Having a look at my best 22(team selection) I have realised that 8 players did not strip for the NAB cup. Now that really excites me:

They are- James Frawley (pectoral muscle), 7/8 WEEKS

Nathan Jones (back soreness), -2/3 weeks

Jordie McKenzie (groin soreness),- 2/3 weeks

Cale Morton (finger) 7/8 WEEKS

Ricky Petterd (hamstring) 2/3 weeks

Matthew Warnock (ankle) will miss through injury.- 2/3 weeks

Tom Scully- TBC

Austin Wonaeamirri -TBC.

That to me is unbelievable along with winning twice in Adelaide on the same night. GO DEES.

You know what he 'means'...

Some statistical humour for everyone.

Median is the word he is looking for.

Easy way to remember - the median strip runs down the middle of the road. Median strip.

Thanks rpfc, you are correct of course :wub:

I could be a smartrz and say I was just testing, but as I can never lie, it was just a brain fart

And I did do stats (at uni too) enough to know I didn't want to be an actuary

Anyway, as I think you said in another thread statistics don't "mean" much (at least some of them)

BTW we have median strips in my part of melb that don't run exactly down the middle, but I like your memory jogger anyway

You are complete moron Bobby. Of course the NAB cup is important, nearly as important as a flag. I was very excited with our efforts tonight. Post something sensible next time!

I agree with you, he's a bit of a Num skull at times.

He probobly doesn't understand that we need to recieve winning form & Mo-mentum, just ask Dunny.

The Dunny brush, hmmn,,, I feel a nickname comin on. the 'Janitor', just cleans Up. LoL. forgive me.

Our H/Way has got 3 median strips, so we're doing really well. And they're all parallel to one another, a little like 'corridors', side by side. they go all the way to the railway bridge, but then that wall stops them in they're tracks. The railways tracks.

I suspect this draw was scripted with the expectation that both Adelaide's would beat us as a prologue for their mini derby.

this was the conversation at AFL HQ

Douchebag1: 'well clearly it is logical to schedule the adelaide clubs and the WA clubs to host a match and have a side come from interstate, so 2 victorian sides will have to draw the short straw and travel straight up'

Douchebag2: 'ok, so, game 1 at AAMI... Melbourne?'

Douchebag1: 'obviously'

And playing two teams in Port & Adel at AAMI; coming away with wins

First time ever where we travelled interstate and had so much support. Crows fans went nuts and cheered whenever our players did something against Port. And probably vice versa.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
