I like it.

Bench: Watts, Petterd, Dunn. Jones(Sub)

Warnock may come in for Garland.

Also good luck to Dylan Grimes who makes his debut for the Tigers even though we know his heart beats true.

While I don't agree with you Re, Jones,,, I Do agree with wishing Dylan well, and play well boyo.*for your 2nd game.

Only one thing wrong your interchange three, they are all taller forwards.

As much as it greeves me I think the sub might be Jones with Morton at Casey.

I would actually have Dunn, Petterd, Jones and Morton the Sub with Watts at Casey.

But that will not happen

I thought thought the same thing, we want runners changing through the bench, so I thought this, >

B: Luke Tapscott, James Frawley, Clint Bartram

HB: Jared Rivers, Colin Garland, Jack Trengove

C: Aaron Davey, Jack Grimes, Jamie Bennell,

HF: Brad Green, Lynden Dunn, Jack Watts,

F: Stef Martin, Liam Jurrah, Austin Wonaeamirri

FOLL: Mark Jamar, Brent Moloney, Colin Sylvia

I/C (from): Jordan Gysberts, Nathan Jones, Rohan Bail, Sub: Ricky Petterd

Matthew Warnock, Cale Morton, James Strauss

What I want to see: Watts, Petterd, Dunn, Morton (sub)

What I think I will see: Watts, Petterd, Dunn, Jones (sub)

Jones has been bad enough to warrant being dropped, and Morton should hopefully be OK to play 1-2 quarters. Of course there is the risk that if we get an injury early that we'll have to sub Morton in for most of the game, and that might be enough for Jones to retain his spot.

Watts and Petterd do not deserve to be dropped. Dunn's spot is less sure, but I think he'll keep it. Needs to get more of the ball though.

This is what competition for spots is all about. Maric put in the short steps in round one and when he got his opportunity again on Sunday did it again. Jetta make a regulation error that shifted the momentum of the whole game. He also was playing against someone first half weho left him for dead. Hopefully they both learn more of what is required at the top level.

We got smashed at the clearances and have brought in two players who had 23 clearances between them in the VFL last week.

Correct. Glad I'm not the only one.

Dunn to Black

Jones to Power

Martin to Clark

Bennell/ Trengove to Rockliff

Beamer to Rich

Jamar needs to mix it up instead of the soft tap that is easily sharked. Belt a few fwd or to the wing - anything!

We got belted in the middle against this mob pre-season. In fact we have been belted in the middle every week! I hope the Gys can explode out of the middle.

And Wona to provide some fwd pressure and snag a few goals.

is this what`s wrong with our team, rather than worry about x amount of players need shuting down, lets aim on winning the friggin thing first and make them chase us. with all this talk about ommissions, who gets dropped when scully and jordie come back. could be a long year for jones. currently livivg in sydney for work is anoying, want to be at ground to see watt`s work rate. needs to harden up and make tackles count. probably a few guilty of that.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
