Recent form for The Bye has not been as good, with Collingwood getting up. The question is whether Melbourne can turn it around - The Bye's recent addition to their forwardline in Rollercoaster has been sensational in his debut season.

I have no doubt the blowtorch will get the Dees over the bye this week.

If there is any concern Striker, it's the spine the bye has. The concern is partying with the missus on the couch with Twitter & Facebook could be a recipe for disaster. It's something some of our players might be accustomed to and yet, have struggled to come to terms with.

We did this already.

Not funny anymore, sorry.

....wow! Read frequently but post very infrequently. Was compelled to write this time though as was astounded that a fellow Dees suppourter would say such a stupidly arrogant and pompous thing.

If you don't like it, fair enough. Just don't read it. And if you feel this way, why waste your time writing about it??? Geez...

Most importantly, why would you tear someone someone else down for making the effort and having some harmless fun.... ridiculuous.

For what its worth, I hadn't seen it before and thought it was a reasonable go.

I know these aren't usually the way they line up, but there's some interesting match ups to keep track of.

Rivers on Twitter should be interesting - a number of the boys have wanted to play on him throughout the year.

Moloney on Party Time could be a little controversial.

Trenners gets an overdue run on the Footy Show and, I'm sure people will read a lot into this, Scully is on Holiday.

Wattsy gets it on with the missus, whilst the old boy Green gets Physio and Jurrah is on the Booze Bus.

Blease looks like a really good match for Work Experience.

My money's on the bye, but I think we'll bounce back and [censored] Port.

I thought mine regarding the spine was at least worth a miniscule chuckle.

I'll just assume rp skimmed my post.

Fortunately Gawn has missed this game. The last time he played a Round of Golf, he lost the frick'n plot. Poor 3Wood.

On a serious note, I can't believe Bobby Petterd has been omitted. Should be a ashamed of yourself Striker475.:P

Last time I missed bloody Martin too. Always end up in that situation.

Admittedly, it's freaking hard to pick a 22 right now!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
