How do you come to that conclusion wyl?

Seems to me we have one of the better ones.

Not saying it is necessarily the easiest but looks fairly good to me.

The Mileage we cover must be factored in stronger than what it is....it is not the only factor, but travel fatigue does occur

Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

Then how come WCE seem to have very little problem last year.

How come Brisbane won 3 in a row.

How come Sydney played in 2 GF's in a row and won 1 and lost the other by less than a goal to the WCE.

It seems to me that good sides win and poor sides don't.

There may be a small amount of problem but it seems to me it is a handy excuse.

Oh we had to go all the way to Perth last week and we were so tired this week.

We had better get a grasp of the problem if it is that big or we will be wandering in the wilderness forever.

you are not factoring in all the "Juice" those teams used....do you remember all the syringes that were in the Brisbane rooms when Lethal was there?

Twice any other team....Travel is a factor, not saying we don't have to master it.

Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning.

Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

Maybe Noble Game doesn't like wet feet Redleg, good luck on tuesday.

Mate I think we are having the same discussion we have had before.

I am sure we are just discussing degrees.

I think we are going to agree to disagree on this one.

Just saw the GWS calendar setup on the news and Sheeds had Ward and Davis beside him. Captain and Vice Captain or Co Captains?

Davis was considered not long after news of going to GWS/leaving Adelaide as captain material.

Both Davis and Ward are fine young, honest men and would be capable of leading the new club.

That may well be so Redleg, but the D'Land ministry of Cultural Enlightenment and Propaganda has decreed that anything and anyone associated with GW$ must be mercilessly castigated, vilified and denounced at every possible opportunity. Your Forum expects every Poster to do his duty. Remember, loose lips sink ships.

If you read between the lines in the line I posted, I think I have complied.

GWS intraclub game tonight at Moore Park in Sydney @ 6.30pm.

I hope the condition of the ground's improved since I last was there. In the late 80s I would not have played the under 16s there!

One of those Under 16's picked up Voldemort last night and even tackled him one or two times.

Things are going well out there at Bleaktown.

Black Caviar, what can you say? Possibly the best this country has produced. Untouched and runs them off their feet. I feel privileged to have seen her run. Wow. I just feel so excited and it gives me hope of getting another good horse one day, one that I can think about all day, in between thinking about my grand daughter and the MFC.

And now for something completely different !

Mark Twain visited our shores ( as well as India , New Zealand etc ) around the end of the 19th century and wrote a book about it .

This book is out in the public domain . You could bookmark it and read it at your leisure .

I am reading Wild Horses, a book by Dick Francis, with as usual, his use of the horse racing world as an ingredient.

I can see us resting a few players in the opening NAB cup and playing all of the rookies that are fit.

i was wondering about this, will we go about the NAB sup the usual way by playing the younger brigade and experimenting or will it be used as valuable experience in learning the new game plan/structures etc. It feels odd to say this about the pre season comp but i think i would be dissappointed if we didnt play our best available side even with the risk of injuries or whatever

    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

    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.
