Just wondering if it is just me being optimistic and bias but I having been tossing up for days if I should tip us. Sitting 2nd in two comps and I have a strong feeling we will stand up and beat this mob but then again probably more hope than anything. After last week don't know how I could even think about tipping us, but after all, the week after a belting is the only time we seem to play well.

I'll stick to my 1 pt Dee win prediction. Theres no logic really to it as stated elsewhere. It just strikes me as the inane annoying and infuriatling frustrating type of thing Melbourne will do..

I wouldn't do it if I was in your position mate, too risky.

Consider the percentages. If you tip against them and they win you've lost nothing because no-one else will tip them but there's a far greater chance of you tipping another upset over the next 5 weeks.

Was thinking the same, nice post. If they do win i'll be ecstatic anyway.

yes..I agree.. but at this end of the tipping season sometimes you need to take the maverick bets. ...

Would I put real money on them ???? :rolleyes::unsure::rolleyes:

One thing I do like is that this is the first game for a long long time where both of our most dangerous players - Scully and Davey - are in the team. Both need to be tagged, but it's a risk to tag them both, especially if they play a large part of the game on the ball together.

It's time for the likes of Green & Moloney to step up as leaders should and play the games of their lives too. They'll never have a better opportunity to bury their reputation as "flat-track bullies".

Still think that if we can get within 10 goals we'll be doing well. But you just never know ...

I've only mis-tipped one MFC game this year......I thought Richmond would get over us! I've tipped us tomorrow. Crazy I know, but something's gnawing away in my tipping mind that this is going to be the upset of the year. Emotional blindness? Maybe, but maybe not! If we all tip the Dees, you never know what power lies in the collective consciousness. And I've tipped Gold Coast at Skilled.....Naaaah, not really!

I love this sh!t. You're up there amongst the leaders because you have tipped more winners than most of your competition, yet now you're close to winning it you're going to change your tip based on who you think everyone else will tip!

How about you tip who you think will win? Will Carlton win, or Melbourne? That is the question. No extra points for clever tips or half points for your underdog almost getting up.

By the way, I'd tip the Blues if I were you (which I'm not)

I tip Melbourne to win every week that's why I'm sitting second in the Demonland tipping, that and the fact I forgot to put my tips in one week and got 1 instead of 7.

I dont see how another week of stress and bad feeling around the club will improve the team as mentaly weak as they are.

If they do win this week it will becuase the leaders have stepped up and draged them over the line. I know thats what judd would do.

Our leadders have a very poor track record but I would be estatic if they proved me wrong.

    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.
