Thanks, the MFCs newest member; 'Viney', is doing quite well despite her mum's persistence in calling her by some other name.

I agree with the idea but the great thing about UF is the connection you have with the other competitors. With trades and everything happening during the year you begin to make somewhat of an alliance

I don't quite understand why people think that teams aren't trying because of the Keeper rule. If it wasn't for keeper and teams were still struggling we'd still have the same problem - that's fantas

You certainly have developed a very strong list,and yet you tried to con me in getting a very good player for a has been.Although he will star this week.Your odds on to make the top 4, and a very strong favorite to win the league IMO, at this stage.Everything being equal ,you should belt Dappa, but he is a good coach, so don't get over confident, my friend.

Will never get over confident. Picking up and trading out McCauley has been the key.

Question from a RF Leaguer - at what point do the position changes come in?

According to their twitter account, position changes will be reflected on Wednesday.

range rover trade accepted, sorry robbo rr's trade worked better for me, dual position player

You chose Conca over Sam Fisher? Or was it Hargraves I offered you? Big call, although I see where you're coming from

Hello from the top of the table. A big game this week against Dappa. If I can get a win here then a top 4 spot awaits. Bring it on!

Aggressive trading is the secret, I think you've got a slight lead on me, just going by what I've seen my list dish up this year.

Strange trade that one I have to say.

What prompted it HT?

I thought it might interest one or two competitors.

Honestly no inside info Jako13.

It's the way I have read the tea leaves, much like picking Kreuzer with my first pick in the draft.

Sure to get a few "wows", but I have my reasons. A risk sure, as is with few things, but I don't plan on HT Hurricanes stagnating at all come seasons end.

I watched quite a few games on the weekend.

Yes, welcome.

You've put together an almighty star-studded list, you look to be the benchmark. Although a few others would be keen to disagree. Total neutral perspective here. You are the quintessential hot favourite !

Furthermore seems almost bizarre that your brother prior to the return of big Johnno Brown this week, would trade his bluechip out whilst 0-3. Does he owe you or something ?

PS. By geez you got hold of him quick and the trade done quick after last weekends games. I've had am offer on the table for snomeD for days and no reply.

Maybe? I think he jumped at the fact Browny only got 3 touches. That trade offer was actually sent at least a week before he accepted so I have no doubt he'll respond to you in time.

Anyway I'm after a high possession winning forward or a backup ruckman. All my defenders, bar Gibbs are available.

Also Brock McLean anybody?

HT - Are you suggesting all is not how it seems with the brothers version 2 again?

Nice work by you & my old mate JCB pumping up Robbo 24's tyres this early in the season.

I am fairly certain he is buying in bigtime :)

    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
