No doubt he will kill them this week, bringing you another WIN.Gee would love to place you in the lower deck, but think you will belt me again.Loosing Hille, Ball, Gray, and this week SJ really puts me behind the ball game.Also, doing this from Japan, is really hard work.

anyhow, enough excuses.Your odds on and I would not back myself.Your ruckman will win it for you, great strategy having two good ruckman whom gain lots of possessions.Just hope I make it interesting.Take pity on me, please

I have lost Yarran to injury, and Shueys shoulder may seem him out as he is EIC.

50/50 in my opinion. My defence is weak and the team managed only 2.10 last week.

You're red hot favourite in scoring terms. And already in front on tackles. Facing an uphill task to get the 4 points this week.

Loving the mind games going on between you 2 Shrewd coaches.

You are the favourite~ No you are?

I am the underdog - No it's me facing an uphill task.

Line ball decision for mine - Shuey playing or not might just decide the contest

Agree. And if I was Worsfold I wouldn't play him if they are leaving it until morning of match to test.

Scales tipped in JCB's favour.

But with the odds and your playing list you are a cert, if I had of been able to playHille, Ball, Gray but I suppose it is only a game but gee I'd luv to beat HT. Believe me!

What's with the stupid Waiver system this year?

I can't remember having to battle through this red tape last year?

If we needed to top up a player after selection we simply recruited them from the player market.

& the players we bidded for earlier in the week have gone from April 27 to May 1 on the waiver system?

What am I missing here? Was this the same in season 2011?

Ruddy hard work isn't it.R U back from USA ?

We play each other next week and I'm away in Japan.You may gain a walkover so I'll have to,no really have to try to put High Tower into the allowed Deck, being the Lower type but very very doubtful.But gee I'll be giving it everything.

Oh well, there is that too. But I'm actually hoping he will contribute to scoring given Clark's absence. If I'm to bury you, I may as well make a good impression....

Edit: Fwiw you have never given me heartburn JCB.

Why do people continue to believe that there are "mind games" going on between coaches? I get that people want to believe that this is the next best thing to AFL coaching, but honestly, are you really going to not pick you best players because the opposition coach says he thinks he may lose?

You are a sad case as you are a looser- you wouldn't know- remember Kevin Sheedy or Malthouse in their prime.You are totally correct, but to me, it is a bit of fun.I, actually have a lot of time and respect in HT, a hell of a lot more than some others.

It's so difficult. Is this more example of said mind games?

no - just admitting one opponent is a nemesis that I just cannot beat. One needs to admit, if someone is better.That is how,I play the game.But don't worry to much for me, I will get trounced this week, but will bounce back, hope you have a great year yourself.At least I am in front in the tipping part.Where are you ?no where as usual.

I'm usually no where? That's pretty hard to do.

8-7 win and out of form. Reid, Smith and Shuey will need to pull their finger out next week v The Wreckers.

In fact, the changes may have to come early and they can be held accountable, won't stand for that crap and cost me % big time. Could have buried Mr Mind Games JCB.

SMaRT move that.

2.8 and 2.4 in two successive weeks has been the return. FMD. Not good enough.

HT Hurricanes brains trust need a re-think and we're 3-2 after 5.

Will listen to trades people. Several of my players on notice. Send the offers through.

5 Rounds down & Team OMR is in big strife.

Fire Sale Time before the season slips to far away.

Swanny excluded (every other player is up for grabs)

Deals must be completed before Wednesday to take effect for this weekend.

Every offer looked @ if the team balance is there I am pulling the trigger.

So far in 2012 my trading has been a disaster for myself, every player I have traded is now in the top 100, so there is a fair chance

you will significantly improve your side.

You don't know how good you have got it?

I would kill for just a single hit out - Haven't seen one since round 3

Was so happy when I was checking my matchups and saw McCauley had been put in, otherwise I rely on Stanley's 8 hit outs haha

Was watching the west coast v Richmond match hoping Marci didn't get 5 more hit outs in the last 7:35 left on the clock! Haha. The gf was freaked out when I was celebrating nicnat getting a hit out as I usually hate him!

Wow. How quickly the wheels can fall off! Well done Wacko! Coming at you this week RPFC. Hopefully Selwoods out!

Nah, thankfully the tribunal has a Star Player Innocence Card © enabled. Geelong has about 5...

Late changes are still killing me - Porpoise a late change, and his back up Polkinghorne also a late change.

If I ever meet Polkinghorne in the street, I'd hit him! It's a good thing I haven't a clue what he looks like...

    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
