People will find any excuse to whinge instead of rejoicing that finally our boys are running out to play. They would have liked 34 but ended up only taking 29 because they are obviously managing load

Liam jurrah will be back in the third round of the nab cup. My mate is cousins with him and that's we jurrah told him.

I think I'm most looking forward to watching the human wrecking ball that is James Magner.

I thought they were taking 34 and I count 29. It will be hot and humid so I hope they have a few more fit boys to take up.

You might find we don't have 34 ready to play. When the coach stated this he had a fit Trengove, Morton and Sam Blease ready. After the first hit out a few other like Cook and Davis may pull up a bit sore and the other players missing are coming off rehab programs.

I know it's only NAB cup but geez it would be great to win the whole thing and give jimmy a possible "going away gift" if he doesn't have much time think he would be at peace watching what he has created over the past few years. Can't do any harm to play a good side and give it a nudge

Well, the obvious notable exclusions are Tapscott, Trengove, Jetta, Jurrah, McKenzie, Cook and Williams.

Wonder why Cook, Sheahan, Lawrence and Taggart have been left out.

Wouldnt this be a good opportunity for them?

I'm looking to see improvement in the following:

2 Nathan Jones- always has a go...needs to show better finishing

3 Clint Bartram- show better finishing

4 Jack Watts- take marks in dangerous space within the forwardline.

5 Jordan Gysberts- show he's taken another step in his development.

6 Matthew Bate- play like he's a 100 game midfielder.

11 Mitch Clark- see him in dees colours providing a focal poing.

16 Jack Grimes- poise and accurate kicking

30 James Sellar- show supporters he was worth the second chance.

36 Aaron Davey- See the Flash of Old..

44 Rohan Bail- has had a lot of injuries...needs to step up now. furfill his potential.

DB, heat might not be a factor but humidity will. Even when it rains it still can be very humid especially in Feb.

You're right, but the showers/rain the last day or so has cooled things down quite dramatically here. Should be quite the same come Saturday, so I don't think humidity should be too much of a factor.

No Jetta is interesting.

Should be good, looking forward to it...heading up to BrisVegas tomorrow and (weather permitting) will spend Saturday on the Gold Coast before the game.

Jetta has only just come out of the "dont touch me" vest. So maybe this is only precautionary. Tappy and Liam are the main worries because they seem to have been in the rehabilitating group all preseason.

That would be a pity and pretty typical of our luck to not even be able to fill a squad of fit players in the first contest of the year. Both Suns and Lions have 34 so we may have some really stuffed players on sunday.

I know its only 4 quarters but you have to take into account how many the opposition have/use and the weather. Hope its cooler than predicted.

Another reason it is disappointing is because less boys are getting the hit out and for the rookies the experience.

Doesn't matter too much though as regardless we will face two fresh squads since we have the first two games.

    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.
