Who Do You Want To Beat?

Recommended Posts

One of my best mates if a collingwood supporter (and yes I am ashamed to admit that)

therefore of course Collingwood, queens birthday 100+ points

especially as we have been soooo close to beating them in recent history (what is it 3 points over the last 3 games?)

We came very close in 2010 (losing by 1pt and drawing them), but were flogged by them on the QB last year. It would be so sweet to knock them off this year.

Carlton, dear god Carlton.

I would buy everypaper and read every article, tape every footy show where I might see/hear/read them say how bad the blues were.

Oh wishful thinking.

I'd rather read about how good Melbourne were rather than how bad the Blues were.

actually I like losing

winning is just another form of bullying and an extension of regressive childhood behaviour

i think joan kirner had it right

we should be lobbying vlad to bring in kirner-rules and cease the keeping of scores in all afl games

.....just extractingb the urine (fpor those gullible readers)

Hate then all. But at the moment it has got to be Carlton, simply because if we knocked them off they would go into a frenzy of finger pointing and self loathing that may de-rail their coach...

Even if there were, Scully wouldn't be worth of my one cent pieces.

agreed. i say we get hostile, like the episode off the simpsons where they play pee wee hockey and all the inmates get to go to the game and end up trashing the stadium, if GWS beat us and scully gets BOG i say we act accordingly.

At least the players will hold up their end of the deal, arm in arm with the opposition.

surely the MFC supporter base will be out in droves for that game? i expect nothing short of 40,000 there to heckle and abuse and intimidate GWS and there 4 supporters

You'd hope so. I'm actually very worried about playing GWS, though. I think if I had to tip, at the moment I would be tipping against Melbourne.

10 goal win to the dees, no dramas against the bunch of construction workers.

I sure hope that's what happens. The fallout of a 12th straight loss to start the season to the competition's newest team would have a devastating impact on the club.

We have got too much class and ability to lose to gws and gold coast, even when we play brisbane and port im expecting wins because we have seen what melbourne are capable of. It will eventually click and it will start this week. Everyone will see the 'wheel' begin to move in the direction we all want it to.

Collingwood.

No wait, Carlton.

No wait, Essendon.

Heh, I did exactly the same thing. I landed on Essendon though as they need to be brought down a peg, I think they'd be the most disappointed to lose to us given their current big headed state and I like seeing opposition supporters hurt (is that mean spirited?). Carlton second preference - can't stand them and would love to see the riot that'd cause. Couldn't care less about Collingwood at the moment.

I think class is exactly what we're lacking. I do think it will click eventually, but I'm expecting big losses for the next 3 rounds and we'll be heading into the GWS clash with confidence at an incredible low. I know we are more than capable of thrashing teams like GWS, but as of now, I struggle to see it happening.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
