Who Do You Want To Beat?

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.

with blease and watts begining to hit their straps, hopefully the rest can follow suit. Jamar will start rucking to adv while howe will start kicking straight. Gysberts will be back in after the bye and suddenly we have a bit more silk. Optimistic? Maybe but I still think we can get something out of this season

Strangely, I'd rather beat North over the other 3 clubs.

I'd be happy with that too.

Purely to send Brad Scott into meltdown.

He's far too smug when refering to us.

Anyone. I just want to hear the song post-game. Can't wait to see, albeit on television, the players sing it in the clubrooms after. I'm craving that footage!

The problem with beating Collingwood is that all their supporters would rabbit on about how Melbourne treats a game against Collingwood like a Grand Final. I'd prefer a win over Carlton.

I do not care it is still wonderful beating them

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)

Actually I think this may be the right way to go DC

You are onto something here

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.

If that is what gets you through the night Jonesbag.

But it is delusional, we do not have more class than GWS just a wee bit older

I'd hope that the likes of Clark, Jamar, Moloney, Jones, Frawley can help make easy of GWS and GC, but I'm not so sure anymore.

At our best, we'd blow GW$ out of the water by 100+ points. Unfortunately, we haven't been at our best since Round 13 last year.

Bombers without a doubt. They need to be taken down a few pegs.

Yeah the way their fans were waving their scaffs around after the win against west coast..... you would have thought they handed out premierships in may?!!

Essendon no contest.

Go over to Bomberblitz and see the arrogant disdain with which they hold us.

I can't blame them. We've been a joke too long to remember.

At least now we have a coach who won't tolerate any Red & Blue jumper wearing player, not putting his head over the bloody pill.

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 reckon Ratten'll go season's end if they loose to us this week.

    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
