Love Cale, he's the barometer. If I'm yelling "Moiton" like one of the stooges in the last we are in for a good day.

Should be a cracker, melbourne always get up for this game and collingwood would extremely silly to get as cocky as essendon. Im hoping they do and we cruise to a 5 goal win with J Watts kicking 5 off half back and giving Nick Maxwell a jab to the face, even though he isnt playing

Or, in the words of Ralph from the Honeymooners (or Honeymousers if you're a Bugs Bunny Show officianado), "Morton, you, are, a mental case!"

Rohan Bail has withdrawn from the 25-man Melbourne squad for Monday's match v Collingwood and been replaced by Aaron Davey.

That explains why Bail was running extra laps after training finished. He was trying to prove his fitness. Aaron also left training a little earlier than the rest.

Be interesting to see who doesn't line up tomorrow afternoon for Casey, and for Collingwood.

Can we sustain the same intensity levels for a full 4 qrts two weeks in a row? I think our skills may let us down as the match wears on, the Pies are a better finishing team than Bombers. Pies by 30 after an even contest through 3 qrts.

If he plays i reckon he is on his last chance I am so tired of watching him displaying no interest for the contest and his soft dinky kicks

I really hope his time at Casey has fired up his enthusiasm because i used to really enjoy watching him

A few thoughts. Some big names back for Collingwood just before the bye. Appears they are going to take us seriously or they don't want to let the returnees get stale because of the bye. They have been in top form recently with an awesome win over Adelaide and a softie against GC. They know we will go hard at them as proven in these QB games, the preseason comp and our improvement over the past two weeks. I expect they will show us respect unlike the bombers. I really hope we can match them but it will be a dream come true if we get up.

Final team:

In: Frawley

Out: MacDonald

Emergencies are Bate, Davey and MacDonald.

I would have dropped Green before Joel MacDonald Really added hardness last week and Green cost us at least 2 goals due to his age and inability to compete at this level

Oh no, not again...

I know!!! He was a hack as a player, and clearly nothing has changed since becoming an umpire! He's deplorable, he's already cost us one game this year and has killed us with some [censored] poor decisions. Hope he changes.......

Big stage. All eyes of the football world will be on us.

Sellar on Cloke is a key match up. If he can get in his face, even out mark him a couple of times early (dreaming?), I think it can set the scene for a good day.

But it will be won in midfield and Swan, Daisy, Sidebottom, Beams and Wellingham are A-grade even without Pendlebury. Our workmanlike types like Mitsubishi, Moloney, Trenners, Jones and McKenzie are going to have to play out of their skins for us to have a chance.

Not as confident this week but I think we'll put up a good show.

Pies by 22.

Agree with this RR. I've told everyone I know to bet their house on the Dees to beat the Pies today, but, between us, I'm not putting our house on it.

Think the Pies will pull away in the fourth quarter. Just hope we can stick with them through the first three quarters (which will be hard), and that we've still got a contest in the fourth quarter.

Despite the stated line up, I'm not sure Sellar will actually be on Cloke - but I do think his performance in the backline will be very important today.

    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
