WHO ARE WE AGAIN?

Not happy Watts is out as he was our best player last time we played them.

Blease as well.

Spewin Sellar is still in, i have zero confidence in his marking ability, and he is full forward.

Very happy, Jetta and Evans are in though.

Would also have preferred Spencer or Gawn to Jamar.

Maybe we can upgrade Gillies groin to LTI and upgrade Magner...

Also how ironic Gillies is out with Groin... No balls in that area!!!

"Groin" I think is a polite euphemism for the shortcoming you mention

Astounded that people can complain about our performances, then defend Watts. He had a great off-season, but has been catastrophic in the 2 games he's played.

Blease also was abysmal last week.

Agree with this totally. People have been bagging how Watts has played over the last few weeks including his dedication to getting the footy, then when he is dropped it's a bad decision. I think people are being oppositional for the sake of it now. It's a bit like your damned if you and damned if you don't! I don't think Watts has been in our best 22 over the last two games. We have to make spots competitive to keep and get!

Not disagreeing with you, however, Sylvia has been horrendous for years now, and yet he remains in the side.

Sylvias muscles probably bring more girls to the game so since neither do anything anyway hes the better option

While the Ins definitely look pretty average on paper, the one thing that you'll get from Bail and Evans is workrate and some run and spread. Happy to see Jetta in too. Watts and Blease need to find some form, and probably best to do that at Casey where they can get a bit of the ball. Would love to see Watts played on the ball or the wing.

I knew Watts was going to be dropped as soon as he was the sub. Why be mad. The guy has had a bad 2 weeks and its for his own good. Remember this is his 5th season. He needs to lift. Also it will get the media off his back though it will be back on the club for dropping him.

Blease is one I just dont get. I love his pace but his ball use is shocking. Rodan either play him or dont. Dont drop him every second week.

Pedersen will be a different player I reckon. No more dropping the head.

Rapt to see evans back

The team has far more balance on paper than previous weeks. One less key defender, and much more run. More midfielders with Trengove on the back flank, Jones on the forward flank, Evans on the wing, bail, Tapscott, toumpas all on the bench.

I like Sylvia named in the centre, make him play as a true midfielder. I think toumpas will be the substitute, bring his run and fresh legs so he can get near it, as he has struggled and really shouldnt be in the side.

    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
