Watts not playing will have zero effect on the result.

Last time we tried something like that, they fined us $500,000.

That's the spirit. Way to support a player of ours who just turned 22. Don't any of you DARE ever talk about "culture". Weak.

This week is going to be very, very, very ugly.

The fact that my girlfriend is a mad Carlton supporter will make it that much worse

If we go in with Sellar at FF & Pederson and CHF i might spontaneously combust

Who cares if Fitzy is a little underdone?! Bring him in!

Maybe try Dunn back in the forward line?

According to SEN Fitzpatrick and Dawes are a few weeks away. I will be happy if we lose under 100 points.

Is there any difference between Dawes doing stuff all in VFL or AFL? Plonk him and Gawn/Jamar in the forward line.

Stick with Gawn, Pedo and Howe up forward and Dunn and Strauss come in down back.

A running player on the chop ping block - Rodan/mckenzie/blease/Davey earns a reprieve.

I don't think Fitzy is ready and whilst we are playing 2 rucks I'm not sure we need another big awkward body forward.

Put Frawley forward. Carlton's bigs won't do anything. Just try it for a round, not going to be the difference between winning and losing.

If kicking a couple of goals gets his head back up and maybe sparks a bit of enjoyment of the game for him, i can't see it as a negative in any way. Blatantly obvious how flat he looks recently.

I can see about a million negatives in Frawley forward.

I'm also not sure how watts not playing or Dawes for that matter is devastating.

Taking a line of form through Adelaide where Brisbane pushed them hard at the Gabba and with a bit of luck they wouldn't have been out of the game against Carlton.

A loss is heading our way but we shouldn't fear Carlton will completely destroy us.

Personally I don't rate Watts at all. But even if you do the silver lining of playing another midfielder will help against Carlton.

Where do they play Ice hockey? My fiance's Canadian so I might tak her to a game. We've already got tickets to Canada vs USA in June I think it is.

At the Ice House down at the Docklands around the corner from Costco.

Dawes a few weeks away....

Sounds good to me. Lets slowly build up our 25 year old marquee recruit at Casey, for a round 13 return. We can't afford afford to throw him to the wolves too early.

I would have thought three weeks back at VFL level would have been enough for Fitzpatrick to put his hand up as being match fit.

Thanks Goodness we've got Gawn back in the team. At least between he and Jamar we can now provide a contest up forward - providing the ball gets inside 50 that is.

    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
