We were favorites before Neeld pre-empted reasons for not winning.

Then the money turned.Todays Age shows the odds I took. $1.82. After punters got wind of his weasel words in hope of keeping his position the Suns became favorites.

If Mark Neeld was bumped off as coach before Sundays game I would expect Melbourne would be about $1.60.

Got to wonder if players look forward to the "Gee up" before the match.

Wow. Great odds for us, I'd say. Isn't it funny that Demonlanders are now using betting odds to slag on the club. Any excuse to be pessimistic, I guess.

according to stuie Neeld was responsible for 9/11

Pessimism is a wonderful human trait Old Dee. May you never be unpleasantly surprised through the coming years.

How long untill we fold????

These statements are utter shite! I am happy so long as the team I support go out and play in the red and blue and give it their best shot! Yes we have been miles from our best and we need to change to achive this, both on and off the field. But these types of sentances make me think of you to be like Marvin the robot from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Is the world realy so bad..... Only if if you don't know where your towel is!

Charlie Dixon is now out of the game. I wonder how that changes the odds given he's been their most damaging forward this year.

So one would assume so are sellar and davis as we won't need three tall defenders?

I hope GCS take all their tall players in. Sunday forecast is 19 with rain. Who knows, Nicholson and McDonald's kicking might look alright if no one else can kick a waterlogged footy!

Alas! I'm afraid that water-logged footballs are no longer part of the game.

Blokes struggling to boot the ball 30m is not an image that is 'AFL-approved'.

These days there might be 8 balls at either end ready for immediate deployment.

Nah, he and benell were the two best players on the ground, bout 6 million touches between them and 3 goals to ablett and 4 to benell or something, either way they were the only two decent players they had.

Didn't they get best on ground and second best on ground between them?

Anyway I don't think we'll win, we have a very ordinary side, but I'm going anyway.

I would have thought them and brad green who kicked 5 goals 2 would have been the best, jones was good as always also

And rightly so they should be favorites. The suns are in fine form and have Gazza. We on the other hand lack fitness and a decent game plan. I've tipped the suns, the only thing that will make us win will be if Chris Dawes can have a good game and convert the I50s into goals.

The trouble is, I don't think we are.

I thought the exact same thing.

People get it. Melbourne collectively has a lower average games played than its opponents.

But I hope to God the day we play a team with less experience Neeld's team flogs them...

We should still have too many big bodies for them

They are missing Hunt, DIxon and Warnock, three guys that give them any phyiscal presence they may have.

Reckon we will win by about 40.

Last year they had those players and their defence couldn't cope with our ball movement, sellar looked dangerous, and they had trent Mckenzie on Rivers in the forward line in the first quarter which was a recipe for disaster for them

"We'll go in on Sunday with less experience out there than Gold Coast.

"At the moment we're playing with an average experience of 50 games."

    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
