Didn't GWS start favourites too?

As late as last night we were favorites at $1.82. That price was in todays papers.

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.

That's not true.its a cop out of an excuse.

Thats right. This is a very winnable game. I want Neeld saying how we see it as very winnable and pumping us up. His comments recently have been rubbish. The post lions match interview was appalling.

Sportsbet have us $7.20 at 40 plus, get on!

I don't think it's gonna get shorter anytime soon. I'll wait (have a significant sum to recoup, naturally).

The odds are about right I think.

GCS have way better form than us and with our injuries at present they will have a lot better team on the field on Sunday.

I expect them to win by about 6 goals.

As for GWS, 2014 they will pass us.

The only up side I see for the Dees is 2nd draft pick this year and first in 2014.

I would think picks 1 and 2 or 3, depending if we are last and adding the priority pick that we will get. If we finish last or 2nd last that will be 8 years of crap. If that is not a PP, no club will ever get one again. Plus as I have said elsewhere I reckon we are now in bed with the AFL.

I agree Redleg we are.

It is probably the best spot for us as we are on our knees in a playing team sense.

It is going to take a mighty effort over the next three to four years to get us out of the bottom four.

IMO only the help of the AFL will achieve that.

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

But we have not had our full team on the paddock..... I want to see a forward line with Clark and Dawes in it! I want to see our coaching panel without Royal in it(he is a real mouth breather). A fully fit midfield that puts in like Jones for a whole game! AND removed the stick that is stuck up the arse of some of our backmen and pat them on the head with it to wake them up!.

Dreams, at this stage they may be Robbie..... But we all must have some dreams to aim for! My other dream is to be stuck on an island with the Victoria's Secret Models... :lol: :lol:

Gold Coast were terrible last week against a depleted Dockers outfit, now without their best performed tall this year in Dixon and an underdone Brown in the side.

Cannot see the cause for pessimism.

Dare I say say it.....my dark side says Gold Coast flogs us and we fast track Neelds departure.

So you don't want to win.....because of the coach.??????

Good grief...

As much as Neeld goes on and on about our lack of exp, he does has a 100% win ratio against teams with less games ex than us, i suppose that's something?

    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

    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
