Suns are now favourites to win

Redjacket
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    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.

    Didn't see that coming either.

    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.

    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...

    WTF is going on?

    and how has anything changed since the teams were named last night, just because of the change in betting odds.

    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.

    it was on the MFC site last night I saw it, I needed to check the entire context of what was said as opposed to Stuie's abrieviated anti-Neeld version

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
