Today is the day of the game; the game is on today. Hence the title. Duh.

So ... is anyone else very interested to see how Cam Pedersen will go today against his old team?

The guy is 26 and is in the first year of a THREE YEAR CONTRACT (I know, right?).

He is in his prime, and should be a leader on the field. This is his chance to make something of himself. Let's hope he can.

And ... Go!

Melbourne fans need to harden up about Etihad. It's oval shaped, has grass on it and is located in the CBD.

If we get inside 8 goals of North today I will be amazed. We are coming off two energy sapping slow tracks in the rain of Geelong and the heat of Darwin to play probably our biggest bogey side at our

Listen to Allister Lynch the [censored], it was a clear throw, FFS.

Who the hell decided it would be a good idea to sign Cam Pedersen to a 3 year contract? I just can't believe somebody would think that was a good idea.

Anyway...

Hopefully we show some fight today, previously the week after Darwin hasn't been to kind.

"previously the week after Darwin hasn't been too kind."

Add our favourite venue to that and a disrespected opponent in the media, desperate to show their ability, and there's a recipe.

I'm heading in with a Roo's mate and am very nervous. A mild pasting I've grown to accept and I only hope we can keep it fewer than 10.

No rational reason to believe we can win today.

Why not though?

It's only Norf.

Somebody smack Brent Harvey immediately .

Get a good start-and who knows.

That'd make me as happy as a five goal win these days.

Sometimes if you cant win the games then winning the fights is the way to go.

Is it just me or are we all a bit harsh on Pederson? Yes he squibbed a couple of contests in his few games, and he can look a little casual, but considering his value as depth, versatility and the fact he probably is on little more than 150k a season makes me think he probably isn't our biggest issue. He kicks well, can take a mark and provides a bit of run out of the backline. He has some pretty obvious flaws, but even though he has been signed for 3 years, his position on the list as a handy 4th defender isn't probably the biggest issue on pur list.

I do hope he has a solid game and plays pretty hard for his sake though.

I think we got a good start a couple of years ago when we kicked 6 of the first 7 and then blew a 4 goal lead at quarter time (Jurrah & Juice 2 each). Scott made a couple of changes, Harvey staged a few and before we knew it they were in front. Lost by 7 goals.

I swore I'd never come back to Etihad.

I'm surprised at all the gloom and doom on this thread about a North Melbourne hoodoo at this stage of the morning. It surely couldn't be the consensus among Demon fans these days because we have a 16 page thread elsewhere titled "Melbourne has moved on from Roos".

:lol:

You would think that it shouldn't be an issue. Under bailey we played terrible football there.

Under Neeld it was all pretty bad where ever we went so i forgot about how we hadnt played well there.

we haven't won there since 06 i think?

Lets see how they play the ground under old man craig.

I think we're a very, very good chance today - for one reason alone.

There's no doubting North will have a handy lead late...and we all know what happens then!

As opposed to all the other weeks, that have been kind? Most of the time the week after we play anywhere is unkind. We lose so often that it's impossible to say if Darwin is a factor or not.

We are coming off two energy sapping slow tracks in the rain of Geelong and the heat of Darwin to play probably our biggest bogey side at our biggest bogey ground which happens to be the fastest track in the land. Everything says massacre to me but I will be there as thats what you do.

I'm curious to see how much playing in darwin last week holds us back this week, half expecting a fairly sluggish game from our boys.

I put 20 on at 16 to 1 for a win in a two horse race.

If we are in it for the first 15 minutes we are in it for a long way.

It's a big if but there are some midfield improvements happening with Max and Fitzy on the ball.

I'm hoping for a massive input from Pedo to justify his career and contract.

Go Redlegs.

I also have money on us, based on the off chance that i would find money and take it as a sign haha.

But i do think we can win, i think North will come very very hard at us early on and try and blow the game apart, if we're able to hold our nerve it will be game on,

looking for a big game from Jones, dawes, howe and Watts and some more improvement from Trenners and Grimes

    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

    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
