Yes. The exit gate.

Hope Kent has a day out. You'd like him to force out the Bails and the Byrnes of the forward line.

I feel like ringing SEN and whinging about life like the Magpie fans did last night. 91 - 44.

Little bit surprised Jimmy Toumpas isn't going to be running around with them

Jimmy played all of the practice matches for Melbourne so he wouldn't receive the AFL's permission even if the club wanted him to play.

Meanwhile Williamstown is no longer affiliated with the Bulldogs so it will be interesting how we go against them.

Ah didn't realise that, yeah it will be really interesting, i suppose you lose potentially quality AFL players being in your side at times to gain consistency, port Melbourne certainly show it's possibly to be a very competitive team in the VFL without an AFL affiliation

I guess some of those who complained the most in the Toumpas (or was it the Wines) thread would be saying that he wasn't included because he isn't up to VFL standard :-(((

Hope Gawn has a big day. It'd be great to have him back against the Saints to give us a bit of an edge in the middle.

And we could do with him up forward.

Would love to hear that Viney, JKH and Clisby were the 3 best on ground and all players got through with Gawn and Salem impressing. That's the dream.

Hang onto it tm everything else has been in short supply the last two years

......and some seriously tall marketing in the forward line in the absence of Clark, hogan and maybe Dawes. Max at his best is a terrific mark. I would not be surprised if they played Spencer,Gawn and Fitz in the first round

For round 1 selection I would say

Viney

JKH

Tapscott

Clisby

The rest have had very little pre seasons and will need a few weeks in the VFL to get some match practice and form.

Of those players I would say

Gawn

Kent

Strauss

Tapscott will have the better chances of getting into the team should their form suggest it.

Salem and Hunt look to be players that will play the majority of the year in the VFL unless they show unbelievable form

Jack Viney received a knock to the head under a pack, went off, came back and off again. Looks like a mild concussion but it's a bit of a worry because he missed some of the pre season with much the same thing.

Casey 0.2.2 Williamstown 1.3.9 - lots of turnovers and untidy football.

    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
