    NO, NO and NO!!!...worst thing you could do

    you'd hate to be the bloke on the interchange trying to stop him running out on the ground, like putting a piece of salmon infront of a grizzley bear and telling him to sit down and wear the red vest.

    you're starting to stammer,and this is something octogenarians like OD get at because of their age.

    either take 2 bex and lie down or get back to assimilating youth into the world.

    Viney as Sub?

    Let him ease into the game.

    He doesn't need to ease into the game, he has a thirst for the contest I haven't seen in a Melbourne player since his dad!

    Would love to thrash a team for a change. (And not have a heart attack in the last 10min of the game)

    i thought that because Adelaide came back, and we'd fight them off, and they'd come back again etc. this made the win more crucial for our playing group as we held our reserve and showed some resilience to fight out a win. Much more beneficial than a thumping.

    Although a thumping this weekend, with us giving one for a change, would be absolutely amazing ;)

    I will remind you that our largest score for the year is 81.

    As Paul Roos has said defence first and the offensive side will come.

    I don't think thrashings are on Roos agenda yet - first and foremost is restricting the doggies scoring.

    It's not that pretty but I am more than happy to watch it for the rest of the year if it means we are competitive. Next year we can develop our Geelong like offensive game.

    I think we are going to make it really tough for the doggies to kick a winning score, the game will be decided on if they can restrict us at the other end.

    A few on Demonland are saying the doggies defence is poor and their forward line clearly lacks a key target so this might come down to a battle of the midfields.

    Can't underestimate the dogs though - they have been very competitive/consistent this year. However I can't help but think Melbourne at $3 is pretty good odds.

    They have, but so have we really, only been belted once

    I feel as though Dawes up front might prove to be the difference, the crows mids are better than the dogs and we restricted them

    I realise someone had to make way for Garland. But, I can't help feeling for Alex. Really don't think he's put a foot wrong since coming into the side. Only possible positive is that, maybe, he needed a rest and chance to freshen up.

    Can't really argue with the choice of who had to go, either, given the two other obvious choices (Pedersen & Dunn) have both been playing good footy.

    I guess it's a good sign when it's not easy to decide who to drop to make way for someone who needs to come back, such as Col...

    I tipped our 3 point victory last week so in an attempt to go two in a row:

    Dee's will romp home 8 points this weekend.

    Pedersen BOG.

    I don't think Dunn was ever an 'obvious choice' - he has been starting 18 for the last 2 years - just as important as McDonald

    Yes, and we restrict them to 22 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
