North Melbourne has indicated its contempt for our team by resting five players for the finals. This is the first time in many years that I won't be going to a final round game in my home state. Won't even be watching it on television.

I have something else on but my message to the AFL is that if you don't treat equalisation more seriously and do nothing other than support the stronger clubs then you will end up with fixtures that attract neither crowds nor viewers.

I don't see our challenge to win today as being much different to Richmond's against the Swans.

The opposition really have nothing to play for. The result won't change where they finish on the ladder. There will be an element of self- preservation involved among some of the players who won't want to get injured and miss finals games .

The answer is to hit them hard, tackle them, pressure them and let them know that they're in for a tight physical contest.

This might be a departure from the way they've been playing lately but it's the last game of the season and they need to make a statement for their fans and for themselves.

i'm genuinely excited about tonite's game, Jamar should have a party in his 150th with no Goldstien, Someone could snag 4 sausages with no Furrito maybe even Watts,North forward line doesn't seem to have enough goals in it to bury us. Warming up the vocals for a little singsong tonite.

Not to be too negative about our chances but let's look at our last 4 games before we start declaring this as a cert.
We have received three genuine thrashings (Hawthorn, Eagles and GW BLOODY S!) and would have been thrashed by the Lions had their skills not been as woeful as ours for 3 and a half quarters.

We are deluding ourselves if we don't think that North aren't in a position to do that again. Our expectations as supporters are that the best we can expect is the team to give a yelp at least. The group should always be aiming to win but some expectations of the support group, as witnessed here, are way off the mark.
I still have a sly chuckle to myself when I read all those posts proclaiming that we should get excited if we knock off North or Hawthorn but beating GWS or Brissy was no big deal. It would appear we are still a way of beating those two teams as it is!

I bet you thought the same thing when we played the GWS reserve team a couple of weeks ago.

I hope you're right but we are just that bad.

where are Norths goals going to come from? Drew Petrie? He's not really Mr reliable. Look, we probably won't win...but at the moment I can't see us getting thrashed by 60+ points with the outs that they have. Hence why I was shocked when i saw most of the tips here: http://resources.news.com.au/files/521/227/cb43e256-2f07-11e4-aafa-2c4cfd90ea1d..pdf

Look at Norths forward line coming into this game. Probably worse than ours...

then it ought to provide an abject lesson in how you conjure something out of nothing...something our lot is too timid to

I am with you. No Harvey is a bonus. I reckon Michie will kick 4.

Just get it over. 2014 in some ways has been far worse than the 2 previous years.

The excuses we heard before were just that.

The "problems" were addressed. & still the players have shown little respect for the jumper and members.

Since Round 13 it has been diabolical. Kicking 3-4 goals in a full game on a dry ground.

Fcuk That.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
