I love facts.

Our confidence is still at a very low ebb when we are sweating on players from the other side being out to help us win. I wonder if it will be in my life time when we don't care about the other side?

Presume nab suspensions get served in premiership season not nab, but can't be sure.

Looks blatant and dangerous enough to draw a week, but we have to beat the team out there not look for help.

"Suns' Tom Lynch can accept 1 match for rough conduct on Matthew Buntine.

Billy Longer can accept $1000 sanction for striking Paul Chapman." - via Patrick Keane's twitter

I just heard on SEN they said on top of Lynch being out, Day and Dixon are also out for round 1. Does anyone know if this is true? I don't want to sweat on who is and isn't playing, but their 3 big forwards being out could pose an issue for them.

In that case, Ablett to play full-forward and kick 10.

Day is set to resume through the twos this weekend but not sure about Dixon

Well, the real win for us would be Ablett sitting it out. He's usually the on who takes the game away from us. Plus they tend to fall apart without him.

They need to penalise Harley Bennell for his indiscretions, so why not have him sit out the opening round as well. In my mind, he's their most dangerous player as far as the MFC is concerned.

This discussion about key outs for the round one match is hilarious reminiscent of the round one match against the Saints last year.

We were a shoe-in to win due to their injury count. Everyone remember that?

Only too well... so we obviously need even more of the oppositions best players out :)

Yes but the difference is GC would have to be missing about 8 of their best 22 for us to go in favourites.

At this stage, they only have Dixon and Probably Lynch out which is no where near enough for us to be confident of a win. They will likely have all their midfield in.

On the other hand St Kilda basically gifted us a win with their massive amounts of outs last year. It was a very disappointing loss by us.

I am reading this thread so clearly I care which opponent stars may be missing but how I long for the day when I think BORING and ignore.

Then I will know we are good.

I put us at about a 20% chance to beat the Gold Coast in round 1, even with a few outs. They are a significantly stronger side than us.

If it was on the Gold Coast yes but it's at our home ground.

We only lost to them by 8 points last year although it should have been by about 3 or 4 goals if they kicked straight.

Lynch kicked 2 goals 2 and took 6 marks so he caused us problems.

The players that they didn't have in that game that will probably play are Bennell, Malceski and Hallahan, while we will have Lumumba, Hogan, Garlett, Newton and Frost.

We definitely will be the underdog but it will be a lot closer than people think.

Our team should be a lot stronger than the side that ran out against the Saints last year.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
