I think it's obvious that we will make at least 2 changes. Hopefully that is it. I like the roos method of as few a changes as possible. Some of the comments on here about toumpas today in my opinion

Is this a football comment or a gossip piece in the Women' Weekly about Megan Gale?

I just finished watching the replay. They played better than I expected after reading the thread. Umpiring was ok in the first half but a string of soft decisions at the start of the third really cost

3.2.20 to 0.3.3 - Not going well so far by the sounds of it. Love someone at the ground to tell me but it sounds as if Spencer and Gawn have the upper hand of Minson. Hearing Toumpas a lot - Stretch was amongst it early. But the dogs seem to have the ball a lot.

Quarter Time: 19 point margin to the Bulldogs and considering how bad we've played we are lucky to be in the game. 3.4.22 to 0.3.3

From the radio I cant really say who has been the best because those who have had it have had terrible disposal.

From the commentators: 50/50 ruck duel, Free kicks the way of the Dogs

Plapp: not hard enough at the moment. Stoppages +6. Lower our eyes and look for the hit ups. Grimes / Terlich will play loose defender this quarter. Dont go to ground. Being strong in the contest and hold your feet. 2 hands on the ball. I'd prefer you to give a free kick away then let them mark the footy. Get a little c*&t about you (on live radio). Move quick but not reckless.

Some disposal issues are holding Toump back at the moment. Getting plenty of it but it needs to be better with the ball use. McKenzie and Bail getting more of it.

Bail ignores a Gawn lead and takes the goal himself.

3.4 to 2.3

Follows with another centre clearance into the forward 50. After some argy bargy in the forward line Kelly (Dogs) hacks it out to a marking Toump. 50m out and it fades left for 3.4 to 2.4.

Much better so far by the Scorps.

Kick out gets knocked out of bounds. 30m from the Casey goal. Pedo snaps for his second and it is now even.

Pedo, Grimes and Toump are putting their hands up. Gawn and Spence are also doing well. An issue that these 2 are having is that by sharing the role (which they are doing wel) they are counteing each others effectivness.

Bullies get one back - 4.4 to 3.4

McKenzie and Toump spending plenty of time in the middle. Havent heard much from Jones (but is that the commentators?). Toump clears from the 50 - to McKenzie and another inside 50 but a bad one (by a Casey mid - not McKenzie). Better defence by us this quarter. And apparently Gawn has lost his beard!!!

If it is Toumpas that they keep calling Toumpas he is being recalled this week. Sounds like 15-20 touches so far.

Brett Goodes now has 7 free kicks. 7! To Redpath and he goals. 5.4 to 3.4 - we are doing well out of the back 50 lead by Toump but we are doing going well inside 50.

8! It is now 8!

Goodes is killing us. Kelly is doing well and we really dont have an answer for Redpath as the mids arent putting enough pressue on the kicks coming in.

21 frees to 7. Sound familiar?

22 to 8 now

Stretch kicks a behind.

What do you think Wayne - do we have any chance? They just seem too quick.

Stretch kicks another behind.

25 -7 free kicks and we are really giving them away. I guess we followed Plapp's instructions

3.8.26 to 6.4. 40. We have the wind this quarter and it is not going well.

Bail contested mark from the kick-in but the quarter ends.

Best for me so far are the usual suspects - Toump, Pedo, Spence, Gawn. Stretch is tagging Goodes now and hopefully quell his impact in the second half.

Pedo has 2, Bail has 1

Toump 15; Spence 12; Grimes 11; Harmes 10; Riley 9

    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

    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
