Sensational vision from Gawn with the handpass too. Great stuff. Bernie Vince has been IMMENSE today. Got him for Sylvia too. Gold.

I've fed the lads and sent them off fox squashing. Now considering a moderate investment on sportsbet.

Lunch with Biffen will probably be its usual costly disaster so I'll be in need of a dees win to lift my flagging spirits and bank balance.

I wish you the best of luck Bbo but keep the investment modest

I want to see us kick more goals than last year.. 3 goals for a game including one being kicked in the opening minute is not a fun game to watch. Surely the inclusions of garlett and hogan plus our faster ball movement means we can kick a better score

Also a big night of tv afterwards - roosy on 360, Tmac on the couch and jones classified?

Who said they heard Pendles was going to miss, is this still the case?

Is it the same poster who said Boak was going to miss last week, then said that he only had one good eye?

Ever since the tradition of the Queens Birthday game against Collingwood began, this fixture has been seen as a milestone game for the season.

It's situated at close to the half way mark and the Pies have always been strong contenders who don't take kindly to a lack of success so it's usually a good measuring stick as to how we've been traveling.

Unfortunately, we've been so abysmal for so long that it's taken on the appearance and the feel of Groundhog Day except for 2010 when we thought we had broken through.

Five years later, we're still waiting ...

Well im looking forward to it. I was reading the age where they had the story on the Wiz's 9 goal 2nd half. What a great day that was.

I just hope we play hard and put on a great show and win. I have given up a days work and good penalty rates to attend today.

Id love to see Mxy play well, Hogan dominate and our midfield get on top and cloke has a shocker.

The trophy is an interesting one. I guess because the game and the event with raising money for MND is today, but I would have thought if they were going to do a trophy it would be a melbourne essendon game as he had a connection with both clubs.

anyway lets hope Neale is back next year to present it.

Fair point, Bitter. As for your lunch with Biffen, are you sure he'll make it? Nobody seems to have heard from him this morning.

he's busy collecting donations for mnd around st.kilda

not sure how much will end up in the coffers as he has pretty high overheads

but he'll claim the full tax deduction anyway

Fox Footy is currently showing the 2010 draw. Basically no one playing in that game is still around for us—and I'm not just talking about our veterans; all our youngsters have been delisted.

EDIT: And now they just crossed to Dean Bailey in the Coaches' Box :(

How many Pies players are left?

Would like to think H will play his best game of the year against his old club!

Hasn't looked motivated yet so this game might kick-start his season. I hope.

You must have missed the first round LH

Today is the first queens birthday match I've missed in 7 years. I've never seen melbourne win, the closest I've seen was a draw. I remember having a good feeling turning up in 2011 when we had a run of good form leading into the game and Collingwood had a few players out, only to be beaten by 15 goals. I sat last year with the family of 2 of our current players and watched perhaps the most boring game of footy I've ever seen. If it wasn't for work I'd be there again, but I am sick to death of waiting all weekend to watch this game and hope we put in a fight, only to get steamrolled. With the events leading up to today, and Neale having his input at training etc, the players owe it not only to Neale, but the rest of the supporters who have put up with so many mediocre performances on this day over the past 7 years.

The windy weather won't help with our poor foot skills and if it turns into an arm wrestle I feel we have too many players who can't win 1 on 1 contests compared to Collingwood. Collingwood look quite tall with 2 rucks and white which could lead to a late change if it starts to rain early. Really hope gawn shows he is capable, think this is the best ruck combination he could compete against to get some confidence. I'd love to say we are going to win but I feel Collingwood have too much midfield depth for us, which has been the story of our year. Hopefully I'm wrong.

As much as it pains me to say... mid field depth has been an issue for decades

I didn't. He just hasn't been the same in the 8 games since.

That was his 200th game and he really lifted for it.

Just hope playing his old side gives him the extra motivation to lift again and continue for the season, not just a cameo game.

    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

    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.
