Jamar will be a definite in... Wether they go with 2 rucks or Gawns rested. Gawn was run off his feet by Kruezer, think his cooked. Brayshaw needs a rest, his looked tired for the last 8 weeks, don't understand why he hasn't had a week off yet. Howe should do a Henderson and just walk now...

Harmes needs to go back to Casey, turned it over every time he went near it.

Harmes was awful, turn overs galore and how many times did he get caught holding the ball???, far from ready

Deck chairs on the Titanic

Really? Even Demonlanders can't find anything original to say?

The dilemma we have is we need both more height and more pace. Adding Spencer or Jamar fixes the first problem but significantly impacts on the second.

In: Tyson (if fit), Jetta. If either are unavailable, add Matt Jones for his pace.

Out: Lumumba, Harmes.

Rather than Matt Jones for his pace, what about Fitzy? Everybody should look at his highlight when he sprinted the length of the ground and then roasted a goal on Saturday. The Coburg player had no hope of catching him. With Fitzy we get a back up ruckman who can play both ends!

Why would you drop Harmes if he was the only one going in and getting the bloody ball....

Because he turned it over half the time. Love him, but needs a rest and needs to learn to pace himself and use it better.

OUT: Lumumba (inj), Dawes (inj), Harmes, Brayshaw

IN: Spencer, M.Jones, Jetta, Riley

Reckon Dawes might miss with a knee. Harmes and Gus to be rested for the big trip. Spencer to play mostly forward (kicked a bag for Casey) and give Gawn a chopout. Jetta hopefully right to go.

Agree with this. I just forgot about him when trying to think of a replacement. I'm yet to be convinced that he's going to make it...but I am convinced that Matt Jones's AFL career is coming to a very rapid conclusion, so Fitzy would be a better option.

It is hard to believe we are following up the misery of the last 2 weeks with a visit to Perth to face the top side

6 losses in a row to Freo
Ave margin 69 points
Last time we played them in Perth 90 point loss
Head-head $1.08 vs $7.50

They are playing like a bunch of gutless, disinterested hacks right now

20 goal loss, at least, very much on the cards

    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.
