Joe Daniher can be a problem,I live in fear of him kicking a bag.Need a quick big bloke on him.

Frost comes to mind but no backline experience this year.Who do you recon will get him?

You know what, I don't mind that idea. Give Frost a bit of a test. We can always move Tommy to him if it doesn't work, but Frost was recruited as a backman. I'd like to see him tested. They won't do this though. They'll play him at CHF.

We delisted him last year.

I can't believe the club has disregarded Stuie's advice and dropped Frost before Pedo !!

Still terrified of losing.

We will smash these pretenders off the park.

We will need to win by a healthy margin to catapult past the Dogs and the Swans to the top of the ladder. (Maybe then and only then will some of the football commentators have to concede that maybe just maybe we might finish the year higher than the fourteenth position that most of them predicted!)

Wonder if Jack Viney can force himself into the Team of the Week this week?

It's ok. I've got a plan for Daniher. He's on my ultimate footy bench. Time for him to start. His chances of having a good game against us will consequently plummet.

Can't wait to see the boys this Saturday- haven't been to a game since 2013 as I've been in WA recovering from major leg injuries.It'll be be so great to finally be able to see our new young team give this mob an absolute pasting!! I sat through the debacle in '13, it's about time we got a little bit of payback!

On another note, does anyone know if the ticket booths at the G are open today- I need to reserve a seat where I don't have to walk up and down too many steps as that is  still a bit difficult for me to do!

Buy online? You can then print out your ticket, or get a code on your phone to scan at the gates.

Hope you're on the road to full recovery.

We haven't annihilated another Victorian team for half a decade. 12 goals and change. I also had a terrible dream about Viney's jaw. Just when you think you've shaken MFCSS it buries deeper down into your psyche. Go Dees!

we havent won 2 in a row for 5 years (in two consecutive calendar weeks in the AFL)

what a disgusting record.  we need to win this and I hope its by over 100 pts.

i would love to wipe the smile of Sheedys face and see the biggish crowd of bombers fans after that 'stand up the dons' walk, crying into their lattes

The closer we get the more I think we may well go in with no changes. Aside from Petracca and Trenners no one seemed to play extremely well in the intraclub match simulation, I heard on Fox Footy that they are likely to give Brayshaw a run in the VFL, and from the sounds of it OMac might well get up for the game on Saturday. 

While I would like to see our best 22 played I think it's a good thing from Roos/Goodwin/match committee to back the same boys in to get the job done again. 

Hopefully at the VFL there'll be several outstanding performances that force others to perform in the seniors. Casey will be looking very good this week; Brayshaw, Lumumba, Dunn, Trengove, Petracca etc, the first few in particular you'd expect to get full match time.

Shows how far we have come, when we can win a game and than say we don't have to rush the players mentioned above into the team and let them force their way in.

Happy with 3-4 goal win and the players don't play the game before heading out there. 

I don't think we're at the stage yet when we're handing out 10-12 goal beltings. Those days will come eventually. 

I feel the same way, although I do understand those who won't be happy with that.  I don't think we are far enough down the track yet that we can thrash teams, even those like Carlton, but another good display of football and a win with no injuries will do me very nicely.

    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.
