With Garlett out we have very few avenues to goal. Just threw $50 on a big win for North. We are going to get done this weekend. Disappointing start to the season after so much promise!

Dave Misson - "Garlett will definitely play on Sunday"

Pretty silly of Misson to be so dogmatic. Just designed to pi$$ supporters off. There is enough to get people offside without that.

I want to see more of Frost,  we apparently recruited him as a Frawley replacement,  why don't we give him an extended run in the backline?

Dont despair, he will be back ready to go vs the FIlth and I expect to be 3-2 after 5 rounds 

We will bat the FIlth and Ninthmond

With the profits LD you can buy half a can of VB to celebrate/commiserate.

It's just poor timing. We are struggling with attack at the moment. Garlett is the one constant who always gets a few goals. We really need Kent, Vandenburg and others to hit the scoreboard and spread the load. With Hogan down on form and getting double teamed due to slow ball movement it becomes really important those others chime in.

I think it's sadly, a pretty safe bet.

Yep - just like we were a sure bet last week.

Possibly.  However, if you play Frost down back then I think it makes it harder for him to give Max a chop out in the ruck.  It would leave one of their tall forwards with a smaller type player and I'm not sure that's what we want.  Bringing in Wagner might mean that Frost still plays forward (if picked) and Lumumba acts as the third tall, with Wagner and Salem providing the run across half back.

Unless they just get Frost to follow Brown around the whole time and follow him into the ruck when Goldstein has a spell?

Just means Gawn goes head2head with Goldstein the whole match except when they're both on the bench.

I still think Garlett 100% plays.  

It wouldn't surprise to see Pedersen dropped for someone like Stretch, although I'd feel as though we were one tall short, unless they plan on playing someone like Lumumba on Waite.

So I'm on fire this week... :wacko:

What's with the [censored] communication? No wonder the club isn't respected when they spill [censored] like 'he will be 100% fit' then 2 days later he is ruled out

 

Are you really silly enough to think that is what leads to a lack of respect?

They all do it.

Look on the positive side you can get that $50 back by putting $10,000 on North to win as they have an even better chance of beating us now.

Billy is in the team, did he play for Casey last week?

He did Petracca, he was pretty average

    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

    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
