I feel our only definite losses are Hawks, (twice), WCE and Swans. All other teams we have either beaten in the last 2 years or look flakey in some games this year so all (13 games) are winnable.

It will be close.

Lets just worry about the Saints and then focus on the following week.  We are improving at a rate not expected by any outsiders but the fast moving Saints at Etihad is another hurdle which we must ge

Look at our back end draw and come back to me...

SAINTS
@Suns
BULLDOGS
LIONS
PORT
@Hawks
PIES
@Swans
CROWS
FREO
@Saints
@Eagles
SUNS
HAWKS
@Port
@Blues
@Cats

Looked far worse at the start of the year but with Freo and Ports current form it doesn't look as daunting as it did. The only games I'd say we definitely won't win are Hawks x2, Swans, Crows and Eagles, and even then the Crows game may not look so bad further down the track.

Tjhats a favourbale draw on paper at least...  The Freo game is neutral ground and they suck and wont have Fyfe or Johnson, and we get the Crows at the MCG finally/ The Eagles game is also a neutral venue. . The Swans game is at the SCG, so that along with the two Hawk games are the only ones that worry me.

Will be disappointing if we dont win 11+ games

North v Bulldogs - Too high. No impact.

Crows v Dockers - Too high & low; Can't push Demons lower; can stall Crows

Giants v Hawks - Too high. Can't push Demons lower; can stall Giants

Tigers v Power - Too low. No impact.

Cats v Suns - Too high. Can't push Demons lower; can stall Suns

Lions v Swans - Too high & low. No impact.

Eagles v Pies - Too low. Can't push Demons lower; can stall Eagles.

Blues v Essendon - Too low. No impact.

 

 

If we win, we will sit between 6 and 9. If we lose, we stay 10th and worse case scenario, Port, Pies & Percentage come into play.

With my tips for the week, I have is getting into the 8 by the end of this round.

And I think we will win one of these games. I don't know which, but we will. Bookmark it. ;)

My mistake, the Eagles game is in Perth.   Also known as the MFC cemetery.

The only time I've ever been to Perth was for the footy. We played the Eagles and won by about 10 goals. It may have been 2000. Farmer ran riot. It was wonderful. We can do it if we bring our A game. I'll be really intrigued to see how our game style stands up to the Eagles'.

Well the Suns are being smashed by injuries which bodes well for our quest to make the 8  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-04-27/suns-injury-crisis-rischitelli-and-prestia-out

Prestia is just resting up so he is ready for us next year.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
