I think the Oscar bashing here is appalling.  The guy has played 5 GAMES. 5 GAMES people.  He's a kid in a grown up game.  I heard Jade Rawlings speak about him the other night, and he asked supporter

Significant changes needed to be made after last week's showing, and that is what has been done.

Bigger, harder bodies will be needed against the Hawks, and that is what has been done.

All looks good to me!

Best changes all season (unfortunate loss of Viney aside)

Will be interesting to see where Frost plays, and Im shocked to see Vanders back  already but very glad he is.

Vanders played in the VFL before they had the state game last weekend.

Easily the best changes (excluding Viney's injury) all year.

I'm stoked that vandenBerg is back in the team, but is he fit?

No idea why we have kept Oscar McDonald, I would prefer another runner in the team

No doubt after the game we may hear "yeah VB was a bit under done we prob shouldn't have brought him in" or something along those lines!

I would be staggered if Frost doesn't make his defensive debut for the Dees.

With Watts, Hogan and Dawes up forward , we don't require a fourth tall fwd. 

I would think Frost will get a job on Sicily or O'brien.

Jetta on Puopolo

Hunt to be given his biggest challenge ever on Rioli simply because he's our fastest defender

Tommy Mac on Gunston. Much better matchup than Roughead (wish him well)

O Mac on Either Sicily or O'Brien

Wagner on Breust

Unlike last week I feel we have some structure up forward and down back. Three talls up fwd (Dawes, Watts and Hogan) and three talls down back (The 2 Macs and Frost).

Ofcourse it's going to mean bugger all if they smash us out of the centre and Isaac Smith and Brad Hill control the 2 wings.

I query Vanders ability to run out the game???

Really hoping we can be competitive in this one and then back it up with a win over Collingwood.

I missed the Port debacle (have seen the stats), surely Kennedy is stiff to be omitted? Had a very solid year and should be allowed a quiet game.

His ankle might still not be 100%

Looks good to me too and I'm not scratching my head like I have been for multiple weeks.

There's a lot to look forward to on Saturday now, Trenners you bloody beauty, Dawes big body in the forward line and Frosty debuting down back, VDB and Oliver hmmmm.

May have seen the last of Dunn and Grimes in an MFC jumper ... Newton and ANB have their work cut out as well if they want to stay on the list, though ANB has youth on his side.

A few others can consider themselves lucky.

Not sure about not seeing Dunn and Grimes again in a Dees jumper, but certainly in doubt for 2017. VDB played reduced minutes and not that well and is still favoured over Grimes who has played very well at Casey. They both must be very upset and probably see no future at the club.

Good changes. 

Will be interested to see if Dawes and Trengove can slot back to into the highest level against the reigning premiers.

its an unlikely upset , but my gut tells me we can do it.

Only when my gut is full of red wine.

Im going.. because of Trenners...  Ill sit on the fence, in the members near the race. And cheer like a child when they come on and off the ground, and when Trenners goes near the ball I will stand up and cheer, and when he kicks a goal I'll cry... Funny thing football, what it does to you.

For years Ive hated going to Hawthorn home games. They are so SMUG... and when they win they just ... look SMUG! As if we NEVER had a chance, why did we bother... And don't mention Jeff SMUG Kennett!  And don't mention 2000. Or Dermott smarty pants 5x 5x Brereton... I wont go on.

So this week... Im going over the top supporter wise.... and if we win.... my bike ride home up the Johnston st. hill will be the easiest its been in yrs..

This side looks like it could win....

If you saw my stat rankings you would probably change your view SS. Ranked stone cold bottom last week. Really stunk It up.

Risk playing AVB. I think he hasn't played a full vfl game yet so is give him an extra week

great to see a tall in frost added down back and in Dawes up front

ben ken is a bit stiff 

grimes must be starting to lose motivation. With 4 mids/half fwds coming out, he looked a likely in

Great changes. Agree with all of them. Frost to play back too. Be very interesting to see how he goes.

A big weekend for me. If we can somehow beat Hawthorn it'll be the first step in converting my fiancée (of nine years) to the mighty red and blue.

    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
