Cant believe im gonna say this but go Bom......   no, i just cant do it.

 

The Scott brothers and their god awful unlikable teams are about to occupy 6th and 8th spots on the ladder.  May they continue to fall.

North could go into freefall ... they have a tough run home without 1 guaranteed win ... they'll probably beat the Saints & Pies but Port,  the Hawks, Doggies, Sydney & the Giants are all tough games. 

The trouble is that there isn't a team outside of the 8 who can realistically replace them ... unless the Demons can go on a run of '87 like proportions :ph34r:

They'll be 7-8, same as Port, us and Collingwood, and therefore equal 9th on points. Not sure what your point is...?

His point is that you can't be equal anything as percentage is always factored in. So saying you are equal ninth is a moot point.

And Dwayne Russell is a [censored] I think was another point.

Let the Fall continue.

Can't wait to see Scotts sookie blubbering face at the conference

God I'd love to front up against north again now.

That and the Essendon game has cost us dearly.

Yep we would be right there ready to pounce...

Still can be done but a huge outside chance

You're never equal any spot on the ladder, you're clearly 9th, 10th etc based on %. They are 20% points behind us.

And yes Dddeeerrrrwayne is a c.

Our game vs Essendon was bad, but the Saints are deplorable. At this stage of the season they have a tired depleted list full of top ups and anyone that doesnt smash them is kidding themselves.  Even Zharakis is out today.

How would you like to be the comedian at the Scott twins family reunion 

After every punch line they'd throw their arms in their air then put both hands on their head and shout out "that's not how it goes! It was Reagan who said that to the pope!!!" Then mid week they'd call the booking agency and demand you be sacked.

I'd love essendon to beat the saints so they don't get the no.1 pick this year. 

 

But I'm not sure I want to be paying the saints coming off a loss. 

 

Thoughts?

They'd be just as fired up as we were after our Ess game. Which proved to be a hell of a firestarter for us.

But what the hey. Let's go for the triple whammy in one week. Etihad, Saints, and a team coming off a loss. Three hoodoos beaten in one.

We've actually done well in those match-ups this year.

Collingwood was coming off a bad loss (St Kilda first, Port second) both times we beat them. Richmond was coming off a big loss to West Coast. Fremantle was coming off a disaster. Brisbane and Gold Coast have largely been coming off losses all year.

Indeed, we haven't beaten anyone coming off a win this year (North, Dogs, Hawthorn, Adelaide).

The Media are talking up Melbourne and Collingwood as possibilities to make the Eight.

Channel 7 suggested Norfs run home might be too tough.

We are 3 games behind them.

I can't see it happening.

Hogan could break Fred Fannings record if Delaney stays in the team... He is an absolute potatoe.

Also good to see Membrey having his good week this week, surely he cant towel us up twice in a season

I can't either, but gee it's good to be part of the discussion at this point of the year.  It's a much better talking point than already fussing over what player we want to draft.

So conflicted about this match. Don't like either team, don't want to be the only team that loses to Essendon this year, but don't want to face St Kilda the week after they lose to Essendon. 

Similarly, don't want St Kilda to win because they'll be a game clear of us if they win next week (and we all know our form after NT games, at Etihad and against St Kilda -- the triple threat).

Hope it is an energy sapping draw. Don't want either of these sides to win.

I'd rather not be the only losers to the drug cheats this year.

And if the Saints lose, they won't jump us on the ladder after their inevitable victory next week. Best of both worlds! ^_^

    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
