Dees by 10 goals.   Hogan loves Etihad and he'll kick 12 on Carlisle and Brown. Viney to have 40 touches and slam Mav Weller into the turf once again. The McDonald brothers to have 20 i

Jones, Vince, Tyson, Watts, Tom McDonald and potentially Spencer are the only players to saddle up in Roos first game as coach 3 years at the same venue.  We had talent such as Terlich, Georgiou,

Who matches up on Hogan you think? Brown? And Roberton/Gilbert on Watts or Carlisle? 

I reckon they'll double-team Hogan, he usually does well against them and kicked 7 in one of the games last year. I would say this is probably why Weideman was chosen, he takes one of those off Hogan and offers more on the deck than Spencer.

Saints team looks virtually full strength. We will need Hogan to kick a bag.

Need to stop Steven in the midfield and Membrey has destroyed us previously.

I'm more worried about Carlisle. He's put a bit of size and feel he'd outmuscle a Weid or a Watts too easily. Even going forward he'd cause some major headaches for us.

The saints look good on paper. I think we beat them if we play at the G. I think etihad tips thr scale in their favour.

I'm officially over the St Kilda hype. A win over them starts the Demons hype machine.

Teams are far more dangerous when they have a spread of 9-10+ goal-kickers, rather than a player kicking 6 or 7.

If you go back through the last 20 years every premiership team, save for Sydney in 2005, was in the top two for spread of goal-kickers.

Here is my tip for surprise matchup. Smith on Riewoldt.

If Nick plays on the wing you need a tall player with pace, who can stay with him.

Smith is quick, has some height and could be given the huge job to negate the champ.

i think so too - his leap makes up for his height vs roo

Pretty sure it's what she said. 

There's been a bit of mail floating around that some of our players are ahead of themselves and the Saints and Dees players might run in to each other a bit given a lot probably line in the inner bayside area. Aside from the overpriced boardshorts salesman I think most of our players have put in a decent preseason so I'm not too worried about it. 

I remember the same thing being said about the GWS players, they were sledging the opposition even when they were being caned on the field, I guess they knew where they were heading and I'm not concerned if our players are going out supremely confident they can win. It's a bit better than the last 10 years where they look like they are defeated before the siren sounds. Any you're right they probably have coffee at the same Brighton cafes.

Gawn got smashed by Hickey twice last year who kept illegally jumping into him. Maybe Spence can nullify Hickey and leave Gawn as a headache in the fwd line? 

I've noticed in a couple of games that Max moves aside or back and doesn't allow the opposition ruck to jump in to him, perhaps this will counter the Hickey tactic, Max has the height and if still on the ground the balance.

    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

    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
