Th pies fans will pull out the injuries excuses. Never mind that we have been without our best ruckman and our best forward who was diagnosed with cancer. I may add. 

On "The Roar" the pre-game article states our outs are more significant due to their impact on structure.

It also has a bunch of stats that point to the fact that this year our midfield is matching or better than Collingwood's. Yet it's supposed to be 18th vs 1st in the midfield battle isn't it? Well stick that in your spreadsheet Champion Data!

Oh and the stats also prove both our forwards and backs are performing better than Collingwood's too.

Pumped, conifident, but looking at it Collingwood beat Sydney, and Sydney Beat North and North beat us.

So anything could happen haha.

Poor old Bitter cant make it today and

....................... I have a feeling I'm going to regret it.

I'm tipping a win for the ages. A turning point. A season definer. A march to the finals ............. and any other cliché you care to add.

What your really trying to say is that it will be a jolly good flogging....

One thing we have to do is win the first quarter well. We have had to come from behind in most games and failed to do so in a few of them. Getting behind today with the Pies crowd urging them on and then possible rain, will be a hard ask.

Would love to see a huge Dees win, where we can relax watching and build more percentage.

Can't recall the last time I saw that live.

At work until 4 today. Will try a sneak peak at the score but have to focus on my work (I wish!). Rarely missed the QB game in the past and we have had some good wins in the past 2 years.

I just can't see their forward line kicking enough goals, or their defence being able to hold back Garlett, Petracca, Watts and Co. 

And I hope they totally ignore Gav Brown's son, let him be highlighted by his ineffectiveness and obscurity. 

Ill never forget Watts debut against them, how they tried to intimidate and monster him.......I think the team should say hello.

As this dark day gets ever darker MFCSS gets worse by the moment.

Grant me the next three wins and no injuries and I may snap out of it.

Need a good win today to set us up for the next three rounds. Time to play some seriously good football.

Trying to set record on Foxtel app so I can go back an watch the slide shenanigans later on but I'm getting a "request failed, no available box to record"

Anyone familiar or experiencing the same?

I expect us to be inspired by the presence of Neale Daniher in the rooms before the game. Similar to Jesse firing them up in Adelaide.

Just started drizzling here about 10ks SE of the G

same here 13k east, but short and has stopped

On my way to the G. Train is packed. Skies are grey and the temp is dropping by the min. Can see light rain on train windows.

Gonna be one of those classics today. Can feel it. Hopefully we can actually turn up for the first qtr of our biggest h&a game of the year. Track record at the G has been horrendous this year. Lets turn it around against the filth.

 

Go dees.

I'm in the UK, luckily have the day off on Monday so I'll be able to watch it, but I am really struggling to get to sleep. I haven't been this excited about a queens birthday match in a long time. Really wish I was in Melbourne for this one!

Don't think I'll be sleeping too well tonight, probably play the worst case scenarios in my dreams!

Wont all the celebrations in the streets keep you awake?

My husband has been throwing that around for two weeks. Making excuses - this happens every time we play.

pies have a lot of outs, hopefully the dees do not see themselves as a shoe in as they have so often in the past lost when going in as a favourite. Need to go out there expecting to play a hard match against 22 opposition players all playing for their future. We need to win and win well.

I feel like last season Trac really enjoyed playing his first game against the club he grew up barracking for. Hopefully he plays with the same intensity in his second game against the pies.

Hope Salem and Lewis also really turn it on against their childhood clubs

    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

    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
