Not too worried about meeting Sydney in the finals as neither team may yet make it and depending where teams finish we may not play them until the Prelim:cool:. 

5 of our next 7 games are against current top 8 teams. All classic 8 point games.  Plus a game vs our nemesis North, in Tassie.  We need at least 3 or 4 wins from that lot to play finals.  Then hope we don't relax or run out of puff in the last 3 rounds when we play currently lower placed teams. 

I'm confident we will make the finals but a few tests to pass in the meantime.  Then I'll worry about who we play in September.

An Essendon win would have been better for us as it would make Sydneys finals chances close to zero. The less teams who can challenge us for a place in the 8 the better.

If it comes down to other clubs allowing us to fall over the line, we're just making up numbers anyway.  Concentrate on winning and the ladder position will take care of itself as Nathan Jones would say.

How about just winning and winning - unfamiliar territory I know.

So players can direct the Umpire to check to see if it was touched or not?... hmmmm.

Close to one of the worst umpired games of the year, and guess who they were? Tweedledee (who should be ashamed of himself)  and Tweedledum .....

Good news though is that they won't be in Perth

When the captain, Heppell thinks they have it in the bag and 'stop playing' then lose they get what they deserve! 

A 1 point, after the siren win is a great way to shut down that smug team and supporters; even better than seeing them thrashed! 

Its even better when their most experienced and arrogant player stuffs up to cost them the game.

Just watched the last 2 minutes. Daniher took the defensive mark, there is 57 seconds to go and Sydney are still a goal down. In that time sydney score twice and win. Seriously how did essendon stuffing that up?

But its great to watch, especially when Rohan marks it and the bummers players put there hand on there head and slump to the ground. Have a fun flight home boys. 

Imagine on here if we let a game slip like that?! It was be insane. 

I went to bed at 3qtr time knowing my tip of the drug cheats was a good one... f I hate them!!! Glad they lost like they did.

Glad the Swans won as If we can get up (even a small loss) tonight should mean a bloody bumper crowd at the G on Friday night!!! Come on Dees!!!

Who's 45 for the Dons, he literally stopped during a contest on the 50 to let the swans player waltz away to kick into fwd 50 in the last little bit. Was terrible, and beautiful all at the same time.

A cowpat would look good in a Melbourne jumper!

But on Merret, it's amazing that this day in age, with the investments by clubs in recruiting and junior development, that a player of that quality can slide so far in a draft.

Exactly, speed, unbelievable skills, amazing lateral movement, leadership. How this kid wasn't a top 3 pick is amazing.

Protected Pendlebury slings a player in a tackle after already being penalised for a high tackle, but guess what? NO FIFTY!

From a ladder point of view Collingwood winning would be very handy.

Not looking likely at the moment given the Pies have reverted to their earlier season form of terribly inaccurate inside 50 entries..

Aish is a Toumpas clone in almost every way.

Yeah, it's uncanny, and both obviously top 5 picks (I think Aish was 5 wasn't he?).

On another note, is anyone else finding themselves watching a heap more footy this year? Given we are doing relatively well, most games are close and have ramifications on our chances of top 8 or even top 4.

Pies skills are absolutely terrible, and James Aish is an awful footballer.

Jeremy Howe already looking good again today. He is having some season.

Ports pressure has been amazing in Collingwood's defense.

As for Howe, he's a loose defender who has skills. He's also clutch as we saw a few times in Melbourne colours. We've covered his loss well but he still lacks urgency. I'd rather Frost every day of the week.

Watching Colingwood V Port on foxtel (really just settling in for tonight's match) and Brad Johnson's commentary is quite good which just goes to prove that he should NEVER commentate a Bulldogs match. Far too conflicted. Even his fellow commentators last Sunday told him to pull his head in. As for DURRRWAYNE. There is no such thing as a "quarterback" in AFL football you muppet. That's what he keeps calling Pendlebury. Cringe worthy stuff.

    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

    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.
