St Kilda v Essendon at Docklands tonight

A loss by Essendon will almost end their finals chances (they would need to win 5 straight to be on 12 games at season end).

A win by St Kilda will see them firmly entrenched in the eight on 10 wins.

Go Bombers (this week only please)

It's sad that a great caller of sport, who is battling a serious illness, may end up being remembered for the sycophantic, fawning and poor commentary that he is now delivering.  Bruce was so muc

Ash35 is a bummers fan, CD, so that's who he means by "us". He's a nice Bummers fan though - has posted a lot on here over the years.  Be nice.

I would love to see Melbourne win (obviously), Essendon, Bulldogs and Eagles all lose this week.  Start to get a gap between 8th and 9th.

I would love to get top 8 secure before we worry about top 4, since I firmly believe once we have our best 22 fit and firing, we don't need a double chance, or a home final (although both would help!), we can beat anyone, anywhere!

Sorry did someone just say Go Bomber???

I see it differently, I reckon there are only 2 teams outside the 8 that can realistically make it. Bombers and WC (dogs have lost 7 of last 10). So I'll be hoping the Saints get up, they are in great form and will make the 8 regardless IMO. Bombers have an easy run home but if they lose they are almost out of it (at 7 and 9) and we only need to worry about one team coming in.

Port have 5 of 7 at home so they are in. Tigers and Sydney are the teams most likely to move out but I wouldnt be surprised if the 8 stays as is

GWS beating Sydney is the absolute number 1 priority this week. Sydney also have Geelong and Adelaide away, so if they lose all those games they'll struggle to actually make finals despite being the hottest side in the league.

Tonight I'm really not sure what is better for us?? My first gut feel is I want St Kilda to lose as they seem to be our direct competitor this year, but Essendon have a soft run home.

Dont think i can bring myself to support anything Essendon, ever. Not sure why StKilda losing makes a difference to us? Yes theyre playing better now, but hey theyve played 1 really good quarter against the Tigers at home, the rest is just normal StKilda.....they will make the finals anyway. Rather play them than Sydney. Go the Orange people!!

Please god let Brisbane beat Richmond. It's starting to set up nicely for a Richmond fail to top all others. They have no place playing in September. Finals sides don't get humiliated 91-10 in a half of a football, no matter the circumstances.

StKillda to beat essenscum.

Freo to beat west coast.

GWS to beat Sydney.

Melbourne winning would be good but all of these results won't happen.

What works better for us?

Peptides, North, GW$, Bears, Carlton and Dockers all winning would be better for us, yes?

Us winning works better for us, then the other teams can go [bleep] themselves.

Sorry - I just cannot support Essendon in any shape or form.

The only way I see it happening is if Essendon needed to win for us to make finals. Even then I would feel the need to shower after every quarter.

I'm sorry but does anyone else suspect Jane Bunn's an android?? Alarmingly consistent downward inflection at end of each breath. 

I can't have anyone bad mouthing Jane. If she's android, I want to come back in the next life as an android.

    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
