The hubris on this thread is a laugh: If Richmond win today, they are equal third with a (potentially % boosting) game vs GCS next week.  That will all but guarantee them a position in the 8.

The Dees on the other hand will end the round 7th with a nail biting game each week to hold a position in the 8.

We are not over the line and it may come down to the last game of the season for us as other teams in the running (Port, WCE, Ess and WB) have an 'easier' draw.

Cool the jets folks, one week at a time...

 

Throw away the lid LH

 The time has arrived as a Dees fan to show a little arrogance.

Richmond have a game against geelong coming up and port play adel. With GWS losing today, our game against them could put us into 3rd with a W. And we'll have to have an eye on percentage if we have north, stk, bris or coll done at 3/4. A little over confidence never hurt no one, as a supporter.

I agree. But how does Rance get away with dropping Johnson off the ball???????????

His name is Rance - as in rancid.

The more I think about it, I don't mind it. GWS are 1 game ahead of us, and not much percentage, and we play them in that time. Even Geelong play 3 of the top 5 or 6 in the run home, so top 4 is massively open,

Basically, if we win 4 of our 5, which is very doable, we finish top 4. GWS is the only current top 8 side we play.

Didn't see the match or incident but it doesn't surprise me to read he's done that and nothing will come of it. Rance is one the dirtiest and overrated players of the past 20 years. He constantly whacks opponents in the guts, clobbers them over the back of the head and pretends he is going for the ball and eye gouges opponents. In the Tigers game against the Bulldogs earlier this year he eye gouged two opponents and nearly concussed one by belting him over the back of the head. Nothing came of it though. He's a protected species by the AFL though due to his religious beliefs and media work. 

And how about when he king hit Watts last year because he was getting beaten by every opponent he played on and cracked the sads! And in a week where someone had died from it and it got heaps of media attention. The AFL managed to get that swept under the rug quickly with his suspension and no one in the media ever mentions it, just what a star and amazing player he is etc etc *fap fap fap*

When he gets made to play one on one against an opponent, he more often than not loses, even when they're considerably smaller than him. When he's allowed to roam around with no opponent, no pressure and cut off high balls As a freebie the media jerk themselves stupid likes he's the second coming of Christ. It's pathetic. He's one of the most overrated and dirty players in my lifetime and it disgusts me that he is so adored.

Since when have Jehovahs Witness' been a protected species?

If we cut them -do they not bleed out?

Richmond winning means more competition for a spot in the eight, but it softens up the top four big time. A lot of the teams in the eight play each other; pretty much every spot up to third is up for grabs.

All we need to do is keep winning, stuff what anyone else does. As I said previously, this was definitely a good week to have won!

If you cross a Hell's Angel with a Jehovah's Witness you get a big bloke who knocks at your front door and tells YOU to fark off.

    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.
