Pedersen for Hogan makes sense. Vince and Jones taking JKH's and Trengove's spots also makes sense.

Hannan has been "rested" - probably not a bad idea, assuming it's true, and gives Maynard a taste.

This game is winnable. GWS has hardly played a good game for two months.

On a side note, how stupid is it that we haven't played GWS in over a year after playing them twice in two games.

I was thinking the same thing.

Since we last played GWS, they've played Sydney five times.

I don't know if I can handle watching this game.

A Freudian slip there, BPP?

My very being is telling me to stay away from the TV for this game but my heart is telling me to watch. My heart is pure evil and loves nothing more than creating pain for my wretched soul.

Not sure why Weiderman wasn't picked?

I assume its because the FD think Pederson is more likely to perform at the required level.

Weiderman will have his time over the coming years, but now we need to win a few games and make finals and I agree with the FD that Pedo is more likely to deliver.

It's an easy decision pedo backs up gawn in the ruck, McDonald is much more likely to have a day out than pedo up forward so he needs to stay close to goal, the weed just is not ready and I would just leave him at Casey now for the rest of the year

Happy they didn't pick Weid, has had a few decent games at VFL level but hardly banging the door down.  Pedo matched or even bettered him the last few games so to me its a no brainer.

Feel bad for Trenners, if he gets not interest for trades, maybe we can delist him and rookie him like we did with Jetta, we still need strong leaders in the VFL for the development of the kids.

Strange that there is no time frame on Jesse, not even a minimum.

Hannan did looked pretty cooked last week, freshen him up to come back hopefully with a bang.

Never rated JKH , hasn't been too bad playing as an inside mid, alot better there than forward, but still think he is lacking in many areas, especially defensive.

Be really nice to win tomorrow.

JKH has been named in the back pocket in the VFL

Because he is still a kid.. Can't play through injury and can't tuck. Playing him last year killed us when we needed a presence at CHF! Here's hoping this is a game where Pedersen stands up and makes the AFL take notice. How good would a big bag of 5 be?

blunstone oval runs north south (like shitehad). anyone know if canberra oval is north/south or east/west?

if east/west the wind won't advantage any end unduly as the wind is mainly from the north but will still make conditions tricky

Yep pretty much North/South, slight orientation to the right if centre. Looks miserable (particularly definitely you are a sheep) a 2-3 wind advantage to the southern end.

Playing him this year killed us, no impact.

Hard to fathom that Corey Maynard hadn't played a game of footy in ten years prior to this season. And now he's playing an AFL game.

Given how far he has come in such a short time Corey is a very weird combination of a 26 y.o with some serious upside.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
