I'm really quite surprised that so many on here are missing the cues from Goodwin.   His agenda and that of his coaching panel is to win a premiership for the MFC.  There are non-negotiables in how yo

Melbourne team: round 21

  • B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta
  • HB: Bernie Vince, Cam Pedersen, Jayden Hunt
  • C: Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver, Jordan Lewis
  • HF: Christian Petracca, Tom McDonald, Jake Melksham
  • F: Jeff Garlett, Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen
  • Foll: Max Gawn, Dom Tyson, Jack Viney
  • I/C (from): Jack Watts, Angus Brayshaw, Billy Stretch, Sam Weideman, Josh Wagner, James Harmes, Corey Maynard
  • In: Brayshaw, Stretch, Hannan, Weideman, Wagner
  • Out: Salem, Frost

Not surprised to see Salem out as he was injured last week.  Frost has been struggling.

Our forward line is looking decidedly short unless both Watts and Weideman come in...

Will be interesting to see who gets dropped from the bench.

I have a feeling pedo watts and the weid will all spend time up forward with both McDonald's down back. There's no one super tall for st kilda up forward that we need frost for. He looks tired, they'll give him a break and get ready for Brisbane and the pies. I think it's a smart move if reiwoldt isn't playing.

T mac will stretch them up forward. No need to move him in defense

MODS - THERE ARE ONCE AGAIN TWO THREADS RUNNING IN PARALLEL.

PLEASE MERGE.

Preferably in the future, leave the speculative one running up until the official team list is announced, and lock the other one until the same time.

Only then can we seperate the speculation from the facts.

Membrey will be too big for Hibberd, i think Pedo would be a better matchup. Watts will need to pull his finger out. Harmes, Wagner and Harmes to miss.

Agreed.

Weird that they don't state injury as the reason for dropping Salem, despite looking very sore at one stage last week. Surely he wasn't dropped on form?

I reckon he was. One, they would have said injured if he was. Two i reckon he did not go hard enough last week. Which is why i think Watts will be dropped. His second half was better but as leader he simply failed to show the required leadership in regards to attack on the ball in the first half. And i say that as one of his biggest fans.

Watts was definitely improved in the 2H last week, in fact I thought he was better than pedo all game.

Dropping him this week would be a big mistake in my mind.

Hes played some big roles in big games over the last couple of years, I would absolutely back him in to do it again.

Scratching my head over Frost's omission honestly.. Not likely to request a trade is he?

You could drive a truck through these lines - he's gone pal - Lever is in ;)

Reminds me of when Frawley went forward for 5 months....

He has been poor defensively over the last few weeks, his run from the backline has also dried up, down a bit on form, get his confidence back at Casey this week with a strong game then straight back in hopefully.

Watts will be gone after this game.

I'm suspicious of your motives as poster 64. Six negative posts to start you time on Demonland. Comments sure to raise hackles. We've been to this rodeo before on DL. Do you barrack for the demons?

I agree, he was better than Pedo. Just 

If picked i really hope to see him tear it up. I think the idea of playing him in the ruck to give Max a chop out is a really good one. Gets him near the ball and he is better tap ruckman than TMac.

    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.

    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
