Should i be barracking for GW$ tonight?

Only if you believe that will affect how hard Adelaide go this week, or if you think we'll somehow win our way to the Semi-Final and you want us to play the Cats at the G after they lose to GWS in the Qualifying final…or something (I spend too much time on that damn ladder predicter).

Bottom line is…I don't think it really matters. The team that matters played today, and [censored] up big time (sorry Nasher).

I think a lot of the rooting for GWS reflects the attitude problem that is endemic at our club.  Good/great teams don't turn it on and off at will - they always come to play.  I don't think the outcome of tonight's match will have any impact on Adelaide's motivation.

 

 

(I would also pee in my own eyes before I hope for a GWS win)

Melbourne there is a team called Geelong playing tonight. They are playing for 2nd spot and a home final. The difference is to you today is they have gone out and will win it. 

They didn't choke, they have actually laid tackles and used the ball well. Because they are hungry and desperate for that home final. 

Just saying. 

On another note Port is giving the suns a bath.

Port to overtake swans on %?

if Tigers win well, They could overtake giants on %?

swans finish 6th....port finish 5th....if we make it play them in Adelaide?

Seems possible, think the Saints might cause an upset though.

Crows have no incentive to play for top spot.

Cue in the rack against the Eagles.

Where are we going for Mad Monday?

Wouldn't surprise me if the Crows rested Sloane tomorrow. 

Book your September holidays, folks. Save yourselves the angst and accept that West Coast are going to win. Clearly they have more to play for than our mob.

Gee the suns are a rabble. only 3 goals scored in 4 quarters. 35 scoring shots to 5. I know he isn't responsible for his team mates choices but hasn't Ablett led that team into a rabble. I know he gave up the captaincy last season but the culture has never been that good. 

He has probably packed up and come to victoria already.

Did a bang-up job establishing a prayer-circle in the playing group, so there's that.

Ablett's destroyed his integrity in the last few months. It's pretty clear he's giving the club a thinly-veiled middle finger because they're making a trade to Geelong difficult. Seems increasingly likely they'll force him to retire rather than get his way.

From what I understand, the Suns front-loaded his 3 year contract, so they are getting royally screwed if they release him from his contract after only 2 years. Pretty unfair on the Suns if he's already earned ~85% of his contract value and decides to walk.

Looks like the [censored] weren't at skilled stadium, they were at the G in red and blue jumpers.

    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
