Working again today, start early finish early though so better get into it.

Feeling very uninspired for today. Great to see Spargo get a run, I think in today's football you have to be able to play your roll for the team so it's great to see a young bloke get a call up early.

I think today we need four quarters of solid football, doesn't have to be premiership football just solid. Make the most of your opportunities when we have the momentum and wrestle it back when we don't. 

The result, as they say, will take care of itself.

Gotta throw away percentage. Can’t leave us feeling full of joy.      If your life depended on Tyson hitting a target, how would you kill yourself?

Speaking to a Richmond supporter about hardwicks change from 2016 and 2017. He stated that Hardwick was told he micromanaged the game too much.    He changed his style in 2017 and told the p

I feel unusually confident about this match. Essendon are in more doubt about themselves than we are. 

We need to hold Joe D and minimise the impact of the bummers small brigade of quick mids. 

The Return of Bayley and Mitch will add some punch up forward to feed off Tom the Weide and Jesse. 

I like the inclusion of  Charlie Spargo to revitalise the group. A debutante can spark all players to lift with the enthusiasm of youth. 

Looking forward to our mid field group working more effectively with Max and hopefully a game plan than will leak less easy goals to the opposition. 

Dees by 33 points.

Dees by 3 pts in horrifying shamble fest

 

daniher 1.7

hogan 4.12

or else dees by 57 pt in false positive indication of where we are followed by horror show loss next week. Gawn in this case kicks 7.0 and Melbourne 15.4

or else and I suspect most likely Essendon kick the first 8 goals of game in strangle w€nk and we lose by 37

Hoping this game proves my theory that the game plan is more suited to the dome than MCG. 

 

Hogan to kick 6

I think you are right to a certain extent. It's easier to defend on smaller grounds as there is less space to exploit. Our system seems to work at the MCG sporadically, it's a bigger ground & when our work rate drops off just a bit, then it all seems to fall apart. When we are pressing up high on the G it is going to take more sustained effort than it would at Etihad to keep the game on our terms. There is only so long in a game you can keep that high intensity press before your players get tired. I'm hoping the club addresses this or finds a plan B because at the moment plan A isn't working for 4 quarters. I find it hard to see it working on the G for 4 quarters without more running type players in the side. This is why players like ANB will keep getting a game in this system.

Ive got a sinking feeling. But I hope Im wrong. I remember last year we had a game plan that could beat anyone if we were switched on and it was only the dumb one quarter  lapses ( eg fremantle, the pies, the hawks etc ) that stopped us finishing probably top 4. This year it feels like we've fallen behind. Yes, our intensity is now more sustained but the way we play just isnt top 8. Not from what Ive seen so far.  I hate to say it but I think the bombers are a better team...or the team with the bigger upside if they switch on. Anyway I'll have to go and have a long shower after saying that and wash my mouth out. Again...really hope Im wrong about all Im saying and that rocknroll is right!  Im interstate but will be watching

Well not feeling over comfortable about this game. I think we go down or win by a bucket load. 

We really need to win this one. Long road back from here if we don’t . Go dees play with some fight and Goodwin, mix it up a bit.

Not confident about today. Petracca our is a big loss as he’s one of the few players we have with kicking skills and X factor. He’s also a proven goal scoring option forward.

Good luck to Spargo for his debut today. I reckon the kid’s a real goer and hopefully he shows his trademark fight and aggression today.

I will be this weeks sad-sack and predict a Druggies win by about 5 goals. So lacking in faith in the team,  i have planned a 60 km ride on the pusshie instead of staying home to watch another low skilled game of junk.

Surprise me Melbourne.

Would normally attend this game but the stress of the last few weeks has forced me to take a week off and actually enjoy my weekend.

Definitely not confident but hoping the Bombers woes continue as whoever loses will cop it in the media this week. 

Go Dees

    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.
