You want another quick deck and the opposition to run all over us? 

Our frenetic game style is perfectly suited to a quick deck. That's exactly what we want.

It's the big grounds (like the MCG and Optus Stadium) that don't suit us if we don't work hard enough on the defensive spread.

The dimensions of Geelong suit us nicely, like Adelaide Oval's dimensions.

Any chance for some positivity from Melbourne supporters? How about getting behind the boys instead of acting like spoilt brats? Yes Round 1 was disappointing but the last time we played Gee

Knew Kolodjashnij was coming in, he is a good player.  Great to see Lockharts dream come true. Keilty emergency again, thought he was a chance this week but at least he is still in contentio

Frost doesn’t wear 30 on his jumper.  Yes he had a bad one last week but he wasn’t alone. He played some good footy last year. I agree with Wise he is probably there to pinch hit in the ruck

In: May, KK, Lockhart

Out: Hore, Spargo, Wagner

Not surprised.

Changes should give us a bit more run and a bit more aggro.

Not sure who is going to help Max in the ruck...

Frosty stays. Not too sure about this, especially if it's wet.  

agree.. i'd only keep one of frost or o-mac in the side.. shame about the boys dropped, but they'll be back

Was nervous this time last week when the sides were announced. Am so again this week, Frost lucky to keep his spot. Rushing KK in after 1 VFL practice match (sounds familiar) another debutant after getting a spot on the list 2 weeks ago ? Screams desperation

Great to see Lockharts dream come true.

Keilty emergency again, thought he was a chance this week but at least he is still in contention. If he keeps his good form cor a couple of VFL games, hopefully he gets a go sooner rather then later.

I hope Viney is fully fit and not taking the spot of someone who is.

Frost could be used on a wing or up forward is my guess

How Frost is still in the team is beyond me. He. Is. Awful. 

If he could at least offer us something in the ruck I would understand. But he only offers turnovers. 

Has the football IQ of a packet of twisties.

Just glad Viney is playing.  Fingers crossed they aren't risking him and hes good to go.

I'm not filled with confidence... Unless he's improved his fitness drastically in 7 days

Yes Round 1 was disappointing but the last time we played Geelong we beat them in an Elimination final.

There is so much negativity going around atm from supporters it's quite ridiculous. 

It's round 2 FFS and we have a very important game coming up. Let's chuck the dummy out of the cot when it is Round 4 and we are 0-4.

Trouble is I have read this book before. Under neil D    one year good  next year shizen.   Hope history not repeating.   Worry that injuries ect preseason has left us  under done and in a few weeks  may come good but too late.  Would not want to be 0 -4

Honestly, as poor as his brain was last week, we need his speed... We were sooooo sloooooowwwww

Because he's speed was so damaging in that passage of play in the last qrt where he burst through the middle, had no idea what to do then got pinged holding the ball & stupidly booted it away & gave away 50

Viney was never going to be dropped. 

I have a feeling Frost is in the side to pinch hit in the ruck and possibly play forward a bit. 

Agree on both

But is it really doing anyone any real favours by playing Jack if not properly fit/recovered ?

Just asking.

Or in the first quarter when he received the ball at full pace, decided to change direction at full pace and ended up laying on the ground, being tackled and caught holding the ball.

Maybe Viney is fit and just had a really poor game last week. Or maybe he received an early knock last week.

Agreed that we should not be carrying unfit players but gee we need his intensity...hopefully it is his usual intensity and not the Round 1 intensity.

Goody could be doing a Sheedy and bring Pruess in at the last minute for Frost.

    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.
