Well I'm sick of thinking about the Dees so let's talk other teams.

I just read that the bomber leadership group is Dyson Heppell and vice-captain Zach Merrett, David Myers, Orazio Fantasia and Joe Daniher.  WTF are they thinking? The only one there with any leadership is Heppell and he is not a natural leader imo.  Hurley should be skipper with Heppell and Hooker in the LG. still surely they can't lose to the saints who are imploding

Anyway, I reckon the Pies will get up tonight

Lions should beat North away - they have no injuries and are in good form (i'm tipping Lions to make the ?

Dogs may upset Hawks - could be an interesting year for the doggies

and the big one on Sunday arvo - Suns V Freo will break the reckon for interest level and lowest attendences.  even GWS will take the mickey out of that game. I wouldn't be surprised if the umpires and cameramen don't turn up!

I’m friends with Cynthia, who tossed the coin, and I spoke to her partner earlier today. They were putting on a brave front but I could tell they were absolutely gutted, not just by the comments, but

Really? Hurley always looks like he's punched a dozen cones before the game as a warm-up.

Hogan makes his debut for Freo and wish him well and hope he has a super game. 

HW$NBN makes his debut for the Hawks but can't wish him well.  What a steel for the Hawks - 4th round pick, I think.

Agree, he was a stalwart for the Dees and hated seeing him go to the filth. But somehow happy (for him) when he was announced in the leadership group. He is great footy warrior.

Hope the knee is not as bad as expected so I can boo him at the QB game....that's the Collibobbles GF game!

That is a shock inclusion. Daisy Thomas was never the same after a similar injury. Will be interesting to see how he comes up.

Would love to know the real story of that trade.

Collingwood will beat Richmond, as sure as God made little apples. Collingwood will pump the ball into their forward line so often, it'll be like the little boy with his finger in the dyke. It'll overwhelm them in the end. Collingwood have too many goal kickers and without that reprehensible toad, Rance,to defend, the Tigers have got no hope.

Logic says the pies should win because Cox dominated the prelim when Rance was there and he isn't there tonight so Cox should dominate even more. I think I want the tigs to win just so collingwood lose again. 

Gee Id love to see the saints beat essendon. That would be great

Umpires have umpteen colours to choose from yet they wear yellow tops and black shorts at a Richmond home game - they look like Richmond players half the time....

The Pies controlling tempo and momentum of the game by accurate passing (must have a very high kicking efficiency in general tonight) and a lot of switching (keeping off) play around the back.  Also being VERY patient waiting for the right option to hit up around the back or on a shallow forward entry.  Alternatively they kick it low and flat to the hot spot (more so than bombing) if they have to under pressure in a play on situation.

They clearly have a game plan, most players know their roles and play accordingly and they are extremely fit and well drilled.  Barring injuries to key players they will make the GF IMHO.

    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
