It may seem Glass-Half-Empty but I have a feeling both teams will be eyeing each other off quite closely.

It would seem time for us to make a genuine submission to win by this time of the year.

Even if we were having a "late start", I cant believe any one at MFC would be happy to tank this one.

I reckon it will be a belter of a practise match (if Im right and there hasnt been a deal done to go half hearted)

I almost wish I wasnt going surfing...

Franky the surf is going to be much better Sunday morning, 4-6 ft and offshore early.

Go for a surf Sat morning, then go to to the footy, then surf Sunday morning. That's what i am doing.

Where are you heading for a paddle?

Does this mean Newton is in the squad?

Bring it on.

Wonder if he will be given more than 5 minutes a quarter and played in his rightful position.

There is no way i am missing Juice's debut in the Demons colours.

Judgement Day, well sort of.

according to Punt Road end we're up 6.5 to 2.4

wouldn't have a clue about goal kickers/best players.

again according to them these are some of the match ups:

Raines on Yze, King on Davey, Bowdenl on Neitz, Deledio on Miller, Gasper on Robertson

EDIT: Damn you YM for being 2 mins faster!

Six goals - isn't that our entire quota from last week?

Can't get through to the guys at the ground but will let you know when I hear from them.

Finally spoke to Scoop Junior at the ground just as they were about to start the third quarter.

There's a fair bit of player rotation going on with eight players on the bench. From the selected squad Ben Holland and Byron Pickett are out as foreshadowed and palying tomorrow for the Zebras.

Melbourne dominated the game but late in the second quarter Richmond suddenly kicked into gear and reduced the Demons' 30 point lead to 11 points in fairly short time.

Goalkickers: Neitz 3 Jones Davey Green C Johnson

Best Players Carroll C Johnson (on a wing) Jones & Neitz while Travis has been quietish, his skills have shown out and he's had a hand in a few goals

Chip Frawley's been only on for the best part of 10 minutes and as you would guess, he hasn't done much.

Thanks for that WJ. Much appreciated.

We kicked the first goal of the second half but the Tiges kicking is off beam 9.8.62 to 6.10.46

Meanwhile the Vics were all out for 122 in their second dig and they miss out on the Pura Cup final.

Now I can concentrate fully on the Demons, the World Cup Cricket and the World Swimming Championships!

    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
