  • Dees mids run fwd of the ball and are poor defensive runners too. Could be a shoot out.
  • Melbourne likely to be underdone. 1 match in, what, 12 weeks.
  • If I played that fantasy footy thing Gawn would be my captain this week.
  • Demons should win this and well.
  • What have Melb ever done - well they won a premiership in 1964 - then won their opening 8 games in 65 ( and then spectacularly crashed ) and thats about it - havent done anything since of note
  • Fort v Gawn. This won’t end well if the Dees mids turn up focused.
  • Gawn will have 50 hit-outs, Fort may compete around the ground but he's a mile behind in ruck craft.
  • We have no match for Gawn-->their MF will run hot.
  • Is Melbourne even good?
  • We'll probably get a typical game where Melbourne don't turn up. We win easy, Dangerfield, Selwood and Ablett will be all smiles, Rohan will get a hand-pass over the top in the last quarter and fist pump like he's won the flag (because he cares so much), and it'll be forgotten again.
  • Surely Melbourne and Carlton aren’t going to be the ones to dictate our season, things can slip away too quickly this year. I’m confident we'll hammer Melbourne.
  • Melbourne still have to prove to themselves as much as the football public how capable they are. On raw talent they're up there with anyone, but until they start doing it consistently, the question mark will (and should) remain.
  • Demons are a bull at a gate type of team with players like Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw in the middle although the latter was moved out of the middle at times last year. They’ve brought in width with Langdon & Tomlinson, yet still butcher the ball going forward and run forward of the ball and get exposed the other way. If they put it together they can blow us away, yet they’re very inconsistent and poorly coached. They’re definitely a mood team. 
  • Constable had a day out against Melbourne last year. Wouldn't mind seeing that again.
  • Don’t be surprised. Kolo down back, Blicavs into ruck, Sav up forward.
  • Tigers dump 4 premiership players after a loss. What does Scott do? Gives Harry a rest and brings in even more defenders. Bloke is just too [censored]-weak to make a statement.
  • This club under Chris Scott is a joke.
  • I think it will Sav to ruck, Blicavs to full forward so we can take advantage of his kicking and marking prowess. And Melbourne will be too surprised to counter.

I wish this site was as considered as the views in the OP.

I didnt shake my head at a single post.

The other footy club supporters arent as dumb as some on here think.

The Cats should be fairly confident this week, but they arent exactly OTT with their predictions.

Thumbs up to them i guess.

 

"What have Melb ever done - well they won a premiership in 1964 - then won their opening 8 games in 65 ( and then spectacularly crashed ) and thats about it - havent done anything since of note"

That post has particular significance. The truth hurts.

Absolute bull [censored]. We won the VFL night premiership in 87.

This sums us up perfectly in my opinion. I’m sure a large number of DemonLanders would agree, at least to a certain degree:

Demons are a bull at a gate type of team with players like Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw in the middle. They’ve brought in width with Langdon & Tomlinson, yet still butcher the ball going forward and run forward of the ball and get exposed the other way. If they put it together they can blow us away, yet they’re very inconsistent and poorly coached. They’re definitely a mood team.

Yes we are a moody team IMO how else can it be said. I know one thing  a couple of good wins in our next 2 matches and the mood will change for the better.  That means  3 -1  and a game in hand.   JUST SAYING.

Cocky little turd this one.  It wasn't so long ago that Geelong were in a similar position.

Watch how quickly this forum will be eye rolling at Carlton's flag-less quarter century should we pinch one before they do!

As for the Cats - get your flag count into double figures, then come back to us.

Should we really have to give a rat's toss bag about what the farmers down at Geelong think about anyone?

I think we have a marginally better win loss record since 2000 compared to Carlton, but battling it out for least and second least sucessful team of the century is hardly something I'm going to do a jig about.

...it was bloody nice to beat the Blues by 100 odd points a few years back, but perhaps the Cats fans feel something similar about that fateful day down at Kardinia park Dean Bailey era.

They really dont like Chris Scott.  Amazing to think he won a flag with them.

I could have coached that team to a flag.

”team, go do what you have been doing for the last 5 years. Thanks”

Premiership won.

And then they did something that we haven't done for 56 years. They produced one of the great teams of the modern era.

Rightfully dismissive of our blokes.

They might post some sensible comments on forums but they act like total morons at matches.

    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
