Is it possible to have happiness as a MFC supporter? We have spent 55 years thoroughly invested in unhappiness.

Unfortunately the club has inflicted unhappiness for 55 years  and we have history of dropping these games to teams below us...

*Petty to start Fwd, unlikely but Hawks talls don’t require him up back

Looks like Petty for May

Hibbo for Jetta

M Brown for Fritsch. 
 

Brown trained with the forwards, Petty, Hibbo with the backs.

No. And 23 trained.

I assume that probably means 22 plus sub... any indication as to who the sub might be?

Nah, don’t think you can tell from the session as they all do stuff in groups, so sub likely just goes to group where he would usually play.

I can’t shake the feeling this week is a danger game, it has all the hallmarks of a team getting ahead of themselves with one eye on next week against the tigers. 

I hope whatever is going on at the club the only focus is getting the 4 points against the Hawks. Adelaide this year have shown that if you have high work ethic and belief any team can win on the day. 

Rewatched the replay of the games against Saints and GWS over the last week. Both were a lot closer than we acknowledge on here. The absence of Fritsch really worries me as he was the catalyse for the come backs in both games, and we will really miss May. 
 

It is important we win and win well. In at least two games so far we have been ahead by more than 30 points before three quarter time and failed to go on with it. We need to start burying opponents as we regularly did in 2018. We so far seem to lack the killer instinct.

Sparrow or Jordan perhaps?

Of those two, I'd assume Sparrow, simply because Jordon is a tackling machine.

I like bringing both Petty and Hibberd. I was worried that bringing in Petty which sounds deserved defensively does not balance the amount of attack from the back half we get from Maysie as well. Whilst Jetta has not been bad he has just been hanging on and Hibbo coming in reinforces the we need to look at ways to continually get better. Brown for Fritta is like for like but I would based on last week and him not playing the Fritta role push Melksham back to medisub.

Your memory is long willmoy. That is now ancient history. Add to that we caused the loss.

I was at that infamous match.

Even if we had won, we would have been thrashed by Carlton in the GF the following week.

I would love to be able to get one binman. I am in1b but my clinic tells me not to get excited before June/ July. My best hope is that a lot of people get scared off. I would have two if I thought it would prevent MFCSS!

you are not alone, od. my 98yo mil in nursing home is 1a and has no idea when she will get it. same for rest of nursing home.

i'm 1b. at least my gp has me on wait list but no idea when he will get supply

fortunately there's no covid out and about (yet)......

A bit of a prediction..... Angus Brayshaw who is finding form and fitness after an interrupted preseason to be BOG in a sterling performance that reminds everyone why he went at pick 3 in the draft.

I have heaps of support for Angus Brayshaw - on song, he is a terrific footballer, capable of really effective excusions into the forward line and finding (almost the only one onfield for us in recent years) that space to do that damage to an opposition.

Highly rated but a midfielder he will always be - Clarry and Viney need  to realise he has always been the source of our outside run and/or carry solution that we have looked tirelessly for through the draft. One day, the penny will drop.

Coincidently just ran past Goschs and only Big Benny Brown was on the track having set shots from outside 50 in a #79 disco Casey jumper. 

That means he's fair dinkum, then. Outside 50s rehearsals, like the sound of that effort. Onyer, Benny!

We so far seem to lack the killer instinct. A little mongrel, like Vegemite, goes a long way.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
