It's a big day for your good old Uncle Bitter - first live game since this corolla business started! I,ve noted some comments during the week that this is a danger game or the one we are 'due to

I’m so confident these days I don’t even bother to check who we’re playing. Are our opponents today any good?

Didnt Sparrow play yesterday?

Yep, close to BOG. Jetta and Mitch Brown up there as well. Brown probably won it for us with goals late in the game. Beat Geelong by a point. They steadied it really well late in the game to get the win. Poor kicking at goal almost cost us.

So Sparrow won't be playing today and Petracca ran through a full session yesterday with no problems evidently.

The one thing I want from this home and away season is to never have to worry about percentage at all for once. 

Just keep banking the points boys.

In the supermarket and a halfwit in a Carlton beanie says to me, “youse are gonna lose today and you know why? Coz youse never play good against Colt’n.”

I didn’t reply. I just wondered, “who ties your shoelaces for you?” ?

Hey, can you hear that? It’s the sound of Darwin rolling in his grave. ?

Lol.  Funniest thing I've had all morning.

Melbourne by 42. 

Kozzie to kick 5. 

Max Gawn to return to his best form and give Carlton a beard bath. 

arm wrestle in the first half, then Dees run away with it. 

Zac Williams to earn his money and get 10 touches today.

A beard bath.  Lol.

Loving the comedic light relief on D'land here this morning.

 I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain
I'm coming on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young, but you're gonna die
I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya

Hells bells
Hells bells, you got me ringing
Hells bells, my temperature's high
Hells bells

GO DEES

Expecting to get a good win 40+, but we need to get a good start against the Blues, feel we've been a little slow in recent weeks with our starts. For a team that is 8-0 we have done enough to win most games, but only really had one convincing win (scorewise) given that the hawks were right with us for 3 quarters

Carlton could be with us for 3 quarters as well like they did with the bulldogs, however I still expect to win by 40+

A win wil depend on how much the backline are switched on. They have been very good this year but in todays game they may clear it easy out of the centre and provide their forwards with heaps of chances. i would put a hard tag on walsh.

To be fair, we’re still yet to beat a team above us on the ladder. 
 

Need to remain humble mate.

I watched that game, I think that was more indicative of the doggies not switching on till late. 

The key difference between us and the doggies is obviously our defensive lines, the doggies couldn't really handle McKay, we have more options.  we are much better defensively than the blues, and I don't think McKay will get the freedom that he got last week.

Last week Fritta was quite though.  Was that a result of 3, or was it just that Sydney decided they needed to play a lockdown job on him after he kicked the bag the week before?

There are going to be Carlton lockdowns on players. I am sceptical that Carlton have enough suitable players to provide lockdowns for a whole game against the Dees. Their prime movers around the ground will already have their hands full attempting to earn a kick, feed a pass, score a goal, etc, etc. That leaves their young 'uns to do the heavy work, the dirty work, the perilously tiring work of tagging contributing Dees.

Dees to win quarters 2, 3 and 4, notching up a scoring spree to finish the game by a 40 points margin.

Gerard on 360 said that May needed the scalp of McKay today in order to be seen as sitting alongside Andrews, Moore and Weitering in the elite fullback club.

Although that is garbage as he already sits comfortably alongside them, and it’s one game, if that’s what he and others need to allow him into the elite club then so be it.

I’ll take a win and Maysie giving Harry a nice bath.

I hope the boys got up this morning and saw that we are not 1st on the ladder anymore and decided this level of mediocrity just won’t do anymore. 

Yes, we need to be intent on protecting that bit of real estate, that we’ve worked so diligently to earn.

It would be so nice to win by 130 points today and end David Teagues coaching career, be nice to be on the other side of that for once

    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
