I would rather forgo not going to a final in person than play a Home final against Geelong at Geelong. Empty MCG every day of the week or Tasmania.

The worst part about a 7 day lockdown is the first 3 weeks

I called this weeks ago. This is why Top 4 isn't enough. We need to beat Geelong in Round 23. Don't want to play them 2 weeks in a row there.

Crowds in Geelong was a media beat up all the way through. It would be absolutely ridiculous to have thousands at the footy in Victoria whole cases are in the community. Why take the risk?

Saints a decent chance with finals on the line. Cats form is dipping

Good fixture for us as Dogs, Port and Cats all play on Saturday so we will know exactly what the situation is come Sunday afternoon. In my opinion, a good position to be in at this stage of the season.

Its pretty simple, beat Adelaide and get ready for Geelong which will be Saturday night the following week.

Can it dip so far DD that Cats lose their last two and Lions win their last 2? If that happens Lions finish 4th and knock Cats down to 5th. Then again, do we want two interstate teams in the top 4?

Nonetheless, exciting finish coming up.

Geelong will not lose to St Kilda. Unfortunately.

You’re probably correct but we said that about the Giants last week. It’s just a bit of fun picturing the Cats losing all three home games to finish the season.

Yes it would be hilarious. But it won't happen. The saints played well last week so they will be shizen this week.

i actually wonder, given that there's the 'week off' the following week, whether they schedule it for a 'prime time sunday evening' game to try and maximise what will likely determine who finishes top of the table

I think they could quite easily. No crowd at Cat Park. StKilda smashed Sydney last week.

Cats have 8 players listed as tests!

Tuoey out is big. Not great prep for them

In the Gus and Gawny podcast Gawny mentioned we have a horrible record with a crowdless MCG. I can't remember the numbers but they were bad for a team sitting top of the ladder.

We're 0-1-3.

Lost to Richmond and Geelong last year, then this year drew with Hawthorn and lost to the Dogs.

We're 3-0 in crowdless games at Marvel (beat Carlton last year, Bulldogs and GC this year).

And we're 0-1 in crowdless games at Perth Stadium (Round 1 loss to West Coast last year).

And given that we can't be the Friday night fixture, you would think that will be Dogs and Port.  So we will know ahead of time if Port has a top 2 spot (in which case we need to win to get top spot in order to avoid playing them at home in a 2v3 QF).  If they have lost, then we are playing for 2nd or 3rd place and that would only be of significance if the GMHBA home final delusion hasn't been extinguished.....

    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
