A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the last time we played a game. Victoria went back into lockdown, Jack Viney had his brain fade, the Olympics came to an end and there have been upsets

Anyone who thinks that was an even playing field in respect to the umpiring is deluded.

Rubbish. Name another team thats put up with the garbage we’ve had to over the last 8 days. Be proud of the work they put in.

A wonderful opportunity for the Deez to stamp itself as a professional, mature, resilient, dominant, big-time, legitimate, serious, credible, imaginative (hang-on, Goody's coaching), heavy-weight, premiership contender. Should work out well. 

Did you swallow a thesaurus for breakfast?

Not a fan of Nichols.

 

I remember a few years ago at the MCG, Nicholls performed a rather errant centre bounce to the side, and Max a little bit cynically punched the ball a fair distance away. The look Nicholls gave to Max...

They never forget when the 50/50s are in question...

Given the weather it's not the worst out.

I would suggest bringing in JJ and playing a smaller forwardline with Jackson spending more time at CHF.

If so, wonder if Weid or VDB or JJ to replace?

I reckon JJ comes in. We tend to play kozzie in the midfield sometimes but if it’s raining chuck jordan in the mid and let kozzie stay up forward and get ready for the ground ball. Weids can’t mark as it is so being wet will guarantee he gets 0 marks. Pointless I reckon

Our 22 from the 2018 prelim:

B Neville Jetta, Oscar McDonald, Jordan Lewis
HB Christian Salem, Sam Frost, Michael Hibberd
C Mitch Hannan, Nathan Jones, Angus Brayshaw
HF Jake Melksham, Tom McDonald, James Harmes
F Aaron vandenBerg, Sam Weideman, Alex Neal-Bullen
FOL Max Gawn, Clayton Oliver, Jack Viney
I/C Christian Petracca, Charlie Spargo, Dom Tyson, Joel Smith

Bolded aren't playing tonight (assumes TMac plays). That's 12, more than half the side. An almost entirely new backline, too.

For comparison:

B Shannon Hurn, Tom Barrass, Will Schofield
HB Thomas Cole, Jeremy McGovern, Lewis Jetta
C Dom Sheed, Luke Shuey, Chris Masten
HF Mark LeCras, Jack Darling, Mark Hutchings
F Willie Rioli, Josh J. Kennedy, Jamie Cripps
FOL Scott Lycett, Elliot Yeo, Jack Redden
I/C Liam Ryan, Liam Duggan, Daniel Venables, Nathan Vardy

10 for them not playing.

Pretty relaxed about this game. We only need one win to secure top 4 and we're not playing any home finals anyway so top two pretty irrelevant. I also genuinely reckon we're the best team in the comp and we'll roll this mob comfortably. 

That's not certain snd if finishing higher will be given probably option of venues as in home and away.

So we need to finish 1 or 2,to get that advantage of choice wherever.

Also winning breeds confidence and self belief. Or haven't you played sport much over the journey.?

Max's grin was...i have a problem with authority.

He’s the one who had the Hawks themed Twitter account that got found out right?

    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
