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.

Not a fan of Nichols.

Isn't he the one that said to Gawn "what did you do that for?" and gawn replied "throw it up straight next time?"

Hopefully he has forgiven max

Who are our emergencies? If TMac is out then there’s a school of thought to go smaller but then we also need those tall players to ensure the ball comes to ground.

Given the weather id be inclined to vanders or jj.

Like to see AVB run a straight line with a few upsetting collisions for which he is famous. Ever seen an Eagle splatted on the road from impact with a vehicle? It is not pretty, but it puts a full stop on 'em.

Hibberd, VDB, Jordon, Weid

Hmmmm I would personally go with VDB in for TMac if there is the late change but I can see them giving Sam a go and give him simple instructions to get to as many contests as possible and bring it down to crumbers.

why a loss may not be the end of the world. MFCSS coming to the fore here.

If we win tonight, but lose against Geelong in the last round, and Port happen to beat the bulldogs in their last round, we would finish 3rd and play Port (second) away in the first final. This assumes all the top 4 win in Rd 22 - which is probably a fair assumption.

If we lose tonight, and then end up finishing fourth (assuming we lose to Geelong in the last round - which can be arranged!) we would play the Cats again in the first final (most likely at the G, but the risk is we end up at GMHBA)

Obviously the best outcome is just win the next 6 games - then nothing to worry about!

I’ve told everyone in my household that they have just 2 hours and 15 minutes left in the day to annoy me. After 8pm I do not exist and they must not come into my eyesight. 
Lockdown is hard man!

Pathetic. 

Don't make outlandish remarks if you can't back them up with facts.

Stock standard 'Jumbo' as usual.

That would be a really poor result if we win tonight but end up finishing 3rd and face Port over there. Hopefully the Dogs beat Port in round 23.

Sounds like T Mac’s out.

I had a dream last night that we played Port in the Grand Final at Optus Stadium. Was only mid way into the second quarter when the alarm went off. Think we were 2 or 3 goals up 😎

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.? 

I'm not sure I understand your first point. Are you saying the top 2 will get to choose where they play finals? That is absolutely not how it works. The AFL will tell us where we are playing.

And your second point is weirdly antagonistic for some reason. I agree winning breeds confidence and self belief. Yes, I have played a substantial amount of sport in my life.

If McDonald is out then do they go the tall in Weideman,  or bring in another small in Jordon or Vandenberg due to the weather?

Was that Tom Brown on 7 saying the AFL might scrap the last two rounds and bring the buy and finals foward?

So basically we can go from 4th right up to the top of the ladder. We can also get a 10 point buffer on the lions who are 5th. So us melbourne supporters having seen what this club can do, we all know what will happen tonight, yeh? 

I really really hope Im wrong. 

They said on the news before they reckon tommy will be out and because of the rain we may go small. West coast lost to nth in the wet a few weeks ago. The rain would be good because it would hinder kennedy and darling. 

I just hope Gawn and LJ run Nic Nat off his feet. Such an important game.

    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

    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
