Come to think of things, if Melk had more of an underbite, he'd make a decent Beavis!

Let’s try this again. To the people who feel the need to comment on how negative the gameday thread is. Yeah, ya don’t say. Gameday threads are full of venting. Some of it mindless. Some of

Im not so sure .. Depending on matchups I think it a line ball between him and Hibbo. Both were great today (especially Smith) 

Special praise to Spargo who put together a very good 4 quarter effort today! 

My changes assuming fitness

May for Hibbo

Viney for Sparrow

T Mac for Melksham 

with Gus and Jordan lucky but might still go depending on if they want Hibbo in the side

Also Harmes to do a Tough as nails tagging job take no prisoners on Duckwood!

Good call.

But I hope Hibberd stays. Was a tough as nails today after an absence and showed lots of courage. Not to mention how many early games he was worth his weight.

Either of Smith and Hibberd will be unlucky but Id keep Hibberd for his previous efforts for what its worth.

Tmac for Melk who deserves credit for his eagles game and viney or maybe chunk in for sparrow.

We should win this one in a canter. Crows have nothing to play for and we have top spot on the line.

Dees by 40+

 

 

 

Anyone want next weeks Tatts numbers ??

 

:roos:

No but last weeks $80mil  Powerball numbers would have been good.

Anyone know what happened to Brown after quarter time? He looked like he was on for 8. 

he lost quite a few one on ones in the 2nd half especially. Perhaps an injury?

Looked doubled teamed every time the ball came his way after his first couple of goals

Seeing the Eagles really struggling against Freo team missing Fyfe and Brayshaw, puts Demons struggling to get out of 2nd gear into perspective.

Very good result today, Fritsch, Langdon both hitting form, Jackson another 👍game, Spargo played well, Pickett won’t be far away from coming good.

Smith filled in well.

Only downers we’re Brayshaw & Melksham very quiet, and Sparrow turned it over too much. Jordon fair!

Assuming Viney, May & TMac all good to come back next week, we should be cherry ripe heading into the finals, and a big show to beat the Cats next week at GMHBA (Hawkins should get a  week or two, the guy was concussed, so careless, high & high).

I always thought the comparison was he looks more like Beavis, just darker hair!

Quality show, I lived in Florida when it was all the rage! Classic!

Adelaide's first 7 goals from our turnovers.

Pretty untidy that.

Twice we let them get back to a 3pt margin but in the end we did what we needed to do including some junk time goals for a change

I just looked at time on ground stats. A lot of our better players had a lot less TOG than usual. Trac was on the bench almost 20 minutes today. Oliver 15 minutes. Gawn 27 minutes off the ground. Gus had a full 30 minutes on the bench. 
We clearly went in with a plan to rest guys. We tried a few different things in the middle. We rested May. 
We wanted to get over the line and we did with minimum effort. Perfect outcome!

Well we've beaten everyone this year except Collingwood - that would be ironic in a Premiership year.

In the 18 the comp, no one has ever beaten all 17 other teams in the one season. Not sure how many have beaten 16.

Given we have dropped silly games like this through the year there’s not much to be too disappointed about today’s performance. Wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t without lots to work on but when you get the 4 points and power home with a quick fire bunch of goals at the end, while missing two key pillars, you have to smile. Particularly with us being on top going into the final round. 

Next week the Melbourne vs Cats and Dogs vs Port matches look as mini QF finals, they set the tone for the finals. I honestly can’t wait!

It was great to see Fritta kick a bag, he really seemed to be enjoying himself. Brown started with a flurry but I felt he stayed involve. Some better kicks towards him could’ve give him a chance at a bag himself (looking at Harmes). 

Ultimately we got the job done and Fritta got a little confidence to go forward (after basically being MIA for the first quarter). 

Bring on Geelong with May and TMac back!

Great forwrad planning by coaching staff w.r.t game time for key palyers.  Max played least ground time for the year I suspect with only 78%.  Similar lower numbers fro Oliver and Petracca.

The only high TOG were ther ususal suspects of Lever (only player with 100% on the ground), Langdon and Petty.

    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
