According to the modelling we're the least favourite in Week 01.

 

So, this modelling says that we should win, but with less likelihood of winning than the other three predicted winners. (Idk if I’m getting it right.)

Swans are the real smokey, I would not be surprised if they made the Prelim.

They are indeed and i feel more confident against lions...cats and dogs than them.

Not sure why everyone is giving Port no chance. It is their home ground, and Geelong might be super flat after last week. They are also likely to blow up in the last quarter with all the old legs and no pre-finals bye.

I give Port a massive chance, and frankly I prefer they win, as I think we are more chance to beat them than Geelong.

Much prefer Port win I just think Geelong will win.

I think we definitely want Port Adelaide to win if possible, Geelong having to go the long way with no pre finals bye and an older list definitely makes things harder for them, and they'd be a chance to lose to a team like Sydney in a semi final as well.

Geelong out in straight sets. Mentally and physically cooked.

I want us to give Port a lesson somewhere during the finals.

They were hoping to play us instead of Geelong this week. MFC still dont get the respect we deserve.

Port smell blood and they get to play a home final with a crowd behind them

Genuinely torn on who I want to win this, if Cats win then facing them in the Grand Final would be big. And while we’ve been able to arrest a lot of the demons that have been held, I must admit I’d still prefer to avoid them where possible.

Ports 2021 losses.
Rd 3 Eagles by 37 WA
Rd 7 Lions by 49 QLD
Rd 9 Dogs by 19 AO
Rd 13 Cats by 21 AO
Rd 17 Dees by 31 AO

Ports last 3 weeks : 

Beat crows by 4 points 

Beat Carlton by 95, Carlton had no Cripps, Williams, McKay

Beat an underperforming Dogs by 2 points.

Had we lost last week they would of won the minor premiership without beating 2nd, 3rd or 4th through out the home and away season. Doubt that has ever happened before. Would like them to win tonight against a Geelong side with no Tuohy and Stewart, but it’s a big ask for a supposedly inform team which has done little to date.

Beating a side 3 times in a year is a tough call so Geelong would be a massive challenge in a prelim or a GF. Aside from WC over Collingwood in 2018 I can't think of too many sides that have done it.

For some reason I have it in my head that Port are shoe-ins tonight.

Hoping for a tough bruising affair tonight. A couple of soft tissue injuries and hawkings  to get rubbed our for 2 for a dangerous tackle………..yeah right, Hawkings could murder someone tonight and the review will find him with no case to answer 

Could get your wish; shall be watching Dangerfield's calf muscles, in a non-homeoerotic* fashion, with great interest.

*not that there's anything wrong with that...

Man I sick of seeing Geelong in finals - 15 bloody years.  I hope Danger never wins a flag and I hope Selwood doesn't win one as captain and I hope Scott doesnt win his first real flag (the canteen lady could have coached them in 2011).

Glad I'm not being too emotional or childish about this. 

In summary, I don't like the Cats

The only downside I see to Port winning is that we then MUST win tomorrow to avoid going down the path that would lead to a Prelim in Adelaide. 

Whereas If Geelong wins, and Covid situation stays as it, we'll play all our remaining games in Perth, regardless of our result v Brisbane.

    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
