I know I am one of the worst offenders. I have made a lot of posts since yesterdays debacle, the majority of them irrational and maniacal

If you scan back to the board after round 2 last year, and round 3, it would have been much of the same thing

We will destroy the Cats next week, make no mistake. They are an average team, whom we have the wood over in the last few of years.

the Demons are just slow starters, we should know that by now

A multi pronged forward line next week of Miller, Sylvia, Yze, PJ Davey and Newton will give Geelong fits. They wont know who to put on who.

HF - Sylvia Miller Davey

F - Yze Newton PJ

Sylvia to boot 5, Newtton 4

Order will be restored this Sunday at the G

Demons by 45!!!

Aaah yes. YM is the cheese in the demonland gourmet sandwich.

My prediction. A loss by 1 point.

Why?

Have a look at the dees form compared to that of this time last year...

Round 1 2006 - Woeful opening. No players playing well. Just the one good one who was unexpected (Carroll).

Round 1 2007 - Woeful opening. No players playing well. Just the one good one who was unexpected (Moloney).

Round 2 2006 - Slightly better. Played two good quarters. Gameplan was a touch more improved. The two lesser quarters were downright diabolical. 10 goal loss.

Round 2 2007 - Slightly better. Played two good quarters. Gameplan was a touch more improved. The two lesser quarters were downright diabolical. The only reason it wasn't a 10 goal loss was the Hawks' inaccuracy.

Round 3 2006 - A game we had no right to even get close to winning. Crows had been pretty good, and we were away. Thanks to some inspirational efforts, among them a shot on goal at the death by one Aaron Davey we nearly got up. The three early losses galvanised the team and we went on a spree for the next 12 weeks losing one match to the eventual premiers.

Round 3 2007 - ?

This could be an all time classic Yze_Magicism.

I should just let it go, but I can't. I need to comment on this.

As it stands, right now on form, that could be the WORST forwardline ever. EVER!!!!!!

The two "big names" of the group in Davey and Yze are so badly out of form, they will be lucky to get a game. Newton, if he plays, will be making his debut in senior football. Sylvia has had an interrupted pre season, and while he will probably be picked this week, in his brief senior career for Melbourne, hasn't gone close to even looking like kicking 5 goals in a game. Do I need to comment on PJ? Perhaps a good start for him would be to get his hands above his head to take a mark. Then he can focus on dominating a game of AFL football.

You left out Miller, who actually had a dip yesterday. But I think 3 goals in a game is the maximum you'll get out of him.

The only fits that forwardline will produce, is the fits of laughter I had when you suggested it will kick a score big enough to beat the Cats by 45 points.

I'm not writing Melbourne off for this week, footy is a funny game. But I can't see a 45 point margin, especially if you are relying on the likes of Newton, Sylvia and PJ to kick a winning score.

since there has been some hindsight in this thread re last year and this years performances, I don't suppose someone could do a similar comparison to the errrrr mood of this board in comparison to the same time last year?

Not sure how I missed out on Miller who was in Carey-like form on Monday

    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
