Melbourne squad

Backs: B.Holland, N.Carroll, M.Whelan

Half backs: D.Ward, P.Wheatley, D.Bell

Centreline: B.Moloney, J.McDonald, B.Green

Half forwards: C.Bruce, B.Miller, M.Bate

Forwards: S.Godfrey, M.Jamar, A.Davey

Followers: J.White, N.Jones, T.Johnstone

I/C From: N.Brown, C.Bizzell, C.Johnson, A.Yze, P.Johnson, R.Ferguson, R.Petterd

The final team will be selected at 5:00 pm on Friday.

Other new names selected on the extended bench mark some welcome returns, including Clint Bizzell and Paul Johnson, along with Ryan Ferguson, and 2006 draftee Ricky Petterd sees his name included for a prospective senior debut.

Missing from the squad will be Jared Rivers, who pulled up sore with a hamstring complaint. He will be joined on the sidelines by Melbourne’s lengthy list of casualties, David Neitz (knee – 3-4 weeks), Russell Robertson (knee – 6 weeks), McLean (foot – 5 weeks) and Clint Bartram (knee – TBA).

Byron Pickett will spend another week gaining more match fitness with Sandringham.

Wheatley at CHB. Gold! :mellow:

Please Daniher, please play Petterd and give me a reason to actually want to watch the game.

Edit: there must be an echo in here because where's Sylvia?

No Sylvia is a big surprise, but perhaps they don't feel he is fit enough yet and don't want to risk him.

However the bigger surprise is no Rivers! Just when I thought things couldn't get worse on the injury front, we now have no CHB. Massive loss, but will surely result in the return of the Biz.

My final interchange is: Bizzell, Yze, C Johnson, Ferguson.

Have to admit, I would love to see Petterd get a game, but I don't think it will happen yet.

Oh my f*cking god?! What is this?!?! Not very confident about this weekend...

Rivers down as well? :( We really are in the dumps injury wise now. Wheatley as CHB? HAHAHA! Now I've seen it all!

Where is Sylvia? Maybe P.J? And wtf is going through the selection panels mind. That team lacks any semblance of class! Looking at that forward line, and going by recent weeks form, we will be lucky to kick 5-6 goals, let alone win :unsure:

Does anyone else advocate the selection of PJ as FF for the whole match, with Jamar and White swapping the ruck?

I think it could be worth a try with Neita and Robbo out, just have Yze and Flash at his feet and kick it long.

I advocate we fake an outbreak of mad-cow disease at the club, forcing the AFL to suspend any Melbourne matches for 5-6 weeks (depending on the length of McLean's, Neita's, Robbo's and Rivers' injuries) :lol:

But if we must line up on Sunday, I hope we don't play someone who can't take an overhead mark at FF.

I have nothing against PJ, I just think it should be a requirement that a forward can take a mark. I'd rather Jamar at FF. At least he might be able to take Scarlett down behind the play or something.

Our best option IMO is to line up with a smaller forward line, and trying to beat the Geelong defenders on the lead. That means Davey, Yze and CJ closer to goal, with Miller and Bruce leading out.

None of this will matter if we lose the clearances though, because a backline of Ward, Bizzell and Ferguson is likely to implode more often than a nuclear plant.

This is total confirmation The Reverend has gone mad.

Sylvia simply must play, from all reports he was fit & simply too good to be in the VFL.

Someone please explain?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
