I hope Dogga is watching. It’s enough to make him sign on for us for another 10 years.

Watching Essendon cop a merciless hiding never gets old. Nor ever will. Go Dogs!

I'm going for some mini upsets with little to no confidence.

 

Tigers, dockers, crows, dees, power, blues, suns, bombers, swans.

 

On a side note, Jack Carroll will make his debut for the blues this week after some great form in the VFL. Some demonlanders will be familiar with him as a popular player linked with one of our first round picks in 2020. We ultimately used those picks on Bowey and Laurie. Despite media links, we also overlooked him at pick 34 for Rosman with the blues eventually selecting him at 41. Think the kid has talent and look forward to see how he goes at the top level.

Wow Gil.  No wonder you have swanned off to the US this week.  What an absolute bewdy you have left us.  WCE V Toiges, at 8:10 pm whats more. 
I suspect that, diehard Tiger fans aside, it will hit record low ratings.  
Well done and enjoy your junket.

Even though the dockers are shaping as a rival to us this year i still want them to beat the cats.

Taberner is a big out for them so they may struggle to score but i reckon their defensive game will strangle the cats and they'll do enough to win

Can't wait to sit back tonight and watch the match of the round between Sydney and Brisbane.....oh wait wrong game. It's the battle between a team that's falling down the premiership cliff at great speed versus a side that's been flogged by a combined 147 points over the last fortnight. Revolving fixture working beautifully.

Wouldn't be surprised if Port knock off St Kilda this week, and GC to beat Collingwood for my two smokies.

How the hell was this stinking pile of crap game get a Friday night time slot, 2 of probably the oldest lists who were in all likelihood going to go backwards after last year.

 

Would be annoyed if I was Tigers (petty AFL payback?) going to Perth after playing on Sunday night.

 

Crap scheduling Auld!

Essendon dropped Shiel. Not mucking around

Yes, Shiel should shoulder the blame for Parish having 18 more touches than him and going 40m further with having 18 fewer touches…

Scapegoat, sacrificial lamb, whatever animal - it’s a bit rich. And also pause for thought for those that change clubs - you are always on the outer of the inner, anything goes wrong - you can find yourself at the meat market.

Shiel should have been dropped the week before if they were serious, the footage of him highlighted I think by King was disgraceful, to say the least. That he played last week says Rutton is not much chop IMO

Parish should have gone too.

Its laughable that there was this equivalence being made to Oliver as there were pick 4 and 5. There’s a reason Mahoney got to that pick.

Didnt want to get stuck with Darcy…

West Coast are a rabble who will want to finish bottom of the ladder to finally get a number one draft pick (have they ever had one?). 

And the tigers have been better than their win loss tally suggests, were really good against us in terms of intensity and pressure, and are still playing for a finals spot. 

Grimes in is huge as their defence has been super wobbly and they lack height down back.  

Lambert is also a great in and smart to bring Soldo in to exploit the fact that Nic Nat is out. The tigers will smash them in clearances and post clearance contested possessions. 

And after trying to suffocate us last week (which meant they couldn't transition the ball from their back half because all their numbers were flooded up around the ball, and therefore struggled to score), they will relish the space and time the Eagles will give them and look to get it forward and attack. 

All of which means that i think the tigers will win, and win well (i'm predicting a 5 goals plus margin)

So to Richmond to make their line of 14.5 is rolled solid gold bet.

Shiel has been average at times, but he is not the reason the Bombers are losing. They only have 2 metre Peter - and he is working hard - but they have a poor half forward line, and look like the Dees circa 2015 kicking inside 50. Their defence is brittle, and the entire squad reacts too slowly on transition. 

WCE v Tiges tonight might be a better game than many think - they are both struggling so it might at least be a good contest. Nah, can't keep up the facade - tonight will be rubbish but I will watch it because it is Friday night and the only other option is some of my family are watching Magic Mike. Makes WCE v Tiges look very appealing.

    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.
