I do take some perverse delight in watching Jeremy Howe watch goal after goal sail over his head. How's that 'moving for success & to play forward' working out.

The ladder is really interesting. It is completely clear that only two teams have any idea about defence – of course, we are one of them. so lovely to see Geelong on the slide.

it's watching games like this that makes me appreciate how good Melbourne's defence is

Not many interesting matches

It will be interesting to see how Saints pressure game goes against the Cats.  I reckon the Saints will be too quick for them

Giants should easily beat Carlton.  Carlton have nearly all tall defenders out and the giants might actually try this week for their coach

I think there could be some real doozeys here.

The Suns might surprise Freo. although probably not

The Crows form has dropped off recently but the Lions can;t take that game lightly. If the home crowd get behind them they can be awkward opponents

Surely the Giants players will show up given its Cameron's last game

Will be good to see Brodie Kemp play his first game for Carlton.  high rated kid who has been injured his whole career. 

Kozzi from the same draft has 46 games and a flag!

Who are you tipping this week?

May be an image of text that says "2022 TOYOTA AFL PREMIERSHIP SEASON MAY ROUND 09 MARVEL STADIUM WURUNDJERI SAT MAY 14 7:50PM AEST MCG WURUNDJERI S.K.F.C. 1.45PM AEST BLUNDSTONE ARENA PALAWA 2.10PM AEST MARVEL STADIUM WURUNDJEARI SCG GADIGAL 4.35PM AEST 7.25PM AEST ADELAIDE OVAL KAURNA SUN MAY 15 7.10PM ACST GC METRICON STADIUM YUGAMBEH GIANTS STADIUM WANN-GAL 1.40PM AEST 3.20PM AEST OPTUS STADIUM WHADJUK 3.20PM AWST TIMES ARE LLL LOCAL AFD P TOYOTA PREMERSHIP2022"

Also why have the Bulldogs been looked after with the Friday nights yet we seem to have been snubbed.

A perfect round for us would be:

Nil all draw Bulldogs vs Filth

Hawks knock off Tiges

North get a win out of the way over Port

Saints knock off the Cats

Bombers knock off the Swans

Crows knock off the Lions

Suns knock off the Dockers

Giants knock off the Blues

And the Dees win by a record winning margin over the Eagles.

Dogs should be to good at Marvel.

Tigers over Hawks.

Port over the Roos.

Saints in a tight one over Cats.

Swans should down the Bombers assuming they learn how to play at the SCG.

Lions too strong for Crows.

Dockers should down Suns, though GC are a sneaky chance.

Giants to send Cameron off with a win over Carlton.

Dees to destroy the Eagles.

Very much looking forward to watching Brodie play. Wanted us to draft him, but at the same time, very happy with our picks.

AFL ivory tower operatives doing what they do best, rewarding mediocrity. Give them full marks for consistency though. On good authority the contest is now a seagull chip raffle extravaganza to determine who emerges as second best. Currently AFL fixtures appear to reflect that.

Depends on whose side they are on.

And watching Melbourne relentlessly grind the opposition into dust doesn't make for the most entertaining game.
Not for opposition supporters anyway.

    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.
