It's never a pleasant experience being the away side at the G against this mob. Actually considered watching this one on the box for all of 5 minutes. Does anyone know where the general admission areas will be down at the Punt Road end of the ground today as I want to have as few of these soap dodgers around me as possible? 

On the positive side, if we are winning by 8 goals it’s not so bad seeing the ferals go nuts

ill do usual, stand on ground level around M9 where a few demons fans usually gather. And try not to get our teeth knocked out

Heading off in about half an hour with my Collingwood supporting brother-in-law to watch the game from high up on the 4th level. Very tempted to bring binoculars, or even "opera glasses" just to pump up the MFC supporter wealthy snob cliche. Feeling good but reckon it will be a close, gut-wrenching game.

Went to this game at the scg last year.

No big freeze.

No atmosphere. 

Hopefully this will be different.

Watched poor Weid struggle and take only one mark.

We came back hard but alas it didn't feel Ike a Qbday round at the scg.

Will we soon be having a kings Bday round?

Not wishing any sickness on HRH.

Just wondering.

As for Melksham being gifted a 200 game I thought he played poorly and then followed up a bad week.

He used to be very good but I think his days are over.

Without May....bbb in a massive slump and no tmac this won't be a cake walk.

Trac seems out of form too.

Mfcss back again.

It's a shame I got used to feeling arrogant about winning. 

Just settle on the MFCSS.

Demons can lose today and we will still be on top!

Freo lost May in game, Trac was crook & shouldn’t have played, then Petty went down, and we got run over with structure out, plus Langdon missed which also hurt structurally!

Last week 5 back, a few looked a little rusty, zero goals from turnover, which is very unusual and still took two poor umpiring decisions to finish us off.

Yes, forward line out of sorts particularly BBB, but it happened last year. Don’t hit panic stations yet. We timed things perfectly last year, have some faith!

Go Demons, demolish the filth!

If our boys are serious we win this game 

Brisbane, Fremantle and Carlscum all winning makes this even more important 

Another loss to a team that is not a real contender would be a concern particularly with our relatively tough home stretch 

so how about when we are 5 or 6 goals up at quarter time how about the team actually keeps on going this week and kick the gettable goals. This has turned into a very very important game for us on a number of levels

Go Dees

Crazy to think we haven’t beaten this mob on QBD since 2017 and Jack Watts’ goal. We’re too good of a team to not beat them today.

As I said in another thread, I think we’ll win today but it’ll be a smallish margin. It’ll be low scoring like 70-55.

Going with your brother in law.

A bad move. Win or lose.

Maybe this week but the bye rounds aren't over yet!

If we  lose today, with the bye next week and Cats and Blues likely to win round 14 there will be 5 teams on 10 wins when the byes are over! 

And heaven forbid, the Cats on top as they play the Eagles next week and will show no mercy to get a big % boost.

Then the top 4 spots are going to be a bun fight.  We need to win today!

Well they beat us last year. We need to stand up today & win to be a game clear on top.                                                 Just hope ginnivan doesn't get the ball to many times & the umps don't feel like they owe him today. I also hope our forward line can click into gear.

Oh and cue for all the snow jokes today. I see Mick Malthouse started yesterday in his column

Malthouse is a borderline [censored] 

He used to bleat about QB vs Collingwood being Melbourne's Grand Final clearly not realising that in 7 actual grand finals v Melbourne, Collingwood won 1 out of 7 

This year he picked Essendon to be premiers

MORON !!

Don't worry, Geelong can't pass us next week even if we lose - they're 8-4, so the best they can get to is 9-4, we'd be 10-3 with a loss.

Brisbane and Fremantle haven't had their byes either, so they can't pass us if we end tonight on top. The only side who could theoretically pass us is Carlton, who are 9-3 having had their bye. They are currently 31.3% behind us though, and play Richmond next week.

If we lose, but we don't shed 7% and therefore stay above Brisbane, it's highly likely we finish next week on top. But, as I think Carlton would be favourites to beat Richmond, if we lose today there is every chance at the end of next week the top 4 are all on 10-3. And, given Geelong has West Coast, St Kilda has Essendon and Sydney has Port, there's a fair chance 5-7 on the ladder will all be just one game behind.

Which will mean, despite starting 10-0 and having a two game lead on 2nd, we could by the end of next week be one game out of 7th.

Malthouse was a great coach but lacks any quality in terms of insights or journalism right now.  
 

I went to a corporate gig about 4 years ago (2017/18) and Malthouse was the key note speaker on Motivation and Resilience.  Worst $15k spent by the business for an hour. He finished in 45 minutes and was “boring “ to be fair. Rattled on about his childhood and how he would spent time dreaming about getting to the VFL. Ok if he was speaking to high school kids but not corporate audience.  PowerPoint was scrambled slides put together without any link to his story.

There are free oxygen bottles under the seats Mb38. The air is a bit thin up there.

We’re killing it!   Sold HEAPS!
 

Long queues of mainly Dees supporters, with the odd Collingwood supporter. I know, all Collingwood supporters are odd, amirite?! 😁

    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
