Chandler deserves a gig ahead of Bedford.

I don't see how either is close to being AFL standard. Aside from being too short and light, they both have the uncanny knack of being where the ball isn't at AFL level.

Bedford at least has some leg speed, but he rarely gets to use it unless we are dominating out of the middle.

Just on a lighter side of the coin I ran into Adem Yze earlier today I was coming back from the laundry and Adem opened the door for me.  My wife came scorching down the stairs and said hello and wish

Which AFL team did you coach to a premiership again?

Feel a bit sorry for Hunt & Dunstan Even though l don’t agree with the Melksham decision he’s still a Demon & we should get off his back & support him

Sadly I agree.

Tomlinson will come in for Petty. Dunstan in for Oliver. Rivers in for Bowey. 

If Bedford is out, then not sure who comes in ... hopefully Hunt.

Melksham, ffs.  Hasn't played for 3-4 weeks and was a training cone last time he played.  This is a bad call,  he clearly has pictures of Goody

Goody looking at all costs to save his peptides mates footy career.

Utter bizarre.

No, I believe it’s the other way around. Goody must have the biggest mancrush on Melksham.

I always look forward to your reaction when Melksy is picked. It’s a constant source of amusement. 🤣 Thanksies!

The team selection on paper is baffling and I would be surprised if we lined up .like this. Max has never been a success as a Centre half forward. Again I think we are 1 tall forward short. On previous experience, Melk will play a defensive role on Allir. I hope Harmes isn't down back because we tried that for a season and it didn't work. Good to see Rivers back and I hope Tommo has a great game.

Gawn also never used to be able to kick goals, now his kicking goals after the siren and kicking 5 in prelim finals. Things change.

I think they have picked Melksham to try and improve connectivity with the forward line.

Trac, Viney and Harmes/Sparrow/Kozzie combo in the middle, possibly Brayshaw.

Melks delivery inside 50 is usually pretty good as long as we can get it into his hands.
Got to admit I thought once he got to game 200 there wouldn’t be a 201 but needs must. Now would be the perfect time for him to surprise everyone on DL

Out of the selected team it's either Weideman or Chandler up forward in place of Bedford.

Dunstan for Oliver

Not sure between Hunt or Rivers for Bowey

Never thought I'd say it but I'd give Weid one more chance.

Petracca's 3 goals last week covered up an incredibly bad forward line performance

PS I just realised that that the Melksham selection was real..... Speechless

What does this mean? Serious question. If your preceding sentences are anything to go by it must be disparaging. But what exactly does it mean?

edit: I just googled it. There’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

    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.
