I flicked over to the women's marathon and congrats to Jess Stenson (Trengove) winning gold, 3 aussies in the top 5. Awesome achievement.

This thread is the best after we open the round with a mighty victory.

Most if not all of our competitors have games they should win.

Not a time to slip up in the West

Cats v Dogs and Tigers v Lions are perhaps the close ones.

Wouldn't it be nice for Port to roll the Pies

I reckon the Port will roll the pies. They are asking for a team to give them a good ol spanking. The question is how will they respond the following week...which is us. 

Going by the Doggies performance, id expect them to challenge the Cats ball movement, but you just cannot see how they hold up defensively. If the game goes to a shoot out, then it maybe close. But given its Duckwood's 350th you can just see the AFL giving him a few cheapies. 

Don't care about the other games tbh

After last week's disastrous results, we're due one or two non MFC games go our way.

We're ostensibly in the finals if Richmond lose this week, even if we lose tonight.

St Kilda will lose at least once to Geelong, Brisbane or Sydney so there's no way they'll be displacing us from the finals.

Unless you place a massive priority on finishing 1st and winning the minor premiership (and potentially being awarded the Friday Night prelim) rather than finishing second and still having 2 MCG home finals on route to a potential GF, I’m actually hoping Geelong beat the Dogs tonight.

The nauseating over celebration of the Dogs beating us last week is enough to hope Geelong can go some way in ending their season tomorrow.

It’s the Sydney’s, Collingwood's and Brisbane’s that are our main threat for top 2, and they’re the teams we need to lose more so than Geelong who will finish top 2 regardless with their soft finish and strong percentage.

Doggies will be desperate in trying to make finals, so would love them to try and run the Cats off their feet and hit the bodies hard, it will all add up come the end of the year, plus the Cats won’t keep winning forever. 

Would also like to see another Oscar-worthy sook from Bevo.

I'm hoping the Pies get over Port this weekend.
Will make next weeks game huge and we can put the Pies to the sword in front of everyone.

Yep,  vomitous to admit it but Pies winning suits us perfectly. Theyre pretenders who have been gifted a soft H & A fixture. They will be brimming with misplaced confidence. They'll be pre-occupied with us after last nights win. Port might win it. Looking forward to mangling them next week.

Love the commentary combo for this Port vs. Pies match: Howie, Nick Riewoldt, Bucks and Cam Mooney. Very listenable.

Barracking for the Pies? Fox is the Vicco Pride network.

    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
