I reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?  

The media have hyped the hell out of it. Mostly because they are both AA and neither is a notable forward. I agree, it is not going to be the most significant factor. Based on what I saw against Richmond it is going to be out ball movement. I do think trying to take the 45 kick will open it up for us to use Gawn and Grundy more effectively as outlets.

This is going to be my 5 week old son’s first MFC match. He’s been a member since the day he was born! I hope his lifetime of Dees supporting is more successful than mine.

I have it on good authority that Travis Johnstone will be presenting Bailey Laurie’s debut guernsey tonight.

First child born on Thursday so her indoctrination as a little Demon starts tonight.  Winnie and Daddy will be barracking hard from the couch! Will of course be trying to be on my best behaviour…

Tomlinson won’t be the difference if we win or lose, he’s one part of a team defence. 
Go Demons!!!

If we let Bulldogs in with a few easy goals i dont think our forwards minus Fritsch can kick a winning score.

Geelong kicked over 100 p and still lost comfortably in the end.

Are you suggesting if we let in a few easy goals it will be due to Tomlinson?

Welcome to gameday everyone. You can smell it in the air!

Due to 'Melbourne Air' I cant smell anything.  Sinuses are totally blocked.  Feeels like a pencil rubber up each nostril.

I can still yell Go Dees.

I remember a lot of h8 for Lever as when he was returning from his knee.....lot of knockers. I dont think ppl understand the confidence side of injury rehab. Can take a while.

Disagree. We've all seen what Pickett can do when he's at his best. And 2021 showed that Brown and Tmac can be very damaging when they're both fit.

Not to mention some cameos from the Gawndy factor

This is so true, WWS! This is oftentimes more important than the physical healing. The power of confidence is immeasurable. So it’s also why we all need to get behind Tommo. Give him all the love he deserves and NEEDS.

I've got the same issue. A lot of the time I can't smell anything.

Apart from the sweet smell of victory of course!

I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

Before Tomlinson went down the knee on 2021 he was playing CHB with aplomb!

We know he’s only in the team due to injuries but let’s give the support tonight because trying to contain Naughton is going to take a Herculean effort.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
