Can you discuss some of the experiments we saw on Sat night?

Did I see Clarry in defensive positions?

Trac as 'resting' forward, Bowey pushed forward (ala Brayshaw 2022).

We seemed to give us a chance to throw all these exotic strategies.

What are your thoughts on JVR 4 games in? Personally I like what I have seen so far, granted he still has room for improvement.

This is a bit of general question not specific to this game, but which of our players do you guys think gets the most out of himself with the least natural footballing talent? (I mean this in a complimentary way!) Thought this might generate some discussion from a different angle. Keep up the great work.

In our losses (and the first half against Richmond) opposition mids seemed to sit outside our mids, waiting for us to get first possession and then scragging/tackling us to cough it up and ultimately lose the clearance. With such prolific ball winners like Oliver, Trac and Viney whose instinct is to get first hands on the footy what can we do to combat that when we come up against the better teams? We dont want to give up front position at the contest but we don't want to be sitting ducks either so how do we maximise the talent we have in the middle? I have no doubt we will see similar tactics used when we come up against the Pies, Saints, Crows and Cats.

We spoke about it last week. Hunter added a new trick to his arsenal this week; the underground kick.

Good pick up!

Nibbler must have our tackle of the season to date with that run down of Luke McDonald in our goal square - it was a thing of beauty.

I want to know whether the boys think that Collingwood's (one point) win was more meritorious than Melbourne's 90 pt effort, whether North should go south, and is there finally a case for Mud Island to have their own team - provided that they can achieve an AFL standard field. More seriously, is the current mis-match of teams going to seriously compromise this year's finals series?

Guys, I'm trying to get my head around our stoppage clearances. We have arguably the two best ruckmen in the game as well as arguably the best midfield yet we are ranked last in stoppage clearance. I feel this is more of a tactical play rather than a flaw with the gameplan. Goody, in my opinion, is more concerned with how we set up post clearance and is comfortable with allowing the opposition to bring extra numbers to the stoppages.

Although Clarry, Trac, Viney, and Sparrow are having fantastic seasons and are contested beasts, their stoppage clearance rankings are significantly lower this season. Clarry was ranked #1 last year and is currently ranked #32 this year. I have also noticed with interest that in the Tigers' premiership years of '20 and '21 they were also ranked last and second last in this metric. What is your take on this?

I'm positive Binman will have an answer to this. @binman, save it for the podcast. 😜

Lovr the fast moving game we are playing as well as the control we are showing under preasure.

Will there be changes to the main squad this week?

Im a little worried about Harmes did not get a lot of time on the field but what i saw he was not quite 100%.

But then played a good game for Casey the next day.

Great poddie guys keep up the great work.

This week on Choco Watch we were once again very accurate in front of the big sticks. Love this from Wheelo Ratings.

Need to get Big Maxxy back in the Academy. He's the only one that is regularly letting us down in front of goals.

As always loving the podcast boys.

I was on Steven May niggle watch again this week. Thought he was moving a little bit better this week but there were a couple times I thought he had trouble bending over. Other than that he was simply superb in the air. Such courageous marking. If there is an issue with his back he certainly won't shirk going back into a contest.

Another quality podcast last week guys.

With Petty and Spargo presumably out of concussion protocols, TMac & BBB another week at Casey under their belts, Melksham kicking a bag of goals who would want to be a selector?

Who's coming in and who's going out?

Loving the question and answer format of the podcast this season. Kudos to all involved.

I'm starting to get the same annoying jibes from workmates that like last year we simply haven't beaten anyone yet and have lost games to our contenders. Are you worried about anything you've seen from the side. Does our game stack up against other teams particularly those of Collingwood and Geelong who look like the sides to beat? Or will we not know until Kings Bday and our annual fun trip down the freeway to Kardinia Park.

I think there is a feeling that we will just rock up and roll the Suns but I think this could be a danger game if we don't come switched on to play. The Suns have taken it right up to a few teams and have fallen away in the last quarter. Miller is a massive out for them but we should not take them too lightly. What do you guys think we need to do to bank the 4 points.

Main comment from me... KOZZY!! 🥳❤💙

Any comments on how we have most of our stars locked into contract and a beautiful premiership window sparkling ahead of us for the next few years?

Love your work, guys!  Missing the live poddy as I'm on the train back to Sydney... but I'll listen tomorrow!

    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
