Paxy in, yay. Aside from missing Fitzsimmons I don’t think we could get any stronger

    Agree, though I wouldn't mind Colvin getting a go at some point. Tough team to break into.

    Good call, I had forgotten about Colvin. It will be interesting to see how A. Mackin progresses too. Could be a wild card for later in the season

    Same.  I prefer Colvin to Birch

    Where do the players that miss get match practice?

    I'm really interested to see Mackin but how does she learn the game?

    • Demonland changed the title to AFLW: Rd 03 vs Western Bulldogs

    Looking to continue a great start to the season.  The team looks fit and well drilled and a strong group together, which is expected from a team that didn't lose anyone to other teams.

    Looking forward to watching the game, let's see if we can break 100 at Casey this season.

    When the ALFW round preview has you tipped as 50 point winners, something is up.

    Basically they are saying that our winning margin will be more than what six teams have even managed to score in total for the first two rounds.

    North currently have a better percentage than us because they've almost entirely prevented anyone from scoring against them, but that doesn't change the fact that we have given away the third fewest points against us while also scoring 50% more than any other team.

    I think we're in with a chance, here.

    But look who North have played, makes such a big difference for percentage.  We have a great percentage considering who we played in the first 2 rounds.

    Pretty sure that if we win this game, Melbourne gains the record for the longest AFLW winning streak, surpassing Fremantle's 11-game streak during 2020-2021.

    Melbourne's Casey win-loss record: 21-5
    WB's Casey win-loss record: 0-1
    Melbourne's win-loss record against WB: 5-2 (9-4 including pre-AFLW) Last time they met in R7 2022B, it was a 64-point win to Melbourne
    WB's 2023 formline: The Bulldogs have started the season 0-2 and are coming off a 7-point loss to Hawthorn

    I'm looking forward to watching the girls play as well. I love how they go about it. Joy to watch.

    I love Maxy and the boys as well but watching them play is draining. It's almost suffocating. 

    I think we'll win big again today. The doggies have really fallen away the last year or 2.

    Dees by 30+ points

    Just arrived here to the eerie silence, as Bannan being helped off in rather a knee-like manner...

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
