Getting in very early with the next round's edition (and apologies if this should be on the other board - over to you, @Demonland if so) but this in today's Age needed posting:

Adelaide midfielder Eloise Jones, prior to their game against GC on Sunday: 'Our home run is going to be really hard, we've got some really great teams coming up, [including] Brisbane, North Melbourne.'

Something being repressed there, Eloise?

From Thursday, we may have that remarkable clean sheet. The ultimate 'nice headache for the selection committee to have' awaits!

I hope we can still bring our chairs.

We definitely are permitted to bring chairs. That ridiculous no chairs rule was overturned.

Huge game clearly. We need to win this to keep our chances of a Victorian grand final in our own hands. If Adelaide jumps us on the ladder, we no longer control our destiny. Not to say we can't win over there, but it would be nice for local fans to be able to attend (if/when we make it).

I think this is important.

It would be great to see a GF here.

I think we would draw a big crowd if we made it through to a home GF.

I'm riding hard on the 'undefeated record-breaking season' wagon, so for me every game is absolutely crucial!

I'm hugely invested in it. Once I got a taste of the possibility, I've wanted it more and more every time I think about it.

I missed out on last season’s grand final as I simply couldn’t afford to go. To see one live would be amazing. Ikon will be rocking!!! ❤️💙

You may need to go into your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and delete pics that you’ve previously posted but no longer need, thereby restoring your pic allowance. 👍🏽

How bloody good is this?! Only two names on the injury list and both those players are expected to be given the all clear. 🥳

Going to be a great game. 2 best teams going head-to-head. Really looking forward to this one, particularly after the ****show over the last 48 hours.

hopefully Paxy injury not serious.

Harris and Fitzsimon in.

GC omitted 😒 and Paxy out injured 

See club website for details. Wouldn't let me copy the link 

Paxy sustained an injury while at home playing with her dog. They’re saying it was an innocuous action and that it’s not too serious.

I had the same issue but found a workaround that I've already forgotten! I probably do need to clear out my attachments as WCW suggested.

And then a player gets injured (thankfully in a minor way) playing with their dog! Classic mystery injury of the week stuff!

 

Some good ins. Campbell will be back as match-ups requite, I'd imagine. Fitzy gets a good opportunity. Hopefully Harris is fresh and ready.

I just left banner making and geez, how refreshing it was to spend a few hours with other Dees fans without a single word uttered by anyone about the last 48 hours. We talked about this Saturday’s match and future W matches and pretty much all things AFLW. It was so good.

A little background to the game...

Melbourne's win-loss record against Adelaide: 5-4 (After 3 straight losses between the 2021 PF and the 2022A GF, Melbourne beat Adelaide twice in 2022B)
Adelaide's 2023 formline: Adelaide come into Round 6 undefeated, having beaten the currently 5th, 7th, 9th, 14th and 18th-ranked teams (this compares to Melbourne's wins against 6th, 11th, 15th, 17th and 18th)

Average games experience for the selected teams: Melbourne 42.3, Adelaide 35.8.
Players with
61+ games Melb: 5 Adel: 3
41-60 Melb: 8 Adel: 3
21-40 Melb: 6 Adel: 10
1-20 Melb 2 Adel: 5

At season mid-point, having a look at the individual stats leaderboards, Melbourne players aren't prominent but do dominate the avg. score involvements, with 6 of the top 10 being Demons: Hore (9.4), Hanks (7.2), Paxman (6.5), Purcell (6.0), Zanker (5.6) and Harris (5.5). Two Adelaide players feature, Hatchard in second place (7.2) and Marinoff (5.4) rounding out the top 10.

We’ve played Adelaide at Casey on three occasions for two wins and one loss. After Saturday it’ll be 3-1. 😉

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
