Two Bites at the Cherry

Recommended Posts

Well as we savour the gloriously aromatic air of a win our eyes will soom turn to Monday week and a meet with the Filth !!

for the first time in ...well cant remember....we will actually meet with this vermin twice in a year.

Like it or not they...that supposed rabble of wobblies are actually one of the better teams taking to the turf this season. Yesterdays success whilst glorious , to me, isnt really a true indication of whther we are suddenly remembering what to do as much as the collision of many factors. The Crows simply Dissed us to begin Im sure, then hit by injuries they had limited abiloity to retort. BUT they nearly did.

There is probably no match on anyones calender that you look forward to quite as much as Dees / Pies game. Micky Mouse will have been watching the tapes and checkig his list and checking it twice.

I have thought all year that irrespective of form that this ought to be a cracker of a game. Some good matchups and for mine more importantly no glaring mismatches. If nothing much more should come of this season a win on QB wil be some consolation. Then later...we can do it all over agian :lol:

roll on QB..

go Dees

The only thing better than beating Collingwood once...beating them twice!

Collingwood has the form so we will be underdogs for the first time in a few years but I reckon we will be capable of giving them more than a few headaches with the team and effort we had yesterday.

Adelaide were missing - Biglands, Bode, Burton, Hentschel, (and Reilly and Perrie during the game)

We were missing - Bartram, Whelan, Rivers, Pickett, Moloney, Yze, Miller (not sure if that puts us at a disadvantage tho)

Adelaide weren't missing many and we are still missing some - it was a pretty good win. The only reason Adelaide even got close was because we were so scared of losing and went into our shells.

Freo are terrible this year. Collingwood's other wins have been against Kang (very lucky), Rich, Ess, Adel (AAMI), Carl and Bris. They are beating the sides they should beat, but nothing particularly outstanding. Losses to WB, WCE, Port.

I'm quietly confident. Especially if we get Whelan and Yze back.

unless we play at 100% we will get smashed, we need to play one on one and pressure them all over the ground, when freo played off them the pies dominated but when freo played close the game got closer, we have to play hard intense football

Two bites of the cherry...................yum yum. :lol:

It should be a good game but I think we will have the advantage because Buckley he will 'twang' his hammy again in the LAST game of his career and Clement might not be back to push Robbo in the back all day again? :lol:

My mate is a hardcore Pies fan that loves his footy

He is obviously ecstatic that the Pies are 7-3, but he told me that as soon as the opposition matches Collingwoods attack on the ball they will go down

So if we hit the ball hard and tackle like maniacs I think we should get up

geez i sure hope he does. i for one have never seen our backline play any better i reckon, and so with our premier small defender back into the team for the second biggest game of the home and away season, i'd love to see us shut them down completely. bell and he on didak and davis, yum!

Massive game, we aren't going anywhere this season but I'd love nothing more than to beat Collingwood (Twice).

Just as a question of interest, I was told BT on MMM made some comments that weren't taken too well by some Melbourne supporters (They were the ones who told me) after the game, not quite sure what they were about but if it was to do with the game this week I'd love to smash the Pies and rub it in that fat ****s face, he has always had bias against us (I'd love to smash Collingwood no matter what the situation).

frawley needs game time and was bloody good on the weekend, nothing would help him more than showing the same attack on such a big stage. whelan would play essentially ward's role, but tighter and better. therefore ward for whelan seems a direct swap

Read Jaded's post "I am f******* Melbourne". BT said that the MFC is pissweak, the Melbourne supporters are pissweak and the club has a culture where failure is accepted. Game up with all the original quotes about us heading to the snow in our 4wd, blah blah blah..... What a [censored]!!!!!!!!

    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
