nothing surprising.

You just don't have blokes like mclean, yze on the emergency.

Yze better get some kicks as i traded him from embley only for him to be a late withdrawal.

You can expect a good percentage of them to be "off-the-ground jobs", especially if it gets damper. I mean you wouldn't want to get your glove wet would you. I can see it now. Blokes like Newton who tend to take the ball with one grab can still mark in wet conditions and for mine he would have yet been a valid inclusion.

I'm going to see Sandy, Sunday anyway.

I like Yze - but not as a replacement for Neitz

I understand the "Its going to be wet, use less talls" approach

but its not that wet out there, for a Melbourne Friday night in winter

and our forward line is already short - Robbo will be the only tall - and i wouldn't even call him that

ok lets say its not a rumour... :P

Come on, spill... who do you know? <_< ;)

Nothing surprising though. Hopefully Yze has a good game and we get to see Juice soon.

Oh and BROCKY FOR CAPTAIN. That is the new bandwagon I'm driving tonight.

Which one of those 5 kicks would he have used?

He has nothing to smirk about (apart from the easy money).

Yeah, I know about the groin.

"Going to see Sandy Sunday" - hope to hell that ND gets off his ass and goes for a Captain Cook too - may actually learn something, like MICHEAL Newton's name- ND ref p 43 MFC 2007 Almanac.

" Yeah, I know about the groin." Did ND know about the groin??? If so why did he play him - if not, why not???

The groin is alleged to have failed somewhat toward the end of the game. It's a good story any way. Yze was able to pass a fitness test but you'd be tempted to think that it may have only been just stringent enough for him to pass fit for selection.

If an injury can pass an injury test, it should pass a game otherwise the test its gone through is crap and I don't care what level the test has been done at. If a person passes a medical and breaks down down, I blame the medical staff - no excuses

i doubt he even had a fitness test. he has OP. of course he can run and kick but it causes a lot of pain. when uoi havnt used it all day and they say run here jump high, kick this it would feel a bit sore but manageable. when you start running at full intensity in a footy match it wuld degenerate pretty quickly. if hedidnt play for melb last night he wouldnt of played for sandy, he wouldve rested. he shouldnt have played, and if he isnt over the groin problem by the end of the year he should do the right thing and retire.

    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
