With a few likely to com back in the team, who will Riley drop?

I don't think Jace Bode will play again to honest. Frawley is injured. Will Ferguson have a legitimate opponent? maybe

he'll play on Rocca so Dutchy can stay fwd? no i doubt it. I don't think Bruce will play, he was out for two weeks it said last week, no point in risking a hamstring.

ins

McLean, Bate, Buckley

out

Frawley(inj), Bode, one of Sylvia/Ferguson/Moloney

Buckley comes back after supposedly being BOG for sandy. McLean and Bate back from injury. Sylvia has been average and needs a run at sandy to get his confidence up.

Match ups

Holland-Rocca

Carroll-Cloke

Bell-Medhurst

Davis-Buckley

McDonald-Burns

Dunn-Lockyer

Nietz-Pretsi

Newton-Wakelin

O'brian/Clement-Robbo

Brown/Shaw

I think they will be the matchups. I think they will attempt to use Brown as a negative tagger on H Shaw. Whether Carroll gets Cloke or Bell gets Cloke we don't know. I think they'll try to play Ferguson fwd assuming he stays in the team. Bell will murder Medhurst and i think it would be good for Buckley top[lay on Davis. The rest are pretty standard matchups, Dunn and Macca to tag and we know the fwd line drill. Hopefully Robbo can snag a few as he usually struggles against and obrien/clement type.

Demons by 6 points!!!

Mine,

B: Bell Holland Brown

HB: Wheatley Carroll Bruce

C: Johnstone McDonald Green

HF: Bate Newton Pickett

F: Davey Neitz Robertson

Foll: White McLean Jones

Int: Jamar, Dunn, Ferguson, Maloney.

This side would smack the Pies.

Only problem is Robertson will have Clement to worry about this time.

If you remember earlier in the year, Robbo kicked 7 in Clement's absence.

Perhaps it's time for Bate, Newton, Davey, or Neitz to do some major damage on the scoreboard.

GO DEES!

What will decide match ups is where Holland walks to at the start of game.

If Holland walks forward.

Neitz vs. Clement

Holland vs. Presti

Robbo vs. O'Brien

Rocca vs. Carrol

Cloke vs. Frawley (if he comes up) or Fergie.

Medhurst vs. Bell

If Holland walks back.

Neitz vs. Presti

Robbo vs. O'brien

Clement causing havoc as more of a loose man.

Rocca vs. Holland

Cloke vs. Carrol

Medhurst (still gonna get his arse kicked) vs. Bell

Clement won't play on Neitz.

Clement will pick up Robertson either way.

Remember, Robertson kicked 7 last time we played the pies.

They will want to shut him down early. And with Clement glued to him, Robbo will have a very quite game I would have thought.

Clement runs team crazy O'brien is there main defender on Robbo. He started on him last time around but got hurt opening minutes.

O'brien gets the biggest job each week. Clement chops off the play. That is why Clement has high possesion and O'brien stops the man. O'brien plays the premier defensive role. Not Clement. O'brien will be on Robbo. Presti is most likely for Neitz. But O'Brien will be on Robbo. I'll see you in the MCC bar bwell and if im right. Your shout.

Clement didn't play against us last time.

O'Brien may very well play on him but if Robbo gets on top of him, Clement will be a sure thing.

MCC bar? Mate, I don't even know you & no I don't give me number out to guys in forums - FREEEEEK!

Forward or backward there are only a handful of options anyway. People who think Ferguson can match up on Rocca are crazy. And you're all forgetting their other tall matchup need for Newton.

If we are going to win the game, it will be because our midfield will beat their same old ploddy one.

No question about it.

Well said Maurie!

As bWell said. Clement wasn't playing last time.

In past years, Clement has played on Robertson - and done well.

With their future superstar Pendlebury out and Swan carrying an injury, we will win the midfield easily.

Scott Burns can't carry them forever.

Indeed.

At best, Ferguson can play on Josh Fraser.

Ch.10 said that Didak will be back, and they will decide tomorrow if Buckley comes back through Williamstown or straight back into the seniors. I'd hate for that FIGJAM to steal the limelight away from Neita! <_<

    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
