Looking at Carlton's outs, this is probably the end of the road for Jason Saddington too. Miller at CHB - I wonder if we'll be seeing more of that next year, or not at all?

it doesnt really make sense to me why buckley and garland arent playing.

once again we have the opportunity to get another senior game into players who will be important in future years, yet Ward and Jamar are selected ahead of them. (Jamar is useless and we have 3ruckman in the team...why?)

Riley shouldnt be surprised he didnt get the job. has refused to make any tough decisions on senior players and has reluctantly played young players.

why cant he take a leaf out of rattens book and just play the youngsters bc they need to be developed. its not about winning anymore riley. ill be glad ull never coach us again u hack

How can we not play Buckley and Garland in this match? Astonishing. Carlton must be laughing.

Watch two or three Blues pull out on Sunday morning.

According to seven news Marc Murphy and Carazzo will both miss...

its laughable really.

Couldn't agree more with you, Scoop.

Perhaps the footy dept think they'll get more valuable experience in a VFL final than a farcical AFL gamewhere both sides want to lose.

On Triple M they said Marc Murphy has tonsilitis

From what i am hearing we are gonna win easily. So far Scotland, Murphy, Carrazzo and Whitnall look to be late withdraws.

heres the plan

we are winning by 10 goals plus with 5 minutes to go, our fans sing the song, everyone cheers

mark riley makes the call, and one of our interchange players walk on to the ground and joins in the play!

head count, our score goes back to zero, we know in our hearts we have won, but we also win the priority pick/no1 pick, carlton miss out too!!!

We should have played Neville, Weetra, Garland and Buckley to in the words of Ratten try our young boys out. Four more senior players like Ward and Jamar could have gone back down to help Sandy and that way every player available is getting game somewhere. I find the selection pathetic considering the situation.

I'm disappointed Buckley isn't playing, but we'll see plenty more of him.

I'm a little surprised we're persevering with two rucks, but I guess they probably want to get game time into both PJ and Jamar.

It didn't work for us last week, I think the plan is that it wont work for us again....

If Richmond beat the Aints does anyone know how much we have to lose by to finish bottom? Melb 75.8% Carl 74.3%

It doesn't matter how much we lose by, if the TIGERS WIN and MELBOURNE LOSE we automatically finnish last. The ladder would be:

14 - Carlton - 5 wins - 17 losses

15 - Richmond - 4 wins - 17 losses - 1 draw

16 - Melbourne - 4 wins - 18 losses

I like it! Now THAT would be the ultimate tank, that would trump anything Carlton threw, or moreso didn't thow at us!

Honestly though, i want Melbourne to absolutely smash em'. We're probably going to win no matter what happens because even if Carlton had their best team out there they would still find a way to lose it, so let's make them remember it.

The only issue is the opposition team must call for the head count........I for some reason would think Carlton would have the sun in their eyes and not be able to see the bare bench and 4 additional bodies running around teh field.

I think it would be hilarious if we fielded an extra player right at the end, it would be right up there with the Chappell underarm bowl. The Blues fans would be livid! All that tanking for nothing...

But if they're going to play it like this, I'd like to annhilate them, it would be pathetic to see us limp over the line against that side.

I remember reading that Melbourne have the highest supporter defections in the AFL, I just wonder how many Carlton have lost over the past 5 years, or the damage this has done to the culture of the club, where losing has become acceptable. They used to be a powerhouse.

    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
