Herald Sun today:

BETTING on which club Chris Judd will play for next season has been suspended after an avalanche of money for Melbourne with Darwin Sportsbet.

"The Demons were backed from $9 into $3.50 then into $2 by Saturday so we've shut it down. The money suggests it's a done deal," Hannah said.

Means nothing. Just means there has been a substantial amount put on Melbourne to snag him, bringing the price down so low that any bet would bring back the same amount you'd bet.

Betting prices and odds are dependant on how much money is put on each side; the more on one team, the lower the odds.

It means that heaps of people out there believe that they know the demons are in with a firm chance despite the fact that the HUN and other papers have been saying we arent even in the race. To my mind that suggests there is something to the rumours.

You suspend betting when its no longer viable to continue - too many bets on one horse means that its too likely that horse is gonna win.

Mark my words - we will still be speculating Friday ;(

a lot of good teams just under performed this year for mine...

Has absolutely nothing to do with Collingwood.

They made the top 4 because they are a good side. Poor teams don't finish in the top 4 every 2nd YR as Collingwood have in the last 6 years.

Which good teams underperformed this year?

Melbourne need Judd more than Collingwood needs Judd. If he however wants a realistic shot at a flag, Collingwood will be his choice. Either way, I'm not concerned what club he chooses..

Collingwood Finished well in 2002 (4th) and 2003( 2nd), finished 13th in 2004, 7th in 2005 and 5th in 2006. Top for every second year in your dreams mate. And the team of 2002/03 was quite different to the one we have today.

If we compare that record to Melbourne: 2000: 2nd, 2002: 6th, 2004: 5th, 2005: 7th 2006: 7th. Id say that the record is pretty similar - but have a look at the games and teams we've played in the finals compared to them mate. Tell me they would have beaten the Saints in 2006 the night we did.

They made the top four this year primarily because teams with better lists - Adelaide, Fremantle, Doggies and possibly Saints didnt perform - left it open for teams with fairly poor lists like North, etc to do well - think its a great thing, but lets be realistic about it.

Melbourne needs Judd more than Collingwood? Another blanket statement, but I wouldnt agree at all. When we actually have a midfield that's playing and not injured its beaten Collingwood more times than not in the last few years - If Moloney gets over his pubis and threatens to play as well as Scotty Thompson would be now for us, combined with McClean, Junior and travo (assuming he isnt traded) and Brucey in there as well - I know where my money would be.

Having been a member and watched the Dees play at least 11 times in the last four years every season, and having a wife who loves the pies - I know which team I rate and I certainly wouldnt get carried away with Collngwood being far ahead of the Demons because we had one bad season.

Now Clements out, if could only get a forward line that worked as well as Didak Medhurst we'd be laughing.

Cry?

Haha, Mate, I am happy.

Now we have seen what kind of person Judd really is, I am stoked he isnt going to be a Demon

He deserves Carlton or COllingwood. A match made in heaven

Just like Buckley moving to the Pies to win premierships. Brisbane 3, Collingwood 0.

I also prefer he go to Collingwood. Where better to get a good education on how to lose Grand Finals?

It is disappointing, but we'll move on.

nope. just change my avatar and Life goes on.

Pick up 2-3 quality kids in the draft and watch the likes of Bate, Dunn, Newton, Bartram, Petterd, Jones, Mclean, Sylvia, Bell, Rivers, Moloney, Davey, Frawley all develop.

I got an sms, and I just dropped...

I didn't notice it, but all my mates at uni kept coming up and asking what was wrong - I must have looked like someone died!

I'll get over it soon, but I'm still not particularly impressed at this stage.

    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

    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.
