Hooray for Rivers (stupid me didn't pick that up on The Footy Show. Glad not every Demonland member is blind ;)).

Very strange that Bell has been named on the bench. He is the perfect match-up for Williams, so not sure what the deal is there.

Bench would probably be Petterd, Bell, Dunn and PJ/Jamar. Mind you, Buckley deserves to play, so perhaps Dunn will miss out, or perhaps a late change with one of Whelan or Bartram not playing.

Miller and Carroll to take on Buddy?

And I would love to see Bartram play a run-with-role on Mitchell. If we shut him down, we are half way there given no Hodge and no Crawf.

Interesting that Green has been named in the forward line and Davey in the midfield.

BRING IT ON! :D

Frawley Carroll Holland

Bartram Miller Whelan

Davey McLean Jones

Moloney Robbo Newton

Green Neitz Yze

White Bruce Junior

I/C Petterd Maric Dunn P Johnson Bell Rivers Buckley Jamar

Pretty 'big' squad so one imagines Frawley, Holland, Jamar won't play and question marks over Bartram, Whelan possibly Maric.

Decent side, albeit on the slow side.

It's not hard and fast but usually the 18 named are fixtures. New coach, so I'm unsure.

I doubt if the coach picked that team

More likely a squad of players were given to channel 9 and they picked the side.

i dont like the line up but i am interested to see what happens

would have liked to have seen buckley in the top four on the I/C if that is anything to go by these days

i dont think marric is ready yet

i think morton should atleast be on the extended bench

i dont like robbo at CHF and Miller at CHB

i dont think Whelan is ready yet going by what i heard on the weekend

IMO, i hope this is just a bit of a quick think up from the club trying to get some sort of line up going to show on the footy show but will change a lot in the next couple of days before the match and surprise the hawks

if not, bailey is the expert and not me, and i hope things work out with whatever he does

More likely you're wrong. The team/squad would have been submitted by MFC.

And Nugget. FFS, don't worry about the named positions.

Yes the MFC picked the squad but not the team....Channel 9 have doing that for years when they do the Wednesday nights footy show for weekend games.

yeah i know mate, but it is still such a bad line up IMO and that's why i said this

i dont think Whelan is ready yet going by what i heard on the weekend

IMO, i hope this is just a bit of a quick think up from the club trying to get some sort of line up going to show on the footy show but will change a lot in the next couple of days before the match and surprise the hawks

we dont know if it was a quick fix or if the club sent in a list of players in the squad

channel 9 just had a go at making that up... there's no way the team will look like that...

only the sides playing tomorrow have had to release any type of official squad, we will name a squad of 25 tomorrow i would think, with the 22 named friday night/saturday morning... i mean they've named whelan on a half back flank, carroll holland frawley and miller all in the one backline? don't think so

Both Foxtel's AFL Teams programme and The Footy Shoe selected make believe teams for their audiences (apart from the ones for tonight's games).

Why do they bother doing these teams on a Wednesday night? Seems like a waste of time.

Hope Bartram and Rivers get up.

I'll be stunned if Whelan plays.

Buckley deserves a round 1 start

wheels! :wub: wow how pumped are we that the season is only 8 and a half hours away, or more to the point a little over three days

very interested to see maric got named in the squad. did he play the last two rounds of pre-season with the dees or sandy? pretty sure he played the last with sandy, so bailey must be pretty impressed with him to see him get at least a mention.

yze gets a go? great to see names like bartram moloney rivers whelan in the team, even if they don't get up this week

GO THE DEES

Stewart Dew was named in a back pocket. That says it all. The named squad is just a taster, a show filler.

Yeah and i prefer it too. How bad would a simple list of players be?

    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
