In: Dunn, Whelan, Bate, Rivers, Sylvia, Holland

Out: Weetra, Garland, Buckley, Yze, Miller, ??? (one more, I can't decide but Whelan prob. won't play)

Put money on us next week. Our odds will be astronomical but after the high that Footscray had last week I reckon we will bring them back down to earth.

Why Buckley?

I thought he was great with limited opportunity, he provided the little run that was shown through the day. I would be peeved if he got the boot.

I feel as though we will be just as disappointing as this past week. I have no expectations. I'll be there, but the only people whose expectations matter are the players themselves.

Why Buckley ..why Weetra ? Buckley is still raw..but was trying.. Weetra one of the few al lday to read the ball and effect any spoils or turnovers.. sure he stuffed a few thigs up..but given the day..I'll forgive him them !!

My optimism for my club says we will win, reality should be a cold thing to face on Saturday.

However hopefully we get some players back!!

More likely this though.

In: Dunn, Rivers, Bartram (hopefully) and Sylvia.

(also maybe Frawley)

Out: Weetra, Garland, Wheatley (barely got on) and Miller.

Would like to see Holland come in, maybe Frawley. Yze should have a few weeks at sandy to think about it, as should Davey.

Would like to see Meesen play!!!

Hope our 22 is this, noting I don't think Bate or Whelan will be ready.

Bell Carroll Frawley/Holland

Bruce Rivers Bartram

Sylvia Mclean Moloney

Green Newton Dunn

Robbo Neitz Davey

White Jones Mcdonald

Inter: Buckley, Johnson, Morton, Frawley/Holland

I think some have yet to take on board the idea we are in for a lot of pain this season. There is no point bringing in older players at the expense of getting more games in some of the newbies.

You want Weetra and Bucks to develop...leave them on..their only crime was being raw...not of 'not' trying. !! if they show they dont loook like having "IT"...then replace them.

I couldnt care less if we lose every game this year now.. I will however be truly [censored] off if we have tried to win a handful of meaningless games at he expense of bringing some on.

You also need to be guarded agaisnt makig wholsael changes wek in week out.. as you break what litel tangible harmony may exist. The boys need to get used to playing with each other.

Only those that are truly fit ought get a look in. Otherwise let the shameful buggers make their own restituion!!

We have the MCG advantage over them...

Who plays on Brad Johnson?

You would think Bell would be a good match up wouldn't you?

Or Wheels would be nice

1. Bulldogs do not have a power forward. Yes Welsh and Johnson have kicked our a% throughout time but we have the men to man up on them.

2. Neitz and Newton will not play as bad as they did last week.

3. Bruce, McLean, Sylvia and Jones will be better for the run.

4. Davey will play in the forward line.

5. Sylvia is our new enforcer. He has to be in the middle of the ground, smashing West and Co.

6. Harris is a great spoiler but I would argue Shite under pressure. He will make a lot of spoils which is why Davey and Maric need to be at his feet.

7. Minson is shite. White will kick his arse.

I seriously believe we have to not worry about winning for a while. We have to change the culture at this club. That has to start by dropping the senior blokes who let us down, and the kids who aren't up to it and not letting them back in until they have earnt it. Give anyone a run, I don't care, just don't let blokes continue to get selected when they are not having a crack and/or are not up to it. Just dropping Yze and Weetra etc is not enough. The axe must be swung, and we will continue to be belted, but even by the end of this season we would have noticed a change in the way players are going about it when selected.

I would be happy to see a number of White, Yze, Miller, Carroll, Davey, Bruce, Wheatley and Robbo dropped and also Petterd, Bell, Garland, Buckley and Newton

Obviously that's 13 and too many but I want to see 7 or 8 of them gone

We are obviously not going to win the flag so who gives a rat's about the 4 points this week? Short term pain long term gain

Good move, drop our only really quick, defensive forward and freakish goalkicker after one average game.

He did not want a bar of it on Sunday, you could see it - that should be grounds for dismissal for any player at any club at any time

Ok delist Davey now. Did you see the Essendon game? Do you know what destroyed the Roos, the pace of their Aboriginal players. Yes, lets dump our good one.

Not really. Try Sportsbet (Darwin) @ $2.95 and Ozbet (WA) @ $3.00. I for one shan't be tempted.

    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
