I hope someone knocks out Judd. Thatd what I really want, even more than a win.

I want to see that money hungry [censored] get carried off on a stretcher, to the cheers of Demon fans

We can win, but should we?

If we help Carltank get another Priority pick (they could get poss' picks 1 & 2), I will POSSITIVELY go right off, Fair dinkum, the teams we don't want to help get the cream is Carltank & the Tiges ( who we play twice this year) & the Blue oyster boys once.

The teams I'd like to beat are Freo, Wet toast, & Saints.

Jamar vs. Kruezer- If Jamar doesn't fall on him awkwardly and crush him to death at the first bounce, we're screwed.

He can then do a Barry Hall on Judd and leave the game as "the guy who knocked out Judd" instead of "the guy who got 1 possession a game over 4 seasons".

This is definitely a danger game for the Blubaggers.... without trying too hard they'll probably win and use up one of their games they can win and stil lget a prize !!

They'll be sweating on this one !! :lol:;):rolleyes:;):lol:

please can we win this one to show judd what an awful side he plays for, no matter how much money they throw about. this is the one result i reallly want this year!

btw, listening to the wafl results & votes, natanui wasn't in the best players, got, i think, 16 possessions. the boy rich who plays for subi seems to be considered the best of the WA talent this year.

If i could choose WHICH games melbourne would rop this season, it would be both against Carltank. I cannot sit back and watch them add a 4th number 1 pick into a nice pool of young kids.

I would not mind losing this game, as long as it is not by 20+ points. I do NOT want Calrtank getting the number 1 pick.

In all honesty, I think we COULD win, but I am not sure what our intentions are or Carltanks this season, so anything could happen.

i would rather we play with dignity and actually try to win before its all too late and weve forgotten how to win

its all good to say "lets play the young bloods week in week out and get extra draft picks" but you have to instill a winning culture or they're not gonna be used to winning and knowing how to win...it was like when we played the doggies at TD last year: we were always in the game and with under a minute left, were in front thanks to a great sylvia contested mark...instead of getting numbers in defense with 39 seconds to go, we tried to take risks and the bulldogs got a goal to hit the lead and were then signalled by their captain for almost their entire team to flood back at that stage, something we should have done

anyway, thats a random story but for a lot of of our younger players like morton, who have still not won and are playing every week, their gonna get used to playing in a losing side that is too flat to actually win and are used to just getting by each week and thinking about their own game... they wont know how to play with excitement and flair

what im trying to say is that i desperately hope we can win this one...i really do...for dignity's sake

Not a chance in Hell of us beating the Blues next week

We need to keep playing the kids and get ready for the mother of all Clean Outs at the end of the year.

Not sure its that easy. Holland, Neitz and, I think, White are out of contract, so OK. But Robbo, Green and Bruce are not - Green and Bruce might be trade-able - but not for 1st rnd picks. So who else?

    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.

    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
