happy with frawley, disappointed with no bate and garland. Bailey must really be seeing what they have to offer before deciding, which is fair enough, but will make for frustrating viewing

Any one remember George Lake?

George Lakes actually was at South Melbourne when i was playing for their U19,s in 1972 under Coach Neil Compton (our 1964 last goal hero)

He was number 9 at melbourne and played over 50 games

Lots of players only played once

I saw footage on the Herald sun page yesterday where the players where training at the MCG and Neitz wasn't training, I wonder if he is doubtful that would explain the three talls that have been included.

Frawley has to play and play for the rest of the year the sooner we can get 50 games into him the better he will be, has to play KPD though

that will be correct... not sure why moloney can't get a game, however I think CJ did enough last week to earn another run... he found the footy, which has been his problem in the past... his skills are there, they will improve...

want to drop a midfielder, how about everyone's love child bartram, he's been horrible so far this season... needs to go back to the 2's and find some form...

We look good on paper. Especially with Miller and Chris Johnson gone.. hallelujah!

And Moloney back will give us a boost

i hope that Frawley starts on the ground in a key defensive post, with a job to do. Lets see that hes made of.

Frawley could probably take Brad Fisher.

Fisher: 192cm 86kg

Frawley: 193cm 88kg

Both have reasonable foot speed, so it could be a really good match-up for him.

Moloney is still struggling with injury. He wasn't dropped after Rd.1, they rested him. Some have short memories to 2005, but it's 2008 and maybe he won't have the same impact.

All things being equal, I give Moloney plenty of time because of his drive, his contested footy, and his love of the club.

i would like to see us play our good KPD on the 2nd line carlton forwards. in effect, let fev do what he wants. let rivers playt rue CHF where he is best, no matter who plays their. riv will drop back and cut a couple off but still if fev kicks 10 and no one else gets any we will be in a good position. similarly i think it would be worth tagging midfielders OTHER than judd. do you think we can stop judd anyway? so lets restrict stevens and co and force judd to do it all on his own. tell brock to line up on judd and to focus on getting his own ball, hopefully brock can get enough going the other way to make judd slightly accountable.

they have judd and fevola, no one else is a real danger in the sense that we couldnt stop them, so lets cut off their support so we can focus on working with the ball.

    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
