Strategy Operation get Melbourne Demons a Premiership

[Johnny Bananas]

Powered by the three young speedsters they picked up on Wednesday, the Demons should be considered favourites to take home the grand old high flying flag.

Still, I reckon Weidemann is a roughy for the Coleman this year. They'll still be in the hunt.

That's okay, the mighty Melbourne FC doesn't need Sideshow Bob to win the flag. They will dominate regardless.

I was very annoyed that they grabbed Trent Rivers one pick before us, and no doubt he will be leading them to the premiership this year.

Star Demon to undergo knee surgery

Not the ideal start to his career with his Demons.

Weideman out 10-12 weeks at demons , stress fracture in leg

 

[jackess]

That hurts (them).

Wonder if Tom MacDonald is one by one taking out his rivals for a key forward position.....

 

[BangyBangy]

Article up.

All good, they'll still win the flag. Go Dees, you've got this.

Another big hit to Dees' forwardline, young key to miss 10-12 weeks

Sam Weideman to miss the early part of the season after scans revealed a stress fracture in his femur

[KissKiss]

Yep all this does is clear the way for the future Coleman forward/ruck Jackson to dominate the comp. Total blessing in disguise

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Nonsense, the adversity of losing key forwards will push the mighty Demons to a new level of courage and self-belief, allowing them to steamroll everyone else on their way to the flag!

Haha Maybe we should hobble a few of their players - the fewer they have available, the better they’ll go. How many outs do they need for the premiership?

Time to put Melksham one out inside forward 50, with Jayden Hunt

This may be old news, but I had no idea Melbourne were signing Majak.

's injury is worse than first reported. I know Weidemann is also injured, but I thought the Dees were right as far as key position players go.

They haven't signed him. He's just training with them at this stage. But I do expect they'll pick him up. They have three available spots on their list.

First come up yesterday.
So not too late.

 

[BangyBangy]

Knocked off Richmond despite not having a forward line.

Flag certainties.

Big Max dominates, fringe forward fires, Dusty finishes early

All the key takeaways from Melbourne's scratch match win over Richmond

[Lazza16]

I reckon Maxy Gawn should setup a coffee van for half time latte's for the boys. Should give them that little energy burst for the second half.

I remember Maxy saying that when he went to the toilet......he could snap one off so cleanly he didn't require any toilet paper. Would have been handy during lockdown. How could you not be impressed with a skipper that mentions that to the media?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

This trifling preseason loss to the Bulldogs just ensures the Demons have their bad luck out of the way early. Their path to the premiership is now clear!

 

[trikster]

The fact that nobody is tipping them to make the 8 will only serve as motivation for them to succeed this year

Are you talking about commentators calling the match today or punters in general?

From what I've seen & paid attention to, a lot of people have them second most likely of the non-finalists last year to make the jump into the 8 (after the Giants).

There's a lot of sabre rattling about Carlton, but that's mainly Carlton fans & the Victorian media.

My take on general consensus would be Giants, Dees, Carlton, Freo (who I actually think are a better chance than Carlton personally).

 

[Hollow Knight]

C'mon Melbourne. You can bounce back. We all believe in you!

 

[irel]

Do not concern yourselves fellow Dees lovers. This is only a friendly practice game and treated as such. Only feigning and trying to lull the competition into a false sense of security. The cabinet for the premiership cup is already built and come October it will display a very shiny cup.

Commentators/media. I don't think I've heard of a single one thinking they will make the 8.

The whole 'Hell & Back' documentary thing last year probably has worked against them. Twice bitten etc.
