Is there or has there ever been a worse football coverage than Channel 7? I know they have to make a buck but could they possibly organise it so that there is not 100% aggravation for the poor viewer. It's an insult to have to repeatedly suffer intolerable lengthy ad breaks often after only 30 secs of play. Only bearable way to do it is of course record it and ff the ads, and even that is sure to keep your remote finger busy. Made a commitment to never watch the Channel 7 3pm replay "live" ever again.

RESPECT by The Oracle (with a little help from Sam the Stats Man) ... I’m tipping the Western Bulldogs to win this game over a much improved Melbourne but at least the margin of 25 points will be respectable in comparison to the one we saw at the end of that game earlier in the year.

If Morton slots that shot late in the game the result is the Doggies by 25. Close but no ceegar!!!

bell has been quite tight defensively, he always is. his problem hasnt been restricting his man, it has been turning it over when he has had the ball, specifically awareness issues and getting caught with the ball.

That's how I've seen it - less about what his man does, and more about what he does with the ball.

I also agree with you regarding Bode being quite unobtrusive. I think the Sandy coaches report has mentioned working on his counter-attack, so he can take that to AFL level.

Prved to me even more today, he serves no purpose, not one good bit of play, fumbly, indecisive, poor skills!

Not 1 person can say that he did ANYTHING today to warrant his place!

NExt week, out: Bell In: Petterd

Hmmm. There were alot of Predictions that Juice would kick 5-7 goals..............................

One word: Incorrect.

Stewards summary on Newton: Better for the run, Appeared hesitant in the going, dropped a few marks he should of taken. Should of passed to Sylvia on the lead in the 1st quarter but elected to shoot from 50m on the boundary - Result out of Bounds! Sylvia sledged him too. Bad choice. Back to the paddock advised.

Morton to have 21 touches

Wow im good B)

People bagging Bells game today, you realise he played on Brad Johnson for alot of the game, and had him pretty well covered? He certainly wasnt our worst today. Get off his back.

Juice was ok with poor delivery, still got alot of work ahead of him though if he's going to be an AFL footballer.

On a completely unrelated note, did anyone see Trent Cotchins game vs the Eagles? That kid is really special. He will mesmerize people in the future that's for sure! Pity he wasnt around at pick 4 :( Still pretty happy with Morton :)

    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

    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.
