P.S. What's up with the posters who are trying to turn Jones into Ted Striker? Shirley you can't be serious?

Anyone else out there who had no idea who Ted Striker is? :P

I broke my wrist when I was a kid and it aches in the cold now......

Now that is probably because of the awful medical attention it got, but it still aches nonetheless ;) !!!

Fair enough. Sorry to hear that :P

I'm not sure that's the case with all broken bones though, is it?

If you want to avoid going hard into a contest then you play SOCCER!!

Guess you've never played competitive soccer then. I have played soccer for five years and have had plenty of hard contests where you either go all in or you back out. I have played footy for 15 years as well. I play both games with the same attitude and find that I probably have more "hard contests" in footy, but about the same number of "go or back out" decisions in each. I don't back out in either, and neither do my team mates. In either sport.

Really devo about Greeny. He and Davey were clearly our two best players this season, arguably the only two top-class players we have. Will be a big miss. To sum up Greeny's quality, when he took that mark at the top of the 50, I said to my uncle, 'he'll slot this for sure', and he goes back and drills it. Absolute legend. Really disappointed for him that he will probably not reach the 200-game mark this season now. I would say that there is no chance he will come back before the mid-season break if his injuries are as reported (broken cheek bone, broken jaw). If we can take anything out of it, at least it opens a position for a Maric/Grimes/Valenti-type for an extended run in the side.

This is our biggest injury this year, and even of Rivers were to take a game or two off with injury, it would still be our most telling absence.

I'd say Garland's injury, in terms of hurting our structure and development of the backline, is our most telling (not to mention the possible complications of such a delicate injury, which has ruined the career of another great defender).

Not that Green's loss is not huge either. Both are horrendous losses for a team that could ill afford to lose any class players.

By the way, can we please not mention the name Rivers and injury in the same sentence?! You'll jinx it! 6.5 games and counting... :D

Dappa, I'll own up.

Probably 2005 I could hardly stand him, thought he was a soft outsider who should've stayed in the forwardline. I've been happily proved wrong with him, one of my favourite players whose courage can never be questioned

Brad Green is an example to the whole team. He is a great player. The only one in the first Q who could kick straight. He put his jaw on the line for the MFC

I want him to be captain (no offence Junior but ever since the Qual Final in 2000 Brad has been a "Quiet Gun) I feel he may not be captain as he comes across a little shy off field. But he certainly puts in beyond the call on the Field. Get well soon Greeny. Soft foods for awhile!!

    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.
