Grant Thomas commentating on SEN shows why he has little respect... makes comment on a demons player and forgets his name. Who should it be but the guy that just about single-handedly ended his coaching career a few years ago... Brock.

You'd think that while not expected to know all players at all times, knowing exactly who is playing in the game you are being paid to commentate would be a given......

Apparently and unfortunately not, maybe he could check the numbers in future if he continues to get confused or senile ;) !!!

Yeah, he's only been playing AFL for about 5 years...

Meanwhile, demons accounting for themselves very well with everything except disposal. The only thing separating the sides is kicking into fifty and at goal.

MFC: 0.1 - 1

ADE: 2.3 - 15

Moloney, Brock and Davey among the possession getters. Davey our best apparently, and one of few using it well.

A quick Dermie stat. Crows are up to 20 running bounces, Demons just the one.

Crows getting touches everywhere. Goodwin up to 12, Johncock, Dangerfield, Bock, Edwards, Otten, Vince all 8+... Not good signs.

Is this game as bad as it sounds? Bad skills, good endeavour, hardly any goals... not dull, but a long way from watchable?

And however good our defenders are, our forwards are twice as bad...

Worst game ever!!!

Can't believe I'm freezing to death for this [censored].

Idiotic team selection to into the game with Juice and Bate and then let Adelaide do as they please by playing the most hidious defensive game I have ever seen.

Terrible!

And with that Juice, you are now living on borrowed time. You will not last more than a couple more years as a demon, if that. No player in a growing side does that TWICE and goes on to great things.

For the first time since he took the reigns at the club I'm REALLY disappointed in Dean Bailey. His game plan today has stunk and he actually lied about what he wanted us to do - which was kicking it long and getting it into our forward line quickly - nothing could have been further from the truth with all these stupid handballs!! Plus we went in to the game with 3 tall forwards when it was always going to be a shocker of a day. How Maric continues to miss out is baffling. Our forward line pressure has been non-existant too, although with all the players we are pushing behind the ball it doesn't surprise me.

I'm quite embarrassed by the performance today...

Unless he kicks 5 in the last quarter he will be straight out of the side for Robbo next week... against Geelong. I shudder to think of what they will do to us next week!

    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
