RIVERS!!! :(

It looked nasty on TV, but lets hope he's ok.

My heart actually stopped as soon as he flew for that mark. His courage is killing me... and him.

Milsy is a gun. Who says he can't kick! ;)

Well done to our midfield, and especially to Bartram for doing a stellar job on Kerr.

PJ actually doing ok, especially around the ground. Hopefully that means we can keep Stef out of the ruck. We do not need anymore injuries.

Chip has an adductor strain apparently.

We really shouldn't win this one... but COME ON DEES!!!!

Jones looks great, he looks so much quicker and skills are getting better and better.

Bennel looks sensational.

Almost feel sorry for sylvia, three times was in the clear yet mclean kicks it at his toes then bruce puts one on his head..

PJ is doing really well on cox. Has good hands for a big bloke.

Will be tough to win with 2 blokes down!!

I think Bruce has run out of 'bank credits', he is a liability. He is a damaging player, he damages us.

Don't want to turn it into a Bruce bash though, he is great lalala *fingers in ears*

McLean does so well to get the ball, and find space, and half the time his kicks are brilliant (like the 60m pass to Miller's chest), and sometimes his kicks don't connect properly. Is he getting injections in his ankle which are making his lose some sensation in the foot? It just doesn't seem to make sense that his disposal gravitates between horrible and brilliant.

Jack Grimes has done some great things.

Loved him standing tall against two Eagles in the backline and winning the free, and his disposal has been spot on.

Hasn't gotten a huge amount of ball, but looks the goods in just his second game.

For those people who are hoping we dont win (I presume to keep our win rate down) - why the hell shouldnt we win?? If the boys do get over the line, wouldnt it be a HUGE boost to the young fellas in the team?

Winning culture is what we need to start developing with this young side - not "oh well, we got close"

WOuldn't be hard with his recent form but i don't think he is having a great game. Still not sure he deserves a game next week.

Robbo and petterd need to lift..

Robbo is keeping Glass out of the action, and leaving Miller to play on a lesser defender. That's already a big win for us.

I'd like to hear more about Grimes... Also, I forgot Robbo was playing. Has he been on? Who's on him?

It sounded in the first quarter like Bruce was our best... made a couple of errors, and also, according to SEN, had a couple of very strong passages of play. As I'm listening he's won a free and is putting us forward again.

People who get on his back need to take a short walk...

bonus for us - Kerr not to come back on!

Offsets the Rivers absence. But not the Frawley one...

I'm going to pick it now... It's a draw.

By the end of round 22, we'll have won 4 and a half games...

    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
