Big call to suggest we're tanking when we're actually in front at quarter time. What does that say about our opposition?

Exactly.

I was talking more about matchups, a lack of any kind of attacking options, all defence, defence, defence, but no scoring.

And just because I say we're tanking doesn't mean it'll work!

There's nothing in this. If the Toigs were up by 5 goals going into the last 10 minutes I STILL wouldn't be confident.

Newton.....This bloke amazes me. He finally gets a chance to prove himself at AFL level and he just looks disinterested, slow and lazy. PICK THE F'ING BALL UP WITH YOUR HANDS....

You would think you would try to show you have work rate and potential to be a key forward to your coach.

Ummm Richmond is the worst team I have ever seen. We are losing because we're tanking, they are barely winning because they are [censored]. We could easily beat them if we tried, but we're not and the matchups are a joke.

Possibly the most depressing game I've been to, mainly because we are a big chance of winning despite having our D grade side out there.

I know most here are pro tanking but the way this season is going is testing my loyalty.

If you teach the defenders to go up three at a time can you then unteach that?

I am ashamed & embarrassed. This tanking thing might just misfire.

On SEN people are texting in saying they're leaving because it's so bad.

I worry about our next 2 weeks though. Even if we're lucky enough to stay on 12 points, having Sylvia come back in against Freo AND NM will cause us issues.

This is the Scully cup for us, in a big way.

Quote from 774 about Paul Johnson after he got outmarked and gave away a free "He's become a liability out there...."

it is an absolute indictment that we have to put martin the ruck ahead of him to give spencer a rest.

I'm having to rely solely on the live statistics for any information.

Valenti looks to be getting a fair bit of the ball, how is he going?

getting some of it, but kicking and decision making is mediocre to say the best. has a crack unlike some others

this bloke infuriates me. we are generally a crap side so the odd crap kick or crap handball im used to but his efforts are putrid. the sooner we rid ourselves of him the better

Dan did you know you can watch game live on bigpond/afl.com if you're in US, Canada or Europe.

This game is a joke. A VFL team would be beating either team by 6 goals

Not if you're on a MAC BBP... The AFL still in the dark ages.

We're in trouble of winning this. Really in trouble.

McDonald playing a great game so far.

If we win this, it won't be Bailey and the coaching staffs fault, they are doing everything within their power to lose it. Richmond are truly awful, we at least have an excuse.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the tiges lose every game, including this one, they are on 18 points, ie LESS THAN 20. That would give them an extra pick at the end of the first draft round? No?

Myabe they are tanking too?

I think it's actually 16.5 points. Richmond's draw with North has them over.

    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
