Looking pretty impressive right now.

Nearly 5 goals up near the end of the first half.

Mr Morton, care to make a call on this one?

For mine... I have no confidence.

I have faith that Worsfold will be able to tank his way out of this lead. Unfortunately.

They'll try their best to tank, but it's going to be hard given how many top players Essendon are missing.

Still, after watching Richmond today, there is no way they are losing to them at home in Round 22. Tanking or no tanking.

If we nearly beat Richmond on a neutral ground while pulling the biggest tank tactics of all time, West Coast will surely beat them. Surely!

If West Coast win, we will certainly get Scully unless we go past the 16.5 mark. If that happens, pick 1 goes to the team on the bottom, which could be Freo. So it's not a certainty, but if West Coast win it helps.

GO WEST COAST! Get there!!!

oh, I can't believe this is happening... I tipped them but it was more out of desperate hope...

We can now comfortably beat Freo and then relax for the following weeks (although I'll never trust Carlton)

THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF THE DEMONS' SEASON FOR ME.

Justification.

What a massive step towards picks 1 and 2 today was. I can't believe West Coast actually got up - I was convinced they'd go winless for the rest of the year. If Freo can somehow find a win at home in the next four weeks then 1 and 2 should be ours. Bring on the end of this rubbish.

You guys forgetting the Eagles played in 2 GF,s not long ago

Their current side has quite a few premiership players still

Both Port and WCE IMO are playing below their capabilities

Both are quite capable of beating the Cats

A weird week end for sure - tipped 7 (Hawks let me down) but the Weagles was a left field one to make up some tips on the leaders and they have delivered us the goods - well and trully. Still feel hollow from this afternoon.

What a great day for the MFC

I am not sure it is a great day. The cost to Melbourne may be greater than the benefits of the priority picks. I wounder how many kids and sponsors lost faith in the club today. I have watched Melbourne lose many games by big margins but this was the worst loss for me. Maybe in 2 years I will think differently but I felt ashamed that I applauded Richmond today.

I don't know you & I have no intention of trying to be insulting.

But your profile name suggests to me,que sara sara, what ever will be will be.

Is it possible that you don't feel as pained by our perpetually losing sides decades upon decades?

Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to grow a power MFC dynasty?

Do you Really care if the side gets to 7th,,, Or top 2??

I think these are the questions that may separate some of us supporters, just what it will take for all of us to feel a sense of achievement from a lifetime of supporting the DEES.

Rubbish, any negative attitudes resulting from losing a couple of emaningless games this year will pale into insignificance next year when we start playing our kids regularly and start winning. Watts, Jurrah, Grimes, Blease, Strauss, Morton, Scully and whomever we decide to take with our 2nd pick with generate so much excitement in years to come this small amount of pain will be worth it.

Have faith, believe in Bailey and the club, he's leading us in the right direction.

Gee - what assumptions based on my profile name. The name I chose is purely because that is what I have heard in my 40 years of supporting the club. I have never seen a premiership and it pains me. However, what hurts me more is the look of my son's face when he saw me and other supporters cheering Richmond. As I said, I understand why we did it. I wrote about it in another thread. We had a chance today for Bailey to say "you know what - we will benefit by losing but I don't care. This club is about winning". Travis Johnstone was a number one pick and if we did today to pick up a player like him - I will be even sadder. I support the club in every way - I go interstate, I go to preseason games and I go every week. I want a winning culture - what happened today in my humble opinion does not create a winning culture. Would you do what John Elliott did at Carlton to create a dynasty or do you have greater integrity? I know I do and today we lost integrity. I blame the AFL for tempting Melbourne with a bad apple and the powers that be at Melbourne for taking it.

Wow. That's two from two for you...

Listen, I'm off down the TAB t make some bets, do you have anything to say about next weekends match? I'll cut you in?

People are saying it's a big day for MFC, but it's not done yet. We may now be in the box seat, but there's 4 games left, and strange things happen in footy.

Dean is going to cop it in the papers tomorrow.

    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
