It'd be a hell of an effort to get up here.

Which begs the question, do we really deserve to be playing finals? Will we only get smashed week one?

Don't get me wrong, I still want to be there... But I can live with not making it if there's a big effort, like we've seen today.

Reminds me a bit of the Richmond game in reverse. The Hawks just look like they have us at arms length. I reckon the fresh legs might show and they'll run over us in the last quarter.

no chance for 4 points today :( MFC need to beat these sides if they want to play finals next year. in all conditions.

Next year, yes. This year we are still quite immature. The fact that we are in it up to our necks is a credit to the boys.

Back in touch, can't see us pinching it but who knows. Sounds like the umpires are bending us over.

yeah i can see your point there... i guess it is just frustration on my behalf, im not liking the close losses this year. better than the thumpings MFC have received over the last few years.

21 points appears to be a final margin, so does not reflect the day. Sounds like we've been all over them in parts, but we lacked the final bit of class to finish the game. Aaron Davey was a massive loss, being one down for most of the day is bad enough but when you lose your best player it just makes things 20x worse.

The commentators are full of nothing but praise for us, and IMO we shouldn't lose sight of what the aim was this year: improvement and constant competitiveness. Well done to the boys today, and who knows what next week will bring.

AAMI stadium, they way they played today I would think that MFC are a VERY good chance against port.

Very unlucky to lose Davey and find ourselves playing against Hawthorn and four pricks pretending to be umpires. What a disgrace this competition has become. Poor Frawley, who the hell wants to be a defender these days!

Good effort from us to stay in touch. At least we gave them a hard time of it.

Just got home from the game, and people are being harsh on Jack Watts again.

Wasnt his best game, but it has been a very hard day for players of his type.

If i had to put someone on the block it would be Clint Bartram - Yes he gets the ball and is brave but his disposal is not fit for Casey, let alone for the Demons at the MCG.

James McDonald is an amazing player, dont care if he takes a spot on the list for another year if he can be half as good.

James Frawley - Hold your head up, Buddy was given 1 in the 3rd quarter by the umpires. Some players you cant give room, Buddy is one of them.

The rest of the MFC - hard day at the office, there wont be many games where Brad Green gets 11 possies and our skills are that bad.

The Umpires - Ironic how they are sponsored by OPSM. Do they do reviews at half time? They could'nt of today, JASON DUNSTALL said we were hard done by at crucial moments...

All in all great performance, To go down by 21 points, playing 1 man down in the rain is a massive change from round 1. Just shows how far we have come.

From overseas, just caught the scores. Any main reason why we only kicked 1 goal in the last Q?

We had nothing left in the tank being a man down for 3 quarters.

Oh and the umpiring was such a disgrace that they ruined crucial attempts at goal for us.

We can hold our heads high. Everything was against us today and to lose by less than 4 goals is a good effort. We've come such a long way!

Fair call, Those F@#$ing Dawks are really going to cop it from us in the next decade

Geez we owe them Dozens of thrashings.

Was it a good Crowd?

48,000 or so, definitely as many if not more Demons there.

God I hate Hawthorn and their supporters. What a bunch of arrogant, self-righteous [censored]. Can't wait to smash them, and especially the crying princess Franklin and his beer gut.

Looking forward to watching them get ripped to shreds come finals.

Buddy should pursue an acting career - you can see the talent pouring out of him

Ok, yes the umpiring at times was on the verge of them wearinf Hawthorn jumpers but,

To me we were smashed, I mean SMASHED at the clearances and if some one could have stood some where within 5 meters of Sewell at a contest he and mitchel might not have destroyed us and given them first use oh so many times.

that to me, is where the game was lost.

The umpires, especially that moron #30 did not cost us, but did not help.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
