1. Channel 7's appalling coverage of the footy. Ten is only slightly better, but 7's is just ridiculous. Honestly, why would you finish your coverage without an interview or seeing the team singing the song when the entire thing is about 3 hours delayed anyway. Infuriating.

2. Sunday games. In principal I don't mind these so much as they're normally quieter days. But we have a solid crew going to the footy these days so inevitably I consume way too much beer and end up struggling out of bed for work on Monday. Fair enough this is all entirely my fault but none the less...

3. Players going backwards - Cale Morton, Matty Bate, I'm looking at you. Aren't players supposed to develop as they get older and more experienced, not regress?

Indeed. Especially with kids in tow and school the next day.

My boys are 2 and 1 HT. Only have the 2 year old, occasionally the 1 year old with mum, come to Casey games at the moment to get them involved.

My 2 year old calls every football team the Demons at the moment, which might be nice on GF day as I can use his mind altering tricks to convince myself I am watching Melbourne.

Can't wait to take the 2 year old to the 'G next year if he is up for it, well he wont have much choice but to be up for it, but not looking forward to them falling in love with donut vans before the Dees!!

1. People who slam Cale Morton, for his year. Remember Adam Goodes the year he did his PCL... he was only servicable. Had a full pre-season the next year and came back a superstar. Give Cale a full pre-season and he'll become elite.

2. Players being allowed to throw or drop the ball provided it was an attempted disposal..... the holding the ball rule is a joke.

3. Our first quarters

1. Foul-mouthed supporters - Didn't your mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? You are spoiling it for the rest of us (Yes - YOU)!!!

2. Getting on the Melbourne bandwagon only when we're playing well - We expect our beloved players to be loyal servants that espouse the ideals on which this great club was built and the same should go for supporters! Fair-weather fans go elsewhere...

3. The off-season - 5 days in and I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the long, hard work week without the footy to look forward to on the weekend! I know our boys need some hard-earned rest (especially with all the niggling injuries) but bring on 2011 already!!! :)

    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
