Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Off today and watching, really disappointing. The Hawks were probably always going to win this, such a well coached team with at least the equal MVP QB right now. I know we have injuries but I just can't get past the issues surrounding Jimmy G right now. Yes he's struggled with his own injury problems and who knows how much this high ankle sprain is affecting him but I think it's more than that, the guy misses simple reads far too often. Even in the wins we've had this year it seems to come from a Shanahan offense with training wheels on it. Not always a bad thing, can work for the Andy Daltons and the Ryan Tannehills of this world, but we're paying ridiculous money for a guy to make dink throws and hand off. It's also exhausting having the heart in mouth all the time when he just won't throw it away, he gets crunched badly at least twice a game. 

I know we won't get much sympathy nor should we but geez it's hard to see a team more all over the map in the last decade than ours.

2 Points on offer this week ... and another scoreless result in week 8!

The Packers @ 49ers game is still earmarked to be played tomorrow but it might be postponed.  Either way, we'll count the game in whenever it gets played

As you all know, I hate the niners.

Now it is all encompassing!!!

Had a 10leg multi on the game and if the niners don’t score that last TD I win $500

Line was under 50.5 points.

You should be loving life right now Gorg we got smoked, but gee wiz 10 legs? Only you could find a way to hate us more! :p 

I've always loved the sly comments from commentators like Buck today saying late in the game "There will be many people round the country watching to see if they can get in the end zone". 

So yeah, that was the weirdest Thurs Night game I think I've seen. Essentially playing a practice squad and getting starched on national television. Packers run game is impressive, it should take them far. 

That's pretty much it, nothing else to say about it.

Yeah I heard that too, once the big play ip the middle and the 53yrd FG that just snuck over I thought I was in trouble. When the sack happened with 50 secs to go I thought I may have been home but the RTP penalty killed any chance other than I hoped you would go for 2 and miss it. But alas not my day

A near miss multi like that just ruins the day! Sort of glad footy is over because I was burning cash on same game multis.

On the 'Get On' racing show last night all the lads were on a same game multi with the Packers featuring but I thought taking the under 50.5 was the only risk. 

Games between the 2 sides can be high scoring. 

Unlucky Gorg, all the same

    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

    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.
