Jones? Green?

Good?!

What have you been smoking?

Green had his best game (bar Adelaide where it took Matty Bate to judge a bad game) this season.

Jones pushed at every contest. Yes, he got smothered a coupla times, but he was always the first to pop up with the pill.

The Good

Mmm

The 1st half

Carlton,s injuries

Hard fought contest early

Some sad looks on a few Carton sorry Carlton supporters faces

Sylvia and Watts

Thinking we had half a chance

The Bad

No forward line

Kicking straight to the opposition

Not starting to play till the ball is in the back 50

The second half

2 many easy goals given away

Umpires who don't know what happened telling goal umpires what happened

Lack of tackling in the forward 50 (or none)

The Ugly

Russell Robinson trying to be a rock star

Jim Stynes trying to keep time and sing (love ya Jim but..)

Losing by 47 points in a low scoring game

Carlton down to 1.5 on the bench and the scoreline differential increasing

Carlton

The Good

Most of the team had a crack

Sylvia. His crash and bash was outstanding. Loved it also when he ran with Garlett the length of the wing and troubled him just enough to make him score only a point.

Jones

Our defensive game in the first half

Jetta got into the game a bit

We would have lost by 15 goals if not for Rivers being 3rd man up all night.

The Bad

Umpires - for both Blues and Dees. How about the soft 50m penalty to Watts. Ridiculous.

Clearances - we were absolutely smashed

Warnock's dropped marks, out-on-the-fulls, indecisiveness

Frawley's fumbling

Kicking into the forward 50

The Ugly

Morton (again)

Petterd (again)

Game plan set up to defend rather than win.

Missed free kick to Jordie when he had his head caved in by 2-3 Blues boys right in front of the umpire but - play on!

Coming back on after half time we did not cheer our boys back onto the ground - Carlton did. Bad form from us. My three kids and I did and it stood out like dogs b..ls.

The game was dead boring.

Certainly not a game you would show to someone that has not seen the game before. Would turn them off quickly.

Took a mate from Nth Qld for his 1st game.....he left at half time. Atrocious game to watch, I`m sure plenty switched off the tv at home before half time too.

Gee we have had some poor Fri nite matches in the last 5 yrs, not a great promotion for our club on prime time

    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.

    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
