Sadly, I think so.

Lack of success has damaged many a supporter, and the "accepting mediocrity blah blah" mob are so scarred that they can't enjoy any small steps forward we take.

Too bad for them.

Yeah, the 'show me the baby' crowd.

I'm enjoying the pregnancy...

Jack impressed me 5 minutes after drafting him,when he asked if there was anything he could do to attain sponsors.Have just loved following him evolving as a footballer since.Especially to the detriment of all the nay sayers.

His modesty in todays press,re his recent form, just highlights his quality.Other teams supporters already hate him,a magnificent sign,if ever I saw one.

I will sit watching him with a contentment only a star provides.

Maybe the only positive thing I took from tonight's horror is that Jack Watts is an absolute rolls royce. I watched from Level 3 and the thing that stood out was his decision making, he gets the ball and you know he will do something good with it.

He's going to be amazing at his peak.

Really like when jack intercepted the handball off the port players...from memory the commentator (i think darcy) said he won that ball because of work rate...I don't remember seeing those kinds of things in his first two years.

he didn't have a big impact on the game but he didn't disgrace himself either.

Jack is often lauded as having an enormous workrate.

Surely he is allowed the odd poor game.

I have not been a big fan but he has been one of the bright lights this year.

his game on saturday was ok with me.

I hope someone gives him a razor

Wouldn't want him turning into another Travis 'Rasputin' Johnstone

I was thinking the same thing DC

It is really worrying me!

Are we beginning to think the same?

For your sake I hope not.

I understand what you're saying egd but he doesn't need to look like Trapper. 5'O'Clock shadow and flatten a few opposition defenders should help shed any private school silver spoon image.

I think part of the "problem" is that when we beat teams, our system makes it look like the other team is having a shocking day and not trying.

Much like Collingwood and West Coast did to us.

As tends to be the case when one team thrashed another.

When we get it right, we really get it right.

I think your right,,, But I think it's 50/50... that is when another team around our ability starts a bit off their game, we get moving with our game style & the opposition can't stop us. Confidence of a young side.

But if were playing a top 4 side, well they're a bit different, and they can slow us down & reel us in.... Physical size & experience X confidence, + depth of talent.

True, I was using a little hyperbole to make a point

Personally I didn't think it suited him and that's coming from someone with a bit of facial hair

Couple of days growth max should be enough to 'roughen' him

Your mileage may vary of course..........

    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
