We need to take the AFL to task for fixturing us in WA and 6 days later in Adelaide and then 5 days after Anzac day playing again all within first 7 rounds. Pretty rough. I didn’t mention Geelong again, like every other year, either.

Awww, I’ve still got your back and always will. 🥰

Anyways, what’s wrong with being a nut-job? Or is it the combination of nut-job and redhead? Asking for a redheaded nut-job of a friend.

Fremantle also travelled to Adelaide twice 2 weeks (also off a 6 day break). We should not be using this an excuse for losing to Essendon.

Just for the record, Fremantle spent the week in Adelaide but I agree travel isn't an excuse.  The club chose to catch the red eye back from Perth, apparently at the players' request.  Maybe next time they rethink that.

Goody’s comments suggest they will rethink it, if it happens again.

I'm surprised the sports science staff thought it was a good idea to catch the red eye knowing there was a flight/game to Adelaide a few days later.  Sometimes they and coaches should do what is best for the club rather than the players. 

While acknowledging players want to get home to families etc I doubt half a day makes a lot of difference in most cases.

Its the Footy season... All decisions and focus ought to be about the game/team.

Melb Perth Melb Ade Melb !!

Not a lot of genius happening there.

Should  not even be a consideration.

We're not there yet when we can't think like a 100% professional outfit.

At first I thought getting back here was the only way to go but Binman made a good case for this idea on the pod last night. It's the 1%ers

Common sense I would have thought.

At the risk of a pile on I don't listen to the game related podcasts.

With 6 days it probably was. 

Nothing wrong with that, we choose what we like for our personal enjoyment.

Life is full of entrees so don't fill up on bread! 🙂

Exactly, it's the 1%ers.  This is something that led to our success in 2021 - I'm listening to a podcast interview with Clayton Oliver back in Dec 2021 right now while working.  Clarry said "I didn't change much, my three big rocks after discussing with Goodwin was to train well, sleep well and eat well.  That's all I've focused on this year"

So the would-be thief would have to pop into Cashies (Cash Converters) to buy a cordless angle grinder that he probs stole the previous day and sold to Cashies. Doesn’t make sense, Daise.

Tell your friend it happens all the time, Daise. Just recently I was walking into Snorbz Woolies at the same time an undesirable was leaving. Right there on the threshold he says, “wanna buy Gillette razor blades?” I said, “No thanks, but dude, what are you doing? At least walk out of the shop and around the corner or something.” He said, “nah, this way I hit up people who haven’t spent their money yet.” Makes a heap of sense to me.

LOL I said to the Woolies girl at the self-serve, “Wow. Did you just see that?” She said, “That’s nothing. He asked ME if I was interested in buying it. 😳

reminds me of a story from years ago

a friend of my son was working casual at myers during xmas break.  he observed this guy come in and pocket a relatively small but expensive item. he then proceded to the closest checkout counter and tried to return it for a refund. (myers had a very liberal return policy in those days)

    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

    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
