geelong is easily the best of the bunch.

Possibly, But i consider Geelong an interstate club-They get 8 "easy" games at the Cattery with about 30 opposition supporters.

No wonder it is a slaughter house!!!!

Any team that has Mooney or Hawkins in there forward line should not be successful, so i treat them the same as The Filth, Carlscum or Kennettville.

Why were the Hand bags the only club allowed to keep their home ground advantage, and to actually get just as soft a draw as the Filth???

i rate their midfield and defence.

i wish melbourne had kept hold of the mcg for its own purposes and no one else got to play there except when they played us.

collingwood have done everything very well... but i hate them.

hawks fans are almost as bad as bombers fans. totally clueless.

carlton....visy. nuff said.

west coast are horrible, they are tankers and i hate them. injuries my arse.

therefore geelong best of the bunch.

What I learnt from the bye weekend?

I have no interest in footy when Melbourne aren't playing. I am so disinterested in watching other teams it is probably affecting my ability to make proper assessments of where we are at!!

It does appear though that an inconsistent form line is not an affliction exclusive to the MFC.

What you are happy if Carlscum, or Kennett win a flag????

They are all evil alternatives OD....and if Malthouse is poorly treated it could well help our cause.

Stick with my "anyone but the PIES"

If you have to have a second team mine is Hawthorn so no problem for me.

If we lose to Port all hell will break loose. Here and at the club.

It's not hyperbole. Port is total rubbish, clearly the worst side in the league (yes, worse than Gold Coast). They have no heart, no spirit, no class, no skill and no structure.

If we put in the effort we ought to, we'll win by plenty. At least, we should.

Even so Jack Trengove may still feel a bit nervous until the MRP have met.

No chance of that whatsoever.

I was watching the Casey game yesterday very near to where Jack was also watching and I can assure you that he behaved himself, didn't collide with any of the field umpires and didn't sling tackle any of the yahoos in attendance. He's clear and may he be as instrumental in beating Port Adelaide on Saturday night as he was last year (but please let the margin be greater than one point).

Your 2nd team is whorethorn OD....after what happened in '87 & '88??

I could never even consider giving the Dorks any of my time, although i will concede the '89 GF is a pure work of art as a game.

HBO should make a mini series based on it.

    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.

    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
