That's it. I will support this club with everything I have for the rest of life. But players come and go from clubs, and I will refuse to support this particular group of players again. Not all of them, but as a whole, and especially those in leadership positions, I have lost all respect for. Absolutely pathetic.

oh well, at least Joel Mac is playing alright. Shattered for Straussy though, lets hope through some miracle it isn't a 12 month type injury or worse.

I cant remember a time where i was disappointed with Joel Mac after a game this year. Rivers BEST games are better than Mac's, but i would much prefer Joels consistency...

With Strauss out and our backline taking another big scoreline hit.. is it time for Tom McDonald to get blooded at AFL level? Cant do much worse right now

Jared Rivers - 1 handball, 1 free against

Glad to see our 'leaders' have had great stats in the past two weeks

I remember a rumor going around 2 years ago that Port Adelaide offered their first-rounder (pick 9 I think) for Rivers. So Butcher or Moore in the team today instead of Rivers...

He's useless.

Half time and Rivers has 3 stats less i free against = 4 DT points Davey has 3 possessions Green 4 Jones 9 Moloney 9 Frawley 7 Watts is leading with 14.

Do we have a backline apart from Garland early and Joel Mac?

Do we have a single winner out there? What about someone who is breaking even? Be honest, if Carlton were as polished as Geelong we'd be more than 10 goals down at half time and on track for another 20+ goal flogging.

maybe our plan is to wear the blues out by making them run thru the midfield at pace all game, making sure we don't get in their way

Out leadership is an absolute disgrace. They couldn't stand up if thier lives depended in it. Green, beamer, Davey rivers jones should all go everyone left from the Daners era is soft as butter and we don't need them spoiling this crop who still have a chance

Maybe they've gone out in protest this week because Col was dropped?

BTW what is with the nickname of Stef Martin; every time he gets a kick or handball they call him ineffective?

Maybe but today he is playing in the forward line....how does he inspire influence when he's not in the game. Send him to the half back line for the rest of the game with a message to harden up

Howe is also playing forward yet is having influence on the game.

Just watching the game on tv, jeff garlett ran 45 meters

Without bouncing the ball how is that possible?

Umpires have adopted a 'games over, put whistle away' approach.

Unless the free is against Melbourne.

I said last week I was done and yet here I am wasting my time. Supporting this team is like being married to an [censored], and I want a divorce.

The players should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. In the past two weeks they cost a man his job, made their president even sicker and brought turmoil to the club. To turn this [censored] on today is just gut wrenching.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
