Thanks, the MFCs newest member; 'Viney', is doing quite well despite her mum's persistence in calling her by some other name.

I agree with the idea but the great thing about UF is the connection you have with the other competitors. With trades and everything happening during the year you begin to make somewhat of an alliance

I don't quite understand why people think that teams aren't trying because of the Keeper rule. If it wasn't for keeper and teams were still struggling we'd still have the same problem - that's fantas

Please play Ashton Hams against me... please?

I need a laugh.

Ashton "three goals straight as a sub" Hams?

It's a promise. If I haven't caved to all the trade offers I've had for him.

Range Rover responds to the insult of computer generated $108.50 odds against to comprehensively down Watts Cook 'n!

Massive win.

Got BBQ'd Last week by watts cook n

Now on a roll, undefeated since round one

Dappa, surprised my offer for Hams got a knock back, thought Dal Santo would have got the job done ;)

Those projected game odds leave a bit to be desired

Congrats on the win HT - The Big Mummy's late withdrawal killed me but still a couple of extra marks & tackles

& still could of falllen my way. Looking like a close comp in season 2012

One bonus for both of us is the form of Hamish Mac, Luke Shuey, Brent Reilly & Nick Riewaldt

All 4 are starring @ the minute - Reinforces there is such a thing as a win / win trade.

Look forward to the next time we meet where I intend to reverse this outcome.

Well done to all other victors in Round 2.

Close one.

Agree on win win trade, they're all in good touch in weekend. Shuey and McIntosh in my votes - 3 and 1 respectively.

Another big game this week v Scarlett.

how do the waivers work, because i signed alex johnson it said he was free to sign, signed him delisted one of my players and it said it was on a waiver, now he's been signed by jt devils, how does this work?

Once a player is Delisted they are placed on Waivers for a period of two days. During this time each coach in the league can put in a request to sign the player if they desire. At the end of the waiting period the coach who applied with the highest Waiver Priority is awarded with the player. If no coaches have made a Waiver Claim after two days then the player is dropped to the reserves where they are free to be signed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

johnson and batchelor were not on another team prior to this were they, so why would they be put on the waivers list in the first place.

Basically the person/team lower on the ladder gets first crack at the player. You can 'sign' that player on a waiver but on the 'release' date he'll get snapped up by the lowest team. Something like that anyway.

In a nutshell, it gives crap teams half a chance to rebuild.

And congrats on a good win.

There wasnt much in it, You losing Hille early didnt help your cause.

The way it looking atm, expect some heart stoppers throughout the year.

I could use a quality, reliable goal kicker ... all offers if any ? will be considered.

There isnt much to choose from, if someone has one, its unlikely they will trade, but you never know.

Hello from the top of the table. A big game this week against Dappa. If I can get a win here then a top 4 spot awaits. Bring it on!

You certainly have developed a very strong list,and yet you tried to con me in getting a very good player for a has been.Although he will star this week.Your odds on to make the top 4, and a very strong favorite to win the league IMO, at this stage.Everything being equal ,you should belt Dappa, but he is a good coach, so don't get over confident, my friend.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
