Clark is more of a big bodied midfielder or crumber than a forward. He'd be awesome in the ruck, but for some reason, we're not playing him there.

Probably has something to do with the four million dollars we're paying him to be a full forward...

I was thinking this the other day, I'd like to see Martin "tag" Naitanui if that is possible with ruckmen.

I'll just preface this with saying I rarely complain about umpires, but... I have never been more [censored] off at the umpiring of a game of football in my whole life. A few sloppy high tackles in t

We are playing a top 4 side, in their home state, and we are a bottom 4 side. What did you expect Neeld

to do? Wave his magic wand and we'd suddenly be good?!

It'll take time.

i expect us to be competitive, we look like a 3rds side, embarrising

He's trying to implement a game plan that is outdated and doesn't suit our cattle. We can't afford another two to three year build.

I don't care what we're paying him. I just care what he's good at. And he's not good at marking the ball in a contested situation. Ruckman are damn important, so we should swap Jamar for Clark. Jamar can mark the ball better, and Clark is of far more use around the ground.

And thats the problem isn't it? Would be nice to be able to watch a game with some expectation that we might be able to actually compete.

That'll happen Doc, but come on, as if it was ever going to be this week. With the events of this week and the absolute gulf in class between the sides, there was never going to be any result other than this one.

It's like a training drill.

For all the hot air and tough talking from Neeld, we have become less competitive since he took over. Shameful.

We are worse than 08 and 09 in everyway. Unorganized, clueless, skill less

I too am shattered Clark isn't single handedly pulling us out of the poo. We should give that money to the midfielders and defenders who are also getting completely spanked.

It's our disposal across the entire ground. Outside of say Watts and Trengove, we rarely hit targets.

21-1 frees holy [censored] and 4 goals 2 resulting from free kicks

To be honest, most of them have been clumsy free kicks that were there. The last goal however was [censored] abhorrent. Definitely ducked into it.

    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
