How can other teams pick players like Buddy Franklin at picks like #5 and we are picking Cale Morton at #4, and a stupid [censored] that chases money at #1?

Hawthorn also took Thorpe a year or two later at around pick 5. Richmond also took Tambling over Franklin.

If Neeld comes out today and says there was positives, I will begin to doubt him.

Melbourne out to $5.25.

I'm not a betting man but I've just put a pineapple on us for the win. Those odds are ridiculous, surely.

Sorry, P_Man but I just had to.

Today's game was going to show me how far backwards we've gone.

Halfway through the last,it's Tiges by 10 goals as Miller slots a goal and is beating Rivers FFS!

No-one mans up and couldn't be bothered chasing.

The bottom line is,it's our midfield,we just don't have any quality mids,that's where we get smashed every week.

if neeld gives another positive press conference after this ill be filthy

"well we played well for 2 quarters..."

NO MARK, WE DIDNT

But you realise why the press conference was positive, right?

You don't walk into the MFC and be so negative. The establishment won't stand for it.

Neeld can't come out and do a Blighty on the players. The club won't stand for it.

Part of the reason why standards are so low and fans are so fickle. Very little accountability. We'll never win a flag. It's just the club in general.

We just need to figure out who's responsible for our cold third quarters. There's something rotten happening in the half-time break to make us come out looking disinterested and slow. What is it?

An Aussie met a fairy who offered to grant him one wish.

"I want to live forever," he said.

"Sorry," said the fairy, "but I am not allowed to grant that type of wish."

"OK,” he said, "Then I want to die when the Melbourne Demons win the AFL premiership."

"You crafty bastard!" said the fairy.

It is sad how funny I found that.

Mick Malthouse: "Hopefully they will stick with [Mark Neeld." Apparently Neeld was talking to Mick last night about the club and he said that there are so many areas where we are well behind. Man, we've got a long way to go.

yeah coaching and game plan are one of those areas.

Players with heart is another

changes for next week. Take the GPS data of the players who played in the midfield, see how far they ran during the game, drop those who ran the least distance. I'd exclude Howe from this treatment, but something tells me he'd be at the top of the list, not the bottom...

    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
