It would be intersesting to know what is the most amount of goals we have kicked in a row, in a game this year. It couldn't be more than 3, and that may have only happened once or twice.

I have never been as flat and emotionally detatched form the game as I have this year. It's not just the losses, it's the style of play, the lack of run and confidence.

I haven't felt once in a game this year of having a real sense of momentum. How farked is that? Momentum is just about everything in todays footy.

The first game that I have not been to in twelve years at the G

I live three minutes walk from there and could not be bothered

Maybe I will get a gig in the guts next week showing as much fortitude as the regular squad

Why is Brian Royal so hated? It's not the coach. Its the midfield/or lack of.

Why not?

He really isn't getting great results.

In 2010 we had a great back line...one of the best in the comp. Wellman goes, Royal comes in and it goes downhill. Last year our midfield wasn't awful; we had some good games and some bad games. This year, Royal takes over the midfield coaching role. Now we have NO good games.

My persective at the game was that we did not take advantage of forward 50 entries in the third quarter when we were actually looking dangerous. Blease ran in and tried to kick two when we had free players in our forward 50 and Frawley did once.

But this didnt cause the blow out in the last quarter which seemed totally different to the rest of the game.

Yep, I agree. The end of the 2nd quarter and the 3rd quarter were frustrating. We had so many opportunities and we had the ball locked in our forward 50 for what seemed like an eternity without being able to kick a goal.

I think the playing group need to take some responsibility for this bullsh#t that happens once an opposition has kicked 2 goals in a row. I'd love to see our stats once a team gets a run on against us. It's outrageously bad. I'm tired of watching press releases with blokes trying to explain why they didn't show up for a quarter every week.

Surely we instigate a team rule that throws players behind the ball or clogs the game up to stop the demoralizing loses. It helps nobody.

Our kicking for goal just wasn't there, we had enough chances to kick a big score today, we missed heaps of goals on the run from inside 50. If only Clark was a little better at his set shots but more time as a key forward and that will come. Dunn hardly looked like scoring and Green was off, we really need more goals from midfielders such as Moloney, Trengove and Jones who have all kicked good goals at important times on their day but just didn't contribute enough

So what your saying is that we should make BR the next forward coach yes?

Goalkicking midfielders are worth their weight in gold and we have close to none. It is why I couldn't give a stuff if Moloney stays or goes and why I am so disappointed in Sylvia as he has the potential but only does it a couple of times a year.

    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
