How true it is. The first game when he's looked like he's given a genuine toss and we look infinitely better.

Saw the Jamar/Moloney connection for the first time for the season tonight, hope it's on the way back

Watts is going to be a superstar - having another great game. All of you who constantly bag him, get stuffed. Garland up forward is good too. I'm loving this game - c'mon Dees!!

doesn't the media make you want to vomit - we are in front at half time and Watts has a few touches, instantly they turn from labelling him a soft spud and a wasted no.1 pick to praising him, even though he had exactly the same game 2 weeks ago and nobody said boo

carn dees, look what a little effort and heart can do

The silence surrounding Sellar's improved showing is almost deafening; not to mention that of Morton.

Really? Don't think either has done so much that I'd be calling that yet... They haven't been bad, and Sellar's desperation has been good, but really don't think either has done enough yet that you can tell people to shut up about them

The TV commentary referred to a change in Neeld's game plan - players playing naturally - I didn't hear all of the comments - can anyone please explain? (I did, of course, see the play, but screen vision is limited.)

Excuse me? I was telling people to shut up? Hmmm.

you were saying how quiet everyone has been about them, and that's cos they haven't done that much yet

Sellar has been very reliable in defence and Morton, despite one mistake has been getting involved...take off the blinkers for Christ sake! And I would have thought the use of the words "silence is deafening" might have given away hat I was suggesting the opposite to shutting up.

Love how posters here pick out one moment and use it to say that player has been awful all game...

Sylvia has been ok, not good, but ok, the effort has been there at least and he's looking hungry for a change

OK, I'll give you a few examples.

Twice I counted he gave up on his man in our forward 50 and they went inside 50 as a result. Blazed away a few times too.

Lifted this half however.

No blinkers mate, both have made an effort, but hardly good enough to shut up the critics yet

Sorry, who was just talking up Morton....?

That goal was his fault, too soft and indecisive with the ball

Pop quiz... Who said the following:

I wasn't suggesting any such thing...I was suggesting that those who are willing to criticism for the most innocuous of mistakes remain silent whenever they do something worthwhile.

haha fair enough mate, I'll cop that. Only said he cost us a goal though, didn't say he was having an awful game.

    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

    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
