I just can't believe we didn't take Fev. Why do we have a list full of choir boys?? When will this club pull it's head out of the sand and start recruiting some tough men that can play footy, regard

If you're on a drinking binge then you're usually asleep during the early morning recovery session. The rumours around suggest that they were wide awake.

Without Clark we will struggle to win another game in 2012. We don't kick enough goals.

When will this club pull it's head out of the sand and start recruiting some tough men that can play footy, regardless of whether they're likely to miss 80% of possible matches due to suspension, rehab and being in custody??

Geez, you've overlooked Cousins and Aker in a hurry !

Geez, the whole year for Martin when they are still in contention for finals.... must have been naughty boys if this is the punishment. I know it's speculation at this stage.

We are a massive chance on the weekend.

If all is true does that mean outs for them include:

Martin - Connors - King - Grimes - Jackson

If only Clark was playing..................

Yes, and Vickery. And the distraction this causes. And coming back from interstate.

Choko not sure that these two out alters much Connors has only played 2 games this year and all my Richmond friends tell me Martin as been ordinary most games this year.

Remember the Tigers beat us by 59 points ( almost 10 goals ) earlier in the year before our injuries hit the current massive levels.

They only lost to Adelaide by a couple.

We have won 2 games they have won 6

Bookies have us at $5 tigers $1.16 they are seldom wrong

I think Ricmond will beat us with one leg in the air

Every time we go up against a depleted side convinced we will beat them, we get done! I refuse to take any confidence from Richmond's sudden loss of several "key" players.

Martin 24 touches and 3 goals last week, he's a key player for them. Big out.

Reckon we are chance this week.

We should definitely draft Connors.

If you believe the talk at PRE there's been some questions over Martin's "social behaviour" for some time. I don't think too many are suprised about Connors though.

"The latest misdemeanour took place after the Tigers’ loss to Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday. The pair are understood to have gone on a drinking binge the following day and failed to turn up to training early yesterday."

Hmmm .... that last underlined bit raises eyebrows. Not usually alcohol that forces blokes to miss training after a bender.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    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.
