Really happy for him. He's put his head down and worked really hard to become a good player, which you can only respect.

Speaking of overpriced footballers Scully and Folau had 21 possessions between them (contracts this year $2m Scully and $1.5m Folau) with Scully getting 16 and Foolau the grand total of 5, well done.

Justice as well for GC and escape from embarrasment for the AFL and the umps after that disgusting dive by Reilwoldt, what a cretin!

At least if they're paying well over the odds for him they got somebody with the mental fortitude to finish from that position.

They are barely paying are they? isnt it all AFL cash? would definitely take Karmichael on our team, and good on him, must be pretty driven ect to make it in 2 world class sports. And Ruby league :P

Im rapt for the gold coast. Also I think this puts GWS back on the bottom. But im glad we wern't the first team to lose to them. Its weird how they can thrash hawthorn yet blow this game to the bottom team.

But hopefully Karmichael has shut up the people who have knocked him. he did something tonight that professional footballers who have been in the system for 10 years cant do. he was just so calm and went back and slotted it.

Somebody's paying him zillions to be a good ordinary player. The line blurs between Gold Coast/GWS and the AFL considering they're practically the same organisations.

Still, cop that Richmond.

Fantastic, go Harmicheal !!!

But, can I hear the Tune of a marching Surf Rescue Band???

I hope I'm not witnessing the emergence of the Gold Coast only for them to finish 2nd last on the 2012 Ladder, & then for them to ontrade that 2nd pick to The Giants for an U-17 Yr old Key position player from WA.

Two years in a row Suns have beaten them up there!

I think it would be better for the Suns to finish 18th. They will take Whitfield and then GWS will take Grundy.

If GWS finish 18th they may decide to take Whitfield. Suns would then look a lot more closely at bidding for Viney as they don't need Grundy and would rather an inside mid.

Was a little down after today's loss, although I'm getting too used to it, but that put a smile on my face and the only thing that make smile harder was the thought of the look on the tigers fans faces! They are just so entertaining!

The outcome will be decided in the side of the season though, with 3-4 winnable games we should get to about 4 wins imo

Every game is winnable. I thought we'd have 3-4 games won in the first half of the season. I honestly don't think that we can win more than 2 for the rest of the season. Who else are we likely to beat? GWS and GC? After GCs performance today, that's not a lock in.

I think we'll finish 16th on % only from GWS and GC.

Port really and GWS and GC

I think the Dogs have an interesting finish to the season, they could easily not win another game for the season, no easy games ie Port GWS or GC for them. They are 3 wins ahead of us at present though

Great result all round, really. Karmichael is working really hard and showing that he is most likely going to make it as a good AFL player, Gold Coast get the monkey off the back, and Richmond has a massive spanner thrown into their attempt to make finals. Good stuff.

Thank goodness for Richmond. Courtesy of losing on the siren to a team that had lost about 20 in a row in a home game they sold for cash, the tigers will almost certainly miss the top eight and in doing so prevent Melbourne from owning the longest current finals drought.

Their win makes me think....OH [censored]! And the reason being is that I have a bad feeling about this game now. But good on Karmichael. Worth every cent?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
