Melbourne are finally playing football in September again. that's all I can think of.

Can somebody inform the Fox Footy commentators that it is not 2002? They are blowing their horns over some "breaking news" they will reveal at half-time. Meanwhile I have this thing called the inter

Oh well - about to watch my last quarter of footy for 2012. I really don't care about the other clubs so I don't care what happens to them from here. I just hope the people who have the power, do the

Neeld is a joke, 8 straight losses to start next year, will be sitting there al sanctimonious like Ratts, all over for this guy.

Worst coach in the history of the game.

Anyone can tell me the exact ruling for deliberate rush behind?

All depends on crowd reaction.

Off to watch the other teams. 2012 has been nothing short of disgraceful football by this club. Overpaid underwhelming incompetent football list.

Shell of an AFL team, and the club is gone if this continues.

Let's see if 2013 keeps us interested.

Oh well - about to watch my last quarter of footy for 2012. I really don't care about the other clubs so I don't care what happens to them from here. I just hope the people who have the power, do the right thing when it comes to recruitment time. I have never seen the Dees win a premiership in my life time. My husband, both my kids, my parents and my closest friends have all experienced what I have been denied. But I am an optimist and will be back there supporting my beloved Dees in 2013. I never tip against them, think each week we are in with a chance and hope that 2013 will be our year.

Epic Fail Melbourne. The statement that we wanted to play the year out has proved to be more hollow words. These guys wearing the Red & Blue have one hell of a task ahead of them winning the respect of their own suporters, let alone the football world. Is there even any anger in ONE of them about their performanaces this year. I don't see it!

Sounds like we're ending the season like we started it: embarrassingly uncompetitive.

I haven't seen a single second, and I propose to keep it that way, but I hope our so-called 'depth players' put in shockers to seal their fates. We don't have 'depth players', we have a bevy of has-been or will-not-be list-cloggers.

I don't want anger, I just want it fixed. Diesel were you really expecting this to be a statement match? Lol. We've barely raised a yelp all year and suddenly we're going to pull something from our arse at Subi against a top 8 side? Ok. I expected an insipid effort and haven't been disappointed.

Rule 15.6.1© - A Free Kick shall be awarded against a Player who intentionally kicks, handballs or forces the football over the boundary line without the football being touched by another player.

So it all comes down to what the umpire determines to be 'intentional'.

that seems the problem - not even a whimper. All season other than one game against the saints, one game against Essendon and a few easy beats.

    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
