Old..Ive long suspected that once we got the sniff that all was not quite kosher with the over-hyped one that MFC played a little game. It could have ended like the Puppies..or it could end how it did, with much greater reward.

Weve all been over the rest countless times. Yes we are much relieved to have him gone. Im not so sure the rest wasnt without some orchestration ;)

I have had similar thoughts. Once they put $600,000 a year on him which was outbid the AFL was between a rock and a hard place in terms of compensation. Smelt like the MFC knew he was gone and plan was to maximise. I too am very glad he is gone.

"War" about to "erupt". Man I love the hyperbole of the footy media.

I have a feeling old55 that they actually did us a favour.

If we had kept him we would not have been able to get Clark.

The situation is really only half a season old but Clark gave us way more for half a year than Scully gave us in two years and GWS in a whole season.

The $cully situation also forced us to look at our whole recruiting structure and set up. It's a big win for us how its turned out,

I dont agree with much that you do say - but you are on the money with this one. All kudos must go to the head conductor.

Still laughing at old55's reply of "Scully"...

You've made hangon007's day, old55...

May day was "made" long ago - when we secured the 2 first round picks from GWS (AFL) we just had to wait 12 months to enjoy it - Im going to enjoy this trade & drafting period. I am a patient man - I am a Demons supporter after all.

I could not care less about GWS - a fake team built on cheating & bs - they stand for nothing - even their name is fake - what the hell is a GWS - can't see it on any map I've looked at - the rats will soon depart leaving Tommy $ and his $illy old man $tranded

No chance it will be there in 20 years time.

Vlad and the boys will keep pouring in money and changing rules until they are succesfull.

There is a lot better chance the MFc will fold before them IMHO

They will find it harder than most to retain their list. The place is a dump, and they will never build a meaningful base. Nonne cares ! Good $ after bad IMHO - Vlad notwithstanding. History is littered with dead teams from out there - NBL, ASL come immediately to mind. NRL & A League heartland.

Please muppets and newspaper boys ignore - Rumours are now out one of the clubs might try and bring the first battle forward by a year - by targeting a large Ruckman with a bit of inside info. Hope its just his manager pumping up his price and forcing GWS to use more salary cap space.

    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.
