I'm at the game and it feels like the Lions have 2 extra guys on the field. Grimes, Gawn, Garland, Sylvia are working their back sides off but it's just not our day. God we miss Rivers and another inside mid like Molony. For Tim Harrington to say that Tommy mac will fill Rivers role was premature and ridiculous. This is obviously the first game I have been to this year, but gee wizz we have been sold some lies over the years.

Sam Mayes is killing us. Seems every top 10 pick last year is doing well bar Toumpas

You and your multiple personas on this website can take your player bashing elsewhere.

Demonland has become a hateful place of late. So many people complain about our clubs lack of culture and don't realise that by aggressively attacking players you are a part of the destructive culture that is destroying our club.

Take a look at yourself and behave as your father and his father was expected to, before you could hide behind some piddly little avatar on the Internet.

almost makes you wonder how good Watts would be by now if he was never moved to defense and was allowed to develop in his natural forward position

Another huge fail by Neeld

Lots of red faces, including yours.

"And watts is a beautiful kick - and must play forward"

"Good mark, Watts... so he has to stay up forward"

thought I'd save you the trouble, Stuie - this is obviously a bit beyond you.

Watts looks good up forward.

nah, Rodan should not be outr leading forward that should be watts.

we've got our backhalf a little bit more functional & we;re getting some more drive, but breaking down going into the half forwardline....

Switch Howe & watts...@ the break...

Watts to the wing & howe to CHF...

pederson deep...

I suppose it's what 6 years (possibly 7) being at or near the bottom of the ladder does.

My only complaints are the defennsive zone doesn't work well and the what appears to be half-hearted chasing. Maybe our blokes are just slow.

We. Don't. Work. Hard. Enough.

Not one player, but almost the entire team. It's very hard to believe that the coach and game plan has nothing to do with it.

I don't reckon there's many Port fans arguing that Primus was just a Preseason away from them being 5-0, but I can't wait for another week of it here on D'Land.

It's not destructive change if your destroying something that doesn't work. It's logical and how the rest of the world works.

    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
