Ever since his AA year he has been putride. Consistently beaten one on one and a lazy fat [censored].

He is supposed to be our best defender, a senior play and a leader but he just does not perform. EVER.

Replace him with Joel MacDonald who gives 100% not matter what.

When you get smashed out of the middle it makes his job alot harder, can't blame him for being abit frustrated, if we want to improve it has to be done in the middle.

Those times when Brown took marks well in front, you need to look at what happened in the goalsquare. The Brisbane forwards work really hard to give Brown a chop-out and get him into space. Nobody in our forward line even tries to do the same for our FF. Our team is seriously lacking in cohesion.

Not only that but he rarely gets a chop out from a third man up or players filling the space for the forward to lead in to. He wasn't too happy with Terlich on one occasion today as he hadnt worked back to fill the hole allowing an easy lead-up cheat mark to Brown. There's times where he hasn't been up to scratch but today (and last week) he did his job. There's others I'd be looking at well before him (for instance McDonald who needs a run in the 2's).

I counted atleast 3 different players kicking into the man on the mark today (1 of which resulting in a goal, thanks Shannon) and Chip wasn't one of them.

There's obviously a few problems with the list but to pick out Frawley doesn't make any sense.

I'd seriously look at the midfield before crucifying any defenders.

The difference to the AA chip & the 2013 chip is that teams have negated his run out of Defence. Also with Rivers gone its basically Chip & Garland running the backline.

We need to get a B+ - A grade defender to help the guy out.

Don't look at the player look at the team and the way it plays and the way it's coached.

We [censored] Mclean of and he was close to BOG yesterday, we [censored] Beamer off and he was close to BOG today, we [censored] Petterd off and he's getting a game with a team that's much better than us.

The coach isn't supposed to [censored] players off just because he doesn't like them, I'm not blaming him for Mclean, he's supposed to use them and develop them.

I doubt Rivers would have left if he didn't see our position as hopeless and that there is no future. So we get rid of Frawley next and replace him with what; another washed up reject.

The only thing is, if we trade Frawley, we will have a hard time replacing him.

So while he's out of form and frustrating, he is still a very important player, he'd leave a huge hole in our backline if we got rid of him.

On top of that, if we did trade him for draft picks, we'd then have to attract a backman via free agency and players won't want to play here.

Only Frawley would let Jonathan Brown eat him for breakfast at 31 years old. Why this guy is in the leadership group is beyond me.

    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
