No credit for Moloney? Not exactly down hill skiing when you perform against the 2nd place side on their homeground...

I try not to think about how well Moloney is playing, it's too depressing that he isn't doing it for us

And the drugs have worn off............nnnnnnnnnnnnnnow!

The come down is harsh.

That was brilliant by the Lions, Essendon turned up as though they just expected to win, Lions would have none of that and hit them hard from the first bounce. Hurley subbed off concussed within 10 minutes, another player copped a big charge from behind, Brown slammed into someone. This is what I want from the Demons tomorrow, you don't have to be the most skilled side but if you hit them harder than they hit you you're always in with a chance.

Merrett ought to get suspended for his sling tackle on Hurley (edit: based on Trengove's suspension a few years back, anyway). Clarke ought to get suspended for his charge of Kavanagh.

This is similar to the reaction to Jetta's suspension a couple of weeks ago - some people view that as the type of aggression/intent we need to show, others view it as a 'cheap shot' and don't like it.

"Can't talk...Coming down"

Top effort by the Bears. I wonder if the MFC could play like that?

Do they want Neeld?

Brisbane obviously want Voss to continue, they were stiff last week.

Essendrug back in form.

Great.

15 disposals and not mentioned in the team bests on the AFL website is hardly "performing" Stuie. How many threads do you want to put this misinformation on? I've counted two so far. Get over it, you're turning into Rangey Mk 2 in that you think the more times you post something the more it will be true. Lol!

Yup, apologies there, I was following the stats online and added up the wrong columns. 15 touches, 7 tackles, and a goal still a pretty good game though.

Not quite enough though. Same thing he was guilty of with MFC.

What are you talking about? He was accused of not getting it enough in our loses and too much in our wins? They won today. Do the math.

It's exactly what he would have done at Melbourne. He continues to substantiate his down-hill ski work. Very, very, very rarely does he get it done against good opposition.

Every good game Beamer plays for the Lions is an indictment on both him and Mark Neeld.

Have to give credit to the Lions though, they did play well.

As a Bomber supporter we have been playing like this since the GWS game. Obviously against Geelong we didn't take our opportunies kicking 1.9 in the 3rd Q. If the GWS were more experienced and converted missed opportunies they might have beaten us. ATM we lack intensity at the start of the game and as others had pointed out we think we just need to turn up to win.

Michael Voss is safe atm and he hasn't lost the players at all. Don't forget they were good against the WCE and could have won that game as well. Voss may still get the arse if they decide to go in another direction at the end of the season.

If you think the Dees and Neeld are under pressure look at the Bulldogs they escape the media attention all the time.

Do you think the interviews have finally made his scandal really weigh on the playes minds?

    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
