My usual group of six have pulled out of today, and every Demons supporter I speak to reckon they're not going.. Sounds like I'll be one of about 1000 demons at the 'G.

Oh well, I guess i'll have to make up the missing noise, bring it on.

Tigers by 42 points

Solid effort from an ordinary team playing without Clark, Watts, Blease and Grimes, who are all either injured or out of form or both.

I'd rather win or get absolutely smashed today... Just can't handle another 30-50 point loss and being told we were competitive/inexperienced and did well in some obscure stat made up purely for the presser... Something needs to change.

Enjoy the beautiful weather those who are going.

I am sitting this one out for a family cause but I will be home on time to watch the inevitable destruction.

If we win, then clearly I am the problem and I vow to never attend another game under Neeld again... So roughly until the end of the year.

I really haven't felt like going all week and only decided to go yesterday. Why am I going? Because thats what you do. There are a variety of reasons why people cant go but if you can its hard to have a go at the effort of players if you refuse to put in effort yourself to show them support. One day this will all turn and I refuse to be seen as someone who stopped through the hard times to then return when we start improving.

Go Dees. Give'm hell.

Richmond will be trying to win this game in the first quarter. If they kick 5 quick goals in the first 15 min or so heads will drop and it's over. If we are any shot we have to scrap out a first quarter win or at least be within a kick

How to stop the 15 goal to nothing third quarter though I don't know I'll pass that to someone else...

Why do I still have the anticipation of "maybe we're a chance" when we are not. All week I have no illusions of success but the hope there will be some glacial movement forward as a team but game day the inner nutter Melbourne fan comes out and says we can win this!!!!

Another 100 point loss Mark and you are out, sorry mate.

At this point I'm thinking nothing short of a 200 point loss to GWS would get Neeld sacked.

Honestly I see this one being about a 40-50 point loss and Neeld buying himself some time whilst talking up some stats that aren't the scoreboard.

I've stopped hoping for wins, I just want the players to come off the ground and be able to look at each other in the eyes and know they tried their best.

It's a simple request that seems to be happening very rarely.

thats only because the President and the Board need to get out as well.

This whole club has disregarded winning at all levels.

Ever since Luke Ball sat under our nose and we didn't jump.

I also thought we should've taken Ball at pick 18.

The club had an opportunity to be ruthless (and could afford to with the luxury of 4 top 20 picks) but of course let Collingwood have their man.

    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
