wish i was there, wish today had've worked out. oh well, it's great to see.

very impressed by gawn again tonight, can be a serious player. frawley and watts very good, kent is very exciting, trengove has been getting much more involved.

really wish we could stop liberatore getting clearances - if we could clamp down on him it'd help extend the lead even further.

yes, i really said the LEAD!!!

Tony Shaw is a FAR#KNG butt face

He accused NJones of dropping the knees and diving forward when he got he free kick inside 50.

Don't worry about the 2 other players on his BACK you doppy, ill informed, overrated spud nuckle.

U r a disgrace.

OH MY GOD We're a football team again!

Haven't seen us play football like this since 2011.

Loving Tom MacDonald's runs through the middle. Even he is shocked!

Best half of footy we have played since 2011. There really is no co-incidence in this. This same team lost by 10 goals to the Suns less than 2 months ago, yet tonight they are playing with flair and confidence.

It is what it is!

2 things - all those who bagged Jimmy Toumpas hang your heads in shame.

Neil Craig can coach, unfortunately Mark Neeld could not (thought he might have been able to, but tonight proves that he lost the playing group). Oh and thirdly Jack Watts can play too!

That shouldn't have been a free, but I'm okay with it for two reasons:

1. Nathan Jones is a hard-nut, who earns what he gets generally.

2. It happened to a Melbourne player, so it's okay.

What a waste of the last 18 months with a [censored] gameplan,we're playing with so much freedom and confidence now.

Great to see Watts really enjoying his footy and not roaming the backline playing unaccountable football.

JT has 14 disposals and running freely again.

Ahhh Big Maxxy

NC wants the job.

Agree !

I haven't thought too many times this year that they know how to play football !

The game is only half over but you can get the feel from this performance that if the team can be bolstered with the addition of a couple of goers next year (and of course the necessary additional draft pick(s)) there might yet be hope for the future

My main beef chook is that he said he dived which he didn't.

That really pizzed me off cause jones ain't no diver.

Clark dawes hogan watts howe with gawn or fitz resting

Just need a mid or two.

Dale Thomas.

i know a lot of people think he is soft, but he is far from soft and he can really play.

Goddard has been the pick up of 2013 and Daisy will be the pick up of 2014.

if anyone had of said after the 2010 grand final that both these players would be on offer in a few years, it would've been laughed at.

Daisy is exactly what we need.

The best thing is he is playing the contest and not even looking at the umps.

Absolutely mate...can't stand him doesn't even contest it. [censored] I hope we get up

I'm not sure about that proving anything..

..but I think i hear that the players are playing on instinct, so I can presume the defensive shackles have been let loose & the players may have been told to take the game on & trust your instincts... this will show up like they are playing.... but it doesn't mean you can do it this way against Hawthorn.

It's obvious Neeld had the team playing in chains.

They are now off.

If our boys have any pride the dogs will be crushed tonight.

The Mark Neeld era will be banished to a distant dark memory.

The entire board must go btw.

Before everyone bags Mark Neeld (who I admit had serious problems in his coaching style and plans), consider also that Neil Craig is a damn good coach whoonly moved on from his old club because he felt that was the best thing for the players.

Make no mistake. He is a legitimate option to coach us next year.

Jack Grimes reckins he'll be out there next week! How good is that?

Also, he says that Neil Craig will be putting his hand up to coach the team next year.

Even better, imagine a bloodthirsty Viney on the field.

    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
