As opposed to cowering in the corner like they usually do?

The problem with the bagging Toumpas isn't "bagging Toumpas". He has been poor, we all know it. The vitriol, hate and derision is uncalled for. Last week he was fantastic for us. A poor half and h

What is that going to do?

He isnt injured, hes just a dud.

Pretty certain he is injured mate, having said that he fades in and out of games far too much.

Trengove is costing us every time he his near the ball if he is injured dont play him . He loses his feet or the ball every time he tries

Ok I don't care that its his first year, conditions don't suit etc.. but for toumpas to not touch it the WHOLE first half is actually a disgrace. its like we are laying with 17 blokes out there.

He isnt injured.

He has been [censored] since the start of 2012

He was aslo very quick two years ago and all the power is gone, fair chance that's OP but there is no use defending himself, he is our captain, it's his job to adapt and he isn't doing it, might need a spell in the VFL

Toumpas is clearly struggling with the heat. He'll get subbed off. Let's not forget his efforts last week where he was our best player in tough wet conditions against a champion team. He's a first year player who will be up and down, so let's ease up.

Our midfield is non-existent. Jones struggling with a tag and getting no support. Viney battling his heart out.
Flipside Matt Jones unsighted. Grimes letting Rich set up play after play. Toumpas struggling. Sylvia sore ankle.

I've watched a lot of footy today, and this is so far below an AFL standard game it's embarrassing. Looks like its back to us being the most boring team to watch.

My only real question is how the hell did the club expect us to be competitive with no midfield at all? We aren't missing anyone from our best midfield. This is it.

I'm sick of this Toumpas bashing. He's having a shocker, so lets have him hung, drawn, and quartered FFS. He'll get subbed out and should be given a week at Casey. A disgrace? No. The disgrace is that we need him to do the job of a senior player. Someone needs to stand up in the midfield, because with Jones being tagged out (again) we have nothing through he middle except for Viney playing the role of kamikaze.

Toumpas not having a single possession is as much his coach and teammates' fault as it is his. Geelong's senior players get the young players into the game by giving them cheapies. Melbourne players do the opposite; they see you're having an off night and so they look away from where you are.

Jack Watts had to deal with it in his first year, and now Jimmy Toumpas' development is being stunted in exactly the same way. It isn't good enough.

    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

    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.
