Melbourne fans need to harden up about Etihad. It's oval shaped, has grass on it and is located in the CBD.

If we get inside 8 goals of North today I will be amazed. We are coming off two energy sapping slow tracks in the rain of Geelong and the heat of Darwin to play probably our biggest bogey side at our

Listen to Allister Lynch the [censored], it was a clear throw, FFS.

How dare you blame him! He can't help the lazy approach and mindless skill errors. He gave them a huge serve at the huddle, if they don't come out harder now they may as well pull a Murray Newman, heap there bags and go home.

Who should I blame for dropping a spare man back then? I agree that the players are being lazy and making horrible error's, they have done that all year though. My point was not how the players were playing but the way the coach was coaching. ie dropping a man loose in defence in the first 10 minutes of a game. I think Craig is great for player development but as a game day coach I don't rate him very highly.

Well he's kicked one now. Happy?

Contested possessions 18-7 to us in the last five minutes. That's good at least.

Inside 50s 6-7 their way this quarter. So at least that's an improvement too.

Ecstatic thanks Titan.

Agree, I hate the loose man in defence and I'm sick of MFC coaches (Bailey, Neeld and Craig) resorting to it as their routine plan B. It's pathetic and gets us nowhere.

Such a [censored]. Was going on about how great Thompsons defensive work on Fitzpatrick was. Suppose the fact it should've been a free was irrelevent.

Sounds silly given the game, but those misses from Gawn and Jones are going to hurt. We had a tiny bit of momentum at that point, and from what it sounds like, they both should have kicked those.

North then goes inside 50 twice for two goals.

Now a 50 metre penalty against Viney which Leigh Matthews says is a bad one. Standard.

About the only positive we can take at the moment is that we're only 25 down. We turned on for about 3 minutes in that quarter and managed 2.2 whilst North played a lot worse.

Obviously playing well for 5% of a game isn't good enough, but if we can improve in the second half, the margin isn't prohibitive (especially given it's North).

More likely outcome is North kicks straight and we go down by 70, but who knows.

Getting beaten in clearances 15-24 and contested possession 55-72. Those have to improve.

Pathetic, disgusting, hopeless. What other adjectives can I think of?

Pederson is the biggest liability on a field I have ever seen, which says something when I watch guys like Blease do nothing week in week out.

Can't even begin to understand what the hell today is. It's seriously a mess.

This is taking us back to early 2013, we are pretty average today.

Anyone who argues that we don't need a PP doesn't live in the real world.

We need a priority and we need to trade it for a ready made midfielder, somehow, somewhere.

I'd be into Ollie Wines ear and I'd be given Port our pick 2, they can have Aish, we haven't got the time to develop much longer.

We really are pathetic, as sad as it is to say.

    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.
