I find it hard to reply to people that are dishonest , you've had a dozen different accounts if you get banned from a forum you should just read it after that but instead you wait 6 weeks and come up with another ridiculous name, as far as I'm concerned Thats dishonest so don't reply to me.

Haha dishonest?

You like to make stupid accusations, but back it up with nought.

And every time one of your hindsight-laden revisions is called for what it is, you resort to weak excuses and run from accountability.

You can put me on ignore if you like, but I'll reply to who I want.

Oh no! We're taking it easy with players that have had interrupted preseasons so that we can get the best value out of them for the H&A. What the hell is the club thinking?

I think everyone understands why this is happening. It is only disappointment in not seeing a good side on the park in our first game of a new season, even though it is a NAB challenge game.

Often because (and we've all done it) training reports can be loaded with a persons crude assessment of a player instead of just descriptions of what they are seeing. From then on debate starts and its ok for a while but does get out of hand. As of Friday we will at least get games and stats to analyse instead of random observations.

So very true though sue, Debt Demolition was the worst thing to ever happen to this club, it sucked people in to believing the club was headed in the right direction when all it did was give certain people a bit longer to sit in a position that they wernt worthy of, people like yourself thinking the Debts paid Cameron and he's puppets are doing a great job, I'm starting to think it was the worst thing to ever happen to this club because in anything in life you need a plan b , not a red and blue print that was as real as our next major Chinese sponsor , people like you are concerned about chips contract when guys like Clark earning double the amount think about it , CS decisions have very very long ramifications .

Sigh... some of us are working on the present and future. We all feel a little bitter about the gross waste of time, money and inspiration that occurred through the previous administration.

But there's a difference between that and "Mitch Clark injured his foot = Cameron Schwab's ruining us".

Also, Frawley's decision will hinge as much on success as on money, I'm sure of that. We have vast piles of salary cap room anyway, so the amount we are paying both Clark and Dawes is not really going to be a factor in Frawley's decision. What will be a factor, as stated by him, quite clearly, is whether the club is looking like making real progress and becoming a proper professional team with real prospects.

Both Clark and Dawes can have a major hand in that - both are exceptionally professional presences and both capable of filling absolutely essential on-field roles.

Let's say both are fit by round 3, they may well define our season.

    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.

    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
