Took an old friend out for lunch on Sunday

Had a very lovely time on a beautiful Sunday afternoon...Great conversation ...a few drinks....Solved the worlds problems....She is a very funny lady...

Not once did I think who was winning the footy or really care.

Checked the scores when I got home but didn't really care

There are a lot more things to do on a lazy Sunday than stress over footy these days.

Agreed. It's just not what it used to be. absurd amount of injuries rubbish, inconsistent umpiring constant rule changing and softening of the game we have subs now yeah OK might as well change th

I like many others went to the G last week and left before the end of the game. Now into my 8th year of torture as a supporter of the MFC, 35 years as a member. I wonder how many supporters of this

Just tell him what my dad used to tell me - you can barrack for whoever you want but if it's not Melbourne you sleep outside.

Could not agree more Bossdog

Change took an old friend out for lunch with went to windy hill and the rest is the same.

Took my radio and never turned it on.

As I was leaving the ground I heard someone say Dees lost which was hardly a surprise and did not check the game reports till Monday afternoon.

Sad but a sane way to spend ones weekends

It feels good to switch off from it.

I was at my sons under thirteens footy game sunday, they won by eighty points and he kicked a goal and was named in the best players.

Didnt even think of the game against GWS till we got home, and the result didnt worry us too much because we had a great day together.

Much more enjoyable than AFL

Gone are the days when i rely on the dees to provide any sort of happiness, if it comes eventually , then well and good , i will enjoy it.

Is he free this Saturday afternoon? I know a team that needs a player who knows how to win.

I have to go on Saturday afternoon to a reunion of all my girlfriends relatives and extended family.

I never thought you'd ever hear these words uttered from my mouth - I am looking forward to it because it is a legitimate excuse not to go see us play.

edit - on reflection, we can still stink it up a lot more before the reunion will be more appealing.

Almost exactly what I am doing nutbean.

We were invited last week to a function at short notice, my wife asked are you going to the footy?

I did not need to answer my look said it all

I coach my local u14 side which both of my sons play in. We won 122 to nil last Sat.

My eldest boy is a good chance of at least training with the Falcons u15s next year depending on his attitude. My interest in footy has change and my love of the game is different.

The dees are the ex girlfriend that I gave my heart to only to have it walked all over. I can't help but take an interest in her but the sight of her cuts deep.

    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
