We've won one game. Lost to the two teams considered to be as low as us, and been smashed by a decent team by 93 points.

Can't help but think we're getting too ahead of ourselves with the amount of memes etc kicking around. Gives me a foreboding feeling...

I agree regarding "getting ahead of ourselves".

But the joke is about Carlton, not us, and if we were only to beat one team this year I'd have chosen Carlton.

What, that we might lose again?

Geez, how about enjoying the win?!

Agreed. I even said something similar during the week on facebook. It was along the lines of "Please MFC, if you give me a win over Carlton this week, I promise not to ask for anything else".

I am enjoying the win. Just find it strange how quick we are to make fun of another team when we haven't been exactly setting the world on fire. The media is giving enough focus to Carlton instead of us, thought we'd be more interested in the Dees.

Sure we may be getting ahead of ourselves, but please allow a little joy: it has been a very long time between drinks (other than those imbibed to drown sorrows).

Like I said, let's enjoy it and focus on ourselves. We are nowhere near the stage where we should be dishing it up to other teams.

Nothing wrong with a bit of confidence and perhaps a bit of arrogance; the top teams have it in spades and that's why they are the top teams. If we don't think we can win, we won't, if the players go in to the next game thinking this win was a fluke, they are beaten before the siren sounds for the start of the game.

We behave like losers at Melbourne and that can be self fulfilling.

Disagree. They're not top teams because of they are arrogant, they are arrogant because they've earned the right by being a top team.

Hell yeah Stuie. I'm with you. After all, we've got a priority pick to nurture, maybe even picks 1, 2 and 3. Anyone who puts up memes or giffs on this site is a bum, eh. You'd never do that, after all. They have no respect for our reputation as the AFL's pity club.

Yeah, nah. Winners are grinners, and losers can suck it up.

Putting up memes and gifs will change the world one day.

Stuie and Fl.og will be seen as visionaries.

Waste of a line Biff - looks like Stuie's [censored] off for the night. And ... as for Fl og, who obviously can't write our language , with a bit of luck .... well what usually happens to "visionaries" around Easter ? You know, the walk up the hill carrying serious lumber. If the little bastard squirms too much they could forget the feet and ankles stuff and just drive the nail through his tiny ticker. Vampire style.

No chance of a resurrection.

Some men see things in pictures.

They are what we call Herald-Sun readers.

    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

    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
