Vlad must be so happy



Recommended Posts

Sydney or GW$ is irrelevant.

A 9 game broadcast deal is what they want.

If the Swans are winning the advertising $$$ roll in.

GW$ is a side issue

so, Port, Freo, the Suns are all side issues, together with GWS?

the AFL aren't a bank trying to grow money, there trying to grow the game WYL. Next will be IMO New Zealand.

Tippett and Franklin are just ripping the cats apart tonight.

The fact The Swans are able to recruit both players is a disgrace.

Salary Cap Bullshite.

I am dreaming of Roosy beating the Swannettes on the last saturday in September.

The wine is kicking in!!!

Yep, if the Swans didn't have these two we'd have won the flag this year!

Don't you ever get sick of whinging and blaming others?

no. I am merely highlighting massively uneven Salary Caps within the one competition.

Facts.

its becoming like the NBA where the same handful of teams dominate every season

thanks, Vlad

Not necessarily true.. There's been 8 different teams win NBA championships in the last 20 years, 11 different AFL teams.

I suppose the bonus of that is in theory when we start to challenge for a flag we should be around the mark for a while

????? Blues-95? Pies-2010? Bombers-2000? Hawks-2013? Eagles-2006?

the Swans won their first for 72 years, in 2005, then again in 2012.

the Cats won their first for 44 Years in 2007, then others in 2009, & 2011.

Not entirely

but anticipating the soon-to-be-savoured work product of football journalists who operate without fear or favour

HaHaHa.

No I was suggesting a few days ago that I thought the Cats were looking blunt, stale, over the last couple of times I've caught a few minutes watching them. Normally when they are struggling backs against the wall, these modern Cat teams usually respond.

not this time. not much fight.

Sydney's half back line ripped the Cats apart. Their rebound and run through the middle was intense.

Dont forget we have Vlad to thank for PJ, and therefore The Messiah.

We have Vlad to thank for tarnishing our name and dragging us through the tanking saga.

Over 10 sides tanked before us and some more blatantly, yet Vlad decides to drag our name through the mud.

Roos and PJ are great, but the damage the tanking saga done to MFC is irreversible.

Dont you mean Adrian Anderson? Vlad was on holidays mate, he dodged the tanking questions like Mayweather for years, AA wanted to be a big shot and prove himself.

Northern Queensland Cairns/Townsville I reckon will be their next target.

After that they'll either look to Tassie or NZ for a 20th team. Tassie if they just want a smooth transition. New Zealand if they want to go international which I don't believe they're that keen on doing, but we'll see.

If Vlad wanted to stop the tanking investigation into MFC, he could've.

In the end, the evidence wasn't there - yet they still handed down fines, Vlad isn't a guy who goes by the book, he is a guy who answers to no one.

    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
