To half time Melbourne has turned the ball over 7 times and the Roos have scored 7 goals from it.

We need to tighten up big time in the second half.

Also think Mckenzie might be in a bit trouble with the elbow to Thomas(I think) face who went down like a cheap suit.

The only thing I can think for his defence is that he was trying to tackle another player and swung his arm around to effect the tackle.

Just saw the replay of the incident and he wasn't trying to tackle and will get a couple I would think.

IMO he should be let off just cause of who he hit.

The umpires my god can they actually see or are they blind.

My god they have been deplorable.

Cannot believe they are sponsored by OPSM. Hopefully it includes a free eye check.

Half-time and we're only 14 points down despite being smashed for the second week in a row. We need to grow a collective brain during the break and play the way Roosy wants us to. Clean up our disposal and we can beat this umpire-loving, free-kick staging bunch of girlie-boys.

This is everything wrong with Grimes' game, it's ok to critique it as a collective but not single someone out because they're a captain?

Grimes and Garland killing us with mistakes across half back. Garland was so reliable the last couple of years, been woeful since returning this year.

I'd move Garland forward to man up their spare man, could take a mark and kick a lucky goal.

Far too many passengers. Cross and Jones keeping us in it.

Scott Thompson is an actor, who dived down and Dawesy clipped him.
Thompson was a major [censored] when i use to play against him in junior footy and he is a [censored] now still.
He actually broke my arm when i was younger by swing tackling me after i got rid of the ball, there's a fun fact for ya.

Apart from the usual cr@p kicks and turnovers, we are also playing extremely loose.

This reminds me a lot of last week. If we don't start to control the midfield we will get smacked.

God damn I loath North Melbourne. A bunch of sooks. Lindsay Thomas needs a good smack in the face!

People are pretty personal with Grimes. Critiquing the team is appropriate because the whole team is guilty of it. Critiquing Grimes is also appropriate, but I don't think it needs to be so harsh.

Good to know you don't hold a grudge 'Song'.

What a [censored].

Scott Thompson, Brent Harvey, Lindsy Thomas.

Easy to see why people dislike North.

Love it how Lindsy stayed down for about 30 seconds before getting up. You just know that he is a soft [censored].

North: the team of stagers, divers and divas. Good to see Kent give that dumbass ump a serve for that idiotic ducking free kick paid against him.

Of course, umps are so blind they fall for their Oscar worthy performances week in, week out. Fortunately you can't act your way into a premiership, which they'll never get close to.

Oh how I'd love to win today just to get them out of the top 8, yet the result would be Essendon moving to 8th place. What a miserable conundrum.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
