Our lack of run and pressure allowed the good Norfolk to emerge. Brisbane are fierce at the contest with a superior work rate.

I do not rate him as a coach/manager at all. He never looks like he's in control, and I think he's part of the reason they are so erratic.

One day Brad Scott's head will explode in the box

I think we can talk about how bad our drafting/trading has been for ever and a day but really we all know how pathetic we have been and what's the point.

We can't change it and it's just getting really tiresome.

Don't get me wrong dd I'm not having a go at u (& I am guilty of it too) but I am over ALL our bad draft decisions.

It's in the past and can not be changed.

We r now in 2014 have a new regime in charge and for the first time in a long time I have complete faith in their ability.

IMO it's time for all of us to move on.

how was brad scott avoiding the question when asked what he said to Rockcliff. That was crap when he said he was congratulating him and some others.

Did it during Brown's speech too, his old teammate.

I hope Rockliff makes it known what was actually said. Brad Scott couldn't be a more detestable bloke.

This might be a weird question, but does anyone else think that Tippett may be in a bit of trouble (or get points) from the MRP?

He deliberately stuck his leg/knee out and collected Shaw in the head. How is this any different than if someone chose to hip'n'shoulder but made contact with the oppositions head?

We are a bottom four side. That is now obvious.

Yes there has been improvement but in 2012-13 we were sitting outside the AFL Comp.

Beat the Westies at Etithing and i could change my thinking.

Pretty much sums it up I think, based on form it's the only conclusion

I think no surely you have the right to protect yourself from an on coming charge but then again we have the MRP.

Beat me to it. What exactly was Neeld's philosophy, other than pissing everyone off?

It would be interesting were he wearing the red n blue - the MRP seem to find it amusing to try new stuff out on us.

Brad Scott - once a bully always a bully.

He will never admit (or even get) that he was way out of line. At most he will make a joke of it.

Well done Tom Rockliff for defusing the situation.

    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

    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
