Me and Roosy are Grimes apologists.

Not much that hadn't been covered already. Most notable was: - re the Wingard free, did not dispute that it was a free, but questioned whether one should have been awarded to Pedersen for a similar i

Most of you missed that he essentially said he is at the club until we don't want him anymore - he sounded like a Demon lifer from here. Who cares if he coaches for 3 years or 5 years - he is a Demon

Club stooping low to agree to this appearance.

I'll be well tucked up in bed and won't even bother recording this tripe. Right up there with TFS this rubbish.

The only one you left out was, "what did you make of <insert debatable umpiring decision>?"

When you think about it, the guy has the patience of a saint.

Shock horror the club willing to put the coach on one of the few rating footy programs.

It's basically free publicity to our sponsors and has to be done. But I doubt Roos will have much to say. At least he gets a chance to address questions from Hutchy and Wilson (and on the TFS Barrett). They might be bottom feeders but strangely they are granted a lot of influence and they can make life hard if they persistently peddle crap rumours. Unfortunately it's better to have them onside.

I would love to see Damien Barrett argue with Roosy about a topic

DB: is it correct the the club is looking to recruit Jeremy Cameron?

PR: no, it's categorically incorrect, we have had no contact with Jeremy, and we will not have any contact with Jeremy.

DB: but my sources tell me you have made him an offer and several news sources have reported the same thing...

PR: need to check your sources mate, i would be very surprised if the club is trying to recruit him behind my back.

the Dom Tyson trade is a good possibility if Barrett arks up

I think Roosy would be laughing to much to argue with purple on that one, he seems to find the critics on that one hilarious, what's dom averaging 25 touches and a goal a game? haha

Wouldn't mind Barrett being right on that one.

If Watts made contact with Wingard's head on the follow-through it's clearly a free kick.

If that's the case it's a terrible rule, it's essentially saying Watts should not try and spoil the ball incase he makes contact with someone afterwards, it's a mans game ffs, imo it was a terrible decision whether correct by the letter of the law or not, a match defining decision was made that penalised a player for attacking the ball 100% and rewarded a bloke for simply standing in the way.

Can someone explain to me how a penalty can be awarded against Watts for front end contact after punching the ball out. He made contact on the follow through. Is this correct?

Umpire didn't see it and guessed or he saw it and made an incorrect call. The only possible answers.

Umpires intimidated by the port crowd?

    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
