Leave Caro alone.

She's done well in a mysogynistic industry.

She's enough I turn anyone misogynist. Don't you remember how she put the boots into MFC over the past 2-3 years? She didn't mention the tanking that her darling richmond club was involved in!

Are you suggesting that Grimes kick the ball to no-one in particular/vacant ground 25 metres in from the boundary. As much as Roos wouldn't have liked the kick out of bounds on the full I'm damned sure he wouldn't like that idea at all.

No I'm not. Why would you suggest that?

I am saying that he didn't need to pinpoint Bail (I think it was) 1cm from the boundary. Dumb decision. Poor execution. Could have easily kicked the ball 10-15m inside the boundary.

Is there something about that you don't quite understand? Its Saturday morning and I have a bit of time on my hands. Happily give you further explanation of footy basics.

Yeah, I remember all that - IIRC, the MFC were travelling beautifully?

Apologies for the sarcasm, but she's a footy journo - they're pretty much all the same.

The MFC need to suck it up and get better!!

If the umps were allowed to exercise any common sense no way that was a free against Watts - it was the perfect spoil.

IF they pay every free strictly per the rule book there would be over 100 per game.

Everyone seems to be missing the point. He got to the ball first. That is the name of the game. The subsequent feather touch to WIngard is almost irrelevent in those circumstances.

Let me put it another way. If Vickery last night hit the ball first and subsequently hit Cox after it would be play on. No difference here.

Precisely, so why are you saying to leave her alone?

She should cop her fair share along with Barrett and Hutchy - they're all leeches.

Agree. He hit the ball away off his wrist first. That meant that Wingard could never have marked the ball. Therefore the incidental contact to Wingard which he totally acted up, making it look like he was shot, did not constitute an illegal mark spoil. However if even after that the umpire felt constrained to award a free, how could 3 incompetent umpires miss the blatant drag around the neck to Pedersen, as he attempted to mark about 15 metres out straight in front. Even all of the commentators said it was blatant as did Murphy and Lewis on AFL360. Oh and by the way on TV the umpire is shown about 10 metres away staring straight at it.

Link me to posts that attack her based on gender? I haven't seen any.

Let's imagine what her offspring look like.

Really?

I don't expect you to get it.

Both of you need to grow up.

The MFC hasn't done itself any favours over the last decade and the scrutiny was deserved.

Not on a personal level it wasn't.

Wilson attacked individuals everyday last year.

Where was the return fire??

Her attacks on Dane Swan's private affairs? When has he ever returned a comment?

That same joke was also directed at Barrett and it doesn't target gender at all.

Supporting Neeld for so long must have sent you loopy.

what i love about all the footy journos in this town is that they all think they know everything, and then when something truly momentous happens - buddy to sydney, peptides scandal, lyon defecting to freo - they have NO IDEA whatsoever.

i'm convinced a vast majority get their rumour and innuendo straight from message boards such as demonland.

Ha!

I must be having trouble understanding the ramblings of an intellectual minnow.

What a disappointment.

I know that.....

What's your point?

I'm saying that the 'jokes' aimed at Caro are not funny, irrelevant to her profession as a journo and mysogynistic.

and i am saying they are directed at her profession.

She digs hard. She cops return fire.

    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

    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.
