Are you there Caro?

Time to show how even handed you are in dealing out the crap that gets smeared on clubs in order to sell papers.

There are a lot more Blues fans than Demon fans. Should be good for the circulation figures.

Port playing like this is good for the finals if you're a neutral. They are looking dangerous, although their opposition have let them waltz around as they please.

Carlton were really on the up of late. This has been a shocking night for them.

Power are everything Melbourne aren't.

Hard to think they were with us down the bottom of the ladder 3 seasons ago.

Now look at where they are and where we r.

Bet Wines is happy he got picked up by them rather than us.

Blues have gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in the space of a week.

They were stiff not to beat one of the flag favs last week, now flogged by a side that struggled on both occasions in 2014 to beat the lowly Dees.

Funny game.

To be fair, we're not getting the grief from her that I've come to expect. You could go so far as to say she was actually being quite supportive (in Footy Classified that I've seen anyway).

So, in this instance, maybe 'Are you there Damian?' might be closer to the mark (or, 'Are you there Purple?')

Thank god we beat Carlton then.

I like watching Port play, but part of me is infuriated watching teams bottom out and skyrocket up the ladder so quickly while we continue to rot year in, year out.

Hard not to skyrocket with Boak, Hartlett, Wines and Wingard in the side.

Port were fortunate to get a top 5 kid in Polec for cheap and get Ebert dirtcheap.

SA sides only have to compete against each other when players want to come home.

Vic clubs have to compete with many more sides and the weak Vic clubs - like MFC - just are not a chance.

We got Dom Tyson and Bernie Vince at the end of last year and we will have $'s to spend on players coming on to our list.

Port did well to lift itself up by the bootstraps. It was a combination of many things including good recruiting, administration, player development, a top fitness coach, hard work and luck. The stars aligned for them in that regard and I hope they do well.

Having said that, we nearly beat them a month ago and I expect we will have a much better list at our disposal next year.

    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

    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
