GAME DAY - Round 22

Probably yes, but countless equivalent infractions against us go completely ignored. It's pathetic the armchair ride some teams get.

Hawks getting raped as well tonight because the umps protect Geelong at all costs.

Hey, don't want to make a fuss or blow it out of scale, but really best not to use 'raped', y'know?

Keep in mind this performance comes flat on the heels of a performance our players themselves described as "unacceptable." If this is the response after being embarrassed for the umptineenth time, then where is the pride and self respect?

Where are we supporters supposed to find the passion to keep doing what we do when the players don't want to do what they're supposed to do?

I honestly would love to see a stat for the number of times a player loses his feet, I reckon Jack Watts would comfortably be the league leader.

He would defeat any able-bodied human being on the planet in that particular statistic.

Jack Watts: World Champion Faller-Over.

Yeah, why should I turn up every week and pay for it, when our players don't turn up when they get paid to do it?

I'm so sick and tired of supporting this club. I thought I would never feel as bad as I did last year, but this is a whole new low.

Autum leaves was what we called it.

After LeCras kicked that simple simple goal, you could see that James Frawley has just had enough of this shite. Throws his hands up in the air as if to say "I'm out."

Has anyone else been noting Frawley's performances lately with a kind of accepting sigh, and thinking "Well, he's not our problem any more"?

Email that in to the club, disgusting we contribute good money year after year and get this [censored] served up to us, at least under Bailey we tried to kick goals.

How often do our players run to one side when trying to tackle? Am I the only one who remembers the old method of aiming right at their hips?

Really not much to comment on in that quarter. We were diabolical, the umpiring was remarkable and the Weagles at least understand that you need to put the ball in front of a forward if they are going to mark it. One great play from Watts doesn't undo the crap he's dished up for the rest of the match. Fitz and Gawn both missed sitters. Michie continues to show hardness and game sense, Viney less so that quarter. Lots of nonsensical play from the rest. Fumbles are still costing us badly, perhaps none more so that Dunn's admittedly difficult chance at HB.

Pretty much since round one when we lost to the Saints, then solidified the last time WCE thrashed us by 100 points.

Good to see we've made absolutely no progress throughout the whole year as we back that up tonight with another 100 point loss.

We learned nothing when we played to GWS for the second time this year. We learned nothing when we played the Bulldogs for the second time. We will have learned nothing from our loss to Norf, that'll be abundantly clear next week.

The only thing worse than Melbourne tonight is the commentary team of Brereton and Shaw. Our football is disgraceful, but I won't even try to put my view of those two into words.

    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
