Richmond are just mediocre, plain and simple, so many Richmond supporters carrying on like us beating them is a once off blip and yet we beat them last year on a big day for their club, and in the NAB cup before that!

Joel Selwood is a great player, but the ducking is just ridiculous, it's staging plain and simple, nothing brave about it, he drops he knees to get soft free kicks, he does it over and over again year after year, the umpires are aware but they just allow it to continue

It's a bit like the war between Iran and Irak in the 80s. Nobody cares much who wins.

You know what.. for all the [censored] Jack Watts cops for being soft how Bryce Gibbs gets under the rader mind boggling.

And Seven have 4 more of these shitfest Carlton Friday night matches to look forward to! Meanwhile, talented young lists like Melbourne, GWS and the Bulldogs have none. Some fantastic forward planni

I think people have really under estimated the pies and how good they are. they sit at the top 4-1.

also the loser out of cats tigers today may also get some attention especially if the tigs lose again.

I agree they're performing better than we all expected, but we do need to keep perspective over who they've beaten: Brisbane, Carlton and St Kilda are the three worst sides in the competition. The fourth win was against Essendon which is a good win but the Bombers didn't show up at all on ANZAC day. I'm still wary on declaring Collingwood a genuine finals threat.

4-1 for the Doggies and Collingwood... season definitely unravelling differently to what I expected.

If GWS get up tonight we're in uncharted territory. Hopefully it eggs on the team, maybe the gap between the best and worst isn't as large as Roosy keeps insisting (personally I hope he stops trotting that line out, it's just an out for the players when they don't perform).

It's great for the competition that the Dogs and GWS are now able to push the better sides.

If we can do the same tomorrow, then I'll be happy with adding us to that list of up and coming sides, and the AFL can further be ridiculed for its appallingly biased scheduling.

Meanwhile, pre-season we thought we had it easy with our repeat games, partly because we rated the Dogs as bottom 4 and GWS and Collingwood not far in front. Turns out we have three clubs who could all be 4-1 after 5 rounds, plus Fremantle who could be 5-0, as our repeat games (plus St Kilda, which is handy). We actually could have a really difficult fixture as it turns out.

Carlton...the Leagues new basket case. They must really be feeling blue :)

Maybe beyond blue would be more to the point.

Funniest part of the night - seeing Geoff Edelsten in the box sitting behind Mick. Seriously WTF is going on there? Might explain how crap they are if he's giving Mick some mid game advice!

They love crooks at Princess Park

the Doggies are looking really good

. Nice to see them beating the Swans with their Franklin and Tippett gifts.

Lose a couple of games, a bit of outside pressure and they lash out. Couple of dog acts. Lewis should get a month for that strike.

Edit for spelling

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
