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.

This is what other supporters must have felt when watching Melbourne with so many dud players and very little prospects for the future.

Abject boredom with some mild relief that it's not them?

I reckon Gibbs is worth a first round pick to a good side, but the blues need to be aggressive at the trade table and get some decent young talent in

Not based tonight's game he's not. Long way off his best.

Micks got the record now it's time to go, clearly not working.

The Malthouse chosen game a is boring life's affair. The Blues are a steaming, stinky rubbish tip on fire. Well done Mick.

Bring the Dees back to Friday nights!!!

Cameron Ling doesn't know the rules of the game either, you are not allowed to be bumped of the ball is not within 5m Cam.

Good call 'Cards', was saying exactly the same thing to a mate...but it's not just Ling it's the other commentators who agreed and the umps who are not paying it.

Yeah, ain't it great?

I wouldn't mind poaching Cripps from them.

Beat me to it 'Fester'...probably the only one of their players worth poaching at the moment. Looks like he will be a beauty.

Carlton making Collingwood look better than they are.

Yep, they've got Geelong, Richmond, GC, North then us. North will give them a physical game if nothing else then they ours for the taking. Viney and Jetta will be back and barring no further injuries were a massive chance.

I've been saying for a while that Collingwood will be good. Unlike a lot of teams, they got rid of their good players while they still had some value (as much as it has hurt them in recent years).

They have a lot of good kids, plus a few who haven't played. The win over the Bombers took most by surprise but wins over Saints/lions/Carlton aren't an accurate gauge. Next week interesting vs Geelong. A team on the way up v one on the way down.

Agree entirely.

I've been rambling on about this ever since the fixture came out but Carlton wasn't even any good last year, they should never have gotten close to 6 Friday nights (+ a Thursday night). It's indefensible that the football public has to be repeatedly subjected to watching boring Friday night beltings (the remaining games include Carlton away to Sydney and a Hawthorn v Carlton game - those are going to be enormous thrashings).

It only adds insult to injury that Melbourne, the Bulldogs and GWS have improved to the point where games involving them would be competitive, maybe even exciting, and definitely a lot closer than Carlton v Sydney/Hawthorn.

Nobody panic about Friday night Carlton withdrawals in the next fortnight after Collingwood v Geelong next week, as normal service resumes the week after with Carlton v Geelong on Friday. And guess what follows that? Sydney v... Carlton. Don't worry though, Carlton is back on Friday nights in Round 17 against... Hawthorn.

FMD I'm glad this fixturing completely blew up in Seven's face after completely screwing us and the Bulldogs over. Something like 7 Friday night games each for Richmond, Carlton and Collingwood, of which only one team is any good. So much for needing to "earn" Friday nights!

Can't believe the Pies picked up Grundy at pick 18! He will be the best ruck man in the comp b the end of next year, if not this year. We haven't had a good ruck men since Jeff White (no offence to Jamar I like his effort but he isn't in the same league).

    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.
