You need a Demonland holiday Bitter. Give up your weak attempts at abuse and contribute something football for once

How many more holidays can you get when you have when you work in education?

• Toumpas lacks the athletic traits to make it IMO. Particularly given he panics.

Saying this after the last fortnight simply shows your bias. The last two weeks Toumpas has shown great gut-running and increased courage.

That's the kind of improvement that warrants re-selection. Same with Grimes, he is showing an increased tendency to take the game on and not to resort to backwards/sideways dinky kicks that he isn't capable of executing. That kind of improvement should be rewarded at the moment.

I'd like to see TMac take Cloke, Dunn should be more than enough for White, I'd put McDonald on Elliot, Jetta on Blair and Fitzy on the resting ruck.

McDonald's good, but I'm not sure he can take Cloke and Elliot at the same time...

Just gone off you Biffen. Teachers on Demonland provide the intelligent, considered opinions plus we correct your spelling mistakes. For those tasks alone we need 10 weeks annual leave.

You must be joking! "Toumpas has shown great gut running and increased courage""

1 Gut running doesn't mean you get the ball! 14 disposals hardly shows how this factor is critical!

2 Increased Courage?? Was it lacking from the start?? What has happened in the last fortnight that it has suddenly increased? More spinach or Nutra grain perhaps??

3 FWIW if you want to highlight some qualities which should be non negotiables, then lets go back to under 14 footy! eh?

And if our guy had grabbed the one on one (can't remember who it was) and ran on to goal it would have been a stroke of genius.

IIRC he did something similar the previous week, successfully, and was lauded for it.

Such a fine margin between success and failure.

And of course far easier in retrospect

I think it was Bail who didnt contest Must watch it again. he had no body in front of Him

You must be a sad lonely old folk thats got nothing better to do but sink the boots into Toumpas at every little opportunity you get. This clearly proves you haven't watched the game and you go by stats and what other write on here.

Time to give yourself a rest on here PF. Maybe take up a new hobby? Even better go do us all a favour and support another team?

Because its quite obvious hey the name Jimmy Toumpas makes you go grey and wrinklier all the time.

And of course Dazzleman if you say it is so, then it surely is because as we all know, we don't need a google function on "Land" we got good ol rose colored glasses know it all Dazzle man! Wow you must feel so fantastic about your own "Precious" opinions! Gee in a previous life you might have been someone of "Rare" importance with your ah "Considered and extremely valuable opinions" Clearly!

I would Hope DD can back up his unqualified support for Toumpas and Jack Watts.

There is a reality DD they are not playing well, no where near what is required and hoping they will is not enough and some on here should be allowed to say it without being shot down

Hang on a minute. I haven't had a holiday since April and now I've got another three and a half weeks before I get another couple of weeks off. Fair go! What do you expect of us? We spend our days with kids ffs..

Fark the haters.

Reverend I knew there was a problem with HER last advise. She did not tell you which team would win.

I have almost lost all faith in her predictions

Where to from here?

There's nothing wrong with not rating Toumpas highly (I don't either), we just don't need to read about it every second thread.

Exactly.

Its getting beyound disgraceful when that muppet berates him when its not even necessary.

To avoid being totally massacred (12 goals or more)...

OUT: Soft Cox & the bottom end of the NQRs

IN: Tough nuts & other marginally better NQRs (even if they have less perceived talent than the soft cok NQRs)

Of course everyone is allowed to have a say. Thats not the issue.

The issue is at every single chance he gets PF will sink his sad little boots into him. He has a serious hate for him and everyone on demonland knows it. Even against the WB he still gave him a clip when it was clearly his best game for the club.

The kid could come out and get 36 disposals and kick 5 goals and he would still find a way to give him a kick.

    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
