Two good teams going at it in a close, exciting contest? Yawn. When do Carlton get thrashed?

I did too, but in my mind I associate Rivers with the Daniher era, which feels like such a long time and so much pain ago now that I'm able to let it go. Happy that he's had the opportunity to play o

I hope to hell that our guys are made to watch this game as a group. They might see just what sustained intensity really looks like.

Finals like pressure

Must admit I have never had a man crush on an opposition player but I think I have one on Wines.

Reminds me a lot of Viney.

Our Jackie boy is much better than that! If he had those numbers our great fans would be burning down the gates of the G. Todos son and all.

No thanks, I'll keep Jackie Boy.

So infuriating that a team like Geelong almost seem to have transitioned from the old into the new seamlessly. Their intensity and pressure tonight is immense.

Shudder to think what a team playing like this will do to us next week.

Bloody hell, how good is Blicavs??

He's an absolute ripper and love watching him play.

Who I hate watching is Rivers. Loved him as a player for us and it's hard watching him playing good footy at another team

Hey PF, SWYL and cronies, the humble pie is baking nicely boys. See you at Etihad late Sunday arvo you drop kicks. It will be ready for you to munch on.

Lots of interesting disussion about the tactics teams are using to stop Port's gameplan this year. I don't think they've necessarily gotten worse as a team, but everyone's just worked out the game plan.

The fast running, very offensive team from last year took the league by surprise (as did the Bulldogs early this season), but Roos definitely led the way in stopping their run. You flood the corridor and make their quick kicking style impossible with lots of contests and manning up. Geelong did an exemplary job of this tonight, and deserved that win.

Great to see Clark miss out on it, too. In fact, they are playing better without him.

I clearly remember posters here saying about six years ago that the game was too quick for him.

Blicavs is quality but the media's love affair with him is nearing Rioli levels. Did I hear Ling declare him to be better than Jim Stynes or did I mishear?

Channel 7 commentators are the kings of hyperbole. Awful.

The always-impartial Tim Watson was talking about how Geelong are now apparently eyeing off top 4 after tonight. Staggering.

    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.
