Love watching this every year. Obviously I look out for the Melbourne boys.

Robbo knocked himself trying to take an absolute screamer! Davey could still get a game for us he is still a lethal kick. Love watching my all time favourite player the WIZ Farmer!

Btw Crawf hasn't lost any of his touch. Still a gun.

Would be better if they all dressed in clown suits and ran around throwing cream pies and pulling each other's pants down. Terrible match, embarrassing. Just needs canned laughter to complete the cringeworthness. Sorry to rain on your parade Dazz.

Lighten up a bit mate. Once you realise that it's not meant to be a serious game with fast ball movement and good skills, it's actually pretty enjoyable to watch. All just a bit of fun for a good cause

Have to agree. Even the commentators were taking the pizz out of Russell Gilbert for doing the same jumper swap gag every year. And it was ironic that Shane Crawford and 1 or 2 others took the fun out of the game by actually playing football. It really was cringeworthy.

Not sure why Moonie has to bring the image of pulling mens pants down into the discussion (tells us something about him I suppose) but I do agree with his contention - these games are singularly unfunny.

Where did I say I expected a serious game with fast ball movement? Try not putting words into other's mouths mc.

Good cause, yes. Fun to watch, no. Cringeworthy, definitely.

Trust you to bring smut into the thread. Have a look at your own avatar before casting nasturtiums.

26000 people and great rating suggest it still as popular as ever, maybe even more so.

i liked it, was fun, not everything in life has to be perfect.

Wasn't putting words in your mouth. Your post just came across as if you thought the game wasn't 'serious' enough so they might as well go to the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

To everyone calling to scrap it thats just ridiculous. Look how much money it raises for prostate cancer. Its a bit of a laugh for 2 hours. I think it was great for someone like the whiz to participate.

I think we can put up with it once a year.

I get it. You weren't putting words into my mouth, but you assumed something I thought which I didn't. Rightio.....

Game should be scrapped, just a bunch of old hacks running around.

Let it go. You had your time. Let it go.

Irony.

These blokes are providing entertainment and contributing to a cause at the same time.

I don't dispute the cringe-worthiness of it all but I do manage to look past it and appreciate it for what it is, and meant to be.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
