Derwayne: "You'd think if the Bombers lose to Melbourne next week, there may be some questions asked..."

Matthew Lloyd on 3AW just then: "On paper, next week we have a very winnable game."

Smash these [censored], Dees!

This is the kind of disrespectful stuff I can't stand.

What they mean by 'on paper' is that the paper says the opponent is 'Melbourne'.

In reality, on paper our side is better than theirs.

We have a lot of work to do to get the respect of the AFL public back. Winning this weekend is a non-negotiable start. Beating Brisbane the week after would help.

Great gesture by both teams at the end of the game

You know you're a Melbourne supporter when you're already feeling extremely nervous about playing a horrible Bombers side next week instead of looking forward to it!

Firstly, they only have 5 wins. Secondly, they literally have no injuries. This is as good as their list gets right now. Thirdly, they still rely on their older players and premiership players (Riew

I'd have been a lot more confident of a good showing next weekend, if we hadn't played in Darwin this week.

Backing up the next week is always bloody hard. The AFL continues to perplex with scheduling us for the Darwin game a week after the bye???

Maybe it's a good thing, as excuses aside, we will truly see who wants to be an MFC player this coming game.

Someone needs to tell that [censored] Lloyd that his joke of a club have beaten us just once since 2010 and we have been horrid in that time, yet we still own them.

Their only win over us was in 2013 when they were juiced up with god knows what substances.

Christ I hope we annihilate them on Saturday,

Yep, hopefully someone at the club has the sense to be recording a lot of these delusional Bomber apologist comments. Think it's about time this club stood up and made a point.

I just expect arrogance or stupidity to flow from Dwayne's mouth everytime he opens it. The man is an imbecile.

They are on their knees and we need to follows the Saints' example. 10 goals minimum.

Lions in front at quarter time.

Good on us for trying to be different and NOT trying to cause an upset this weekend.

We're usually predictably predictable at sucking in those weird rounds full of upsets.

At least we pinched the win against Geelong.

Wow what the hell happened in the Bombers/Saints game? I don't know whether to be concerned or glad that we're playing the bombers next week.

Coming off Darwin, plus they'll be out to prove a point. We'd better be ready to play.

Firstly, they only have 5 wins.

Secondly, they literally have no injuries. This is as good as their list gets right now.

Thirdly, they still rely on their older players and premiership players (Riewoldt, Montagna, Dempster, Ray, Schneider, Gilbert).

Fourthly, they've beaten Essendon (awful, and bottom 6), us (bottom 6), Gold Coast (bottom 6), Brisbane (bottom 6) and the Dogs. Funnily enough, we've also beaten the Dogs and GC, haven't had the chance to beat Brisbane or Essendon yet, and we've beaten Geelong (in Geelong) and Richmond as well.

Overall, I'd rather be us than St Kilda.

They were having a winge the other week that they couldnt bring a player in because he was on the rookie list and they had no injuries.

Rookie rules need to change. Their poor rookie wasnt allowed to play becuase of the stupid rules, and they need to be looked at.

I couldnt [censored] believe it.

Freo doubled their own score in the last qtr to beat Lions by 6 goals.

Freo have a tough game vs Hawks next week

Hawks played fri night in perfect conditions while Freo had a tough, energy sapping, wet slog today.

So Hawks have 2 days extra recovery.

Then Freo have to fly to Tassie.

Don't like their chances of beating the Hawks next week!

If Freo lose it will bring them back to the field (top 4 speaking) a little.

Jobe Watson only 9 possessions in his milestone game. After his cryptic comments earlier last week, I wonder if he is making a statement of sorts? Edited by america de cali

Or he is playing injured. Either way he seems to have lost a yard or two of pace and he seems totally out of the game mentally.

We can smash these guys next week.

    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
