I'm waiting for the reality bus to arrive..It's scheduled for around 9:00pm tonight, however I am desperately hoping it gets cancelled.

My usual hope against the Eagles is that Jack Watts kicks the after-the-siren-winning-goal after taking mark of the year on top of Nic Nat's head. But football does seem trivial given the events of th

Viney's touched kick high into our forward line.

4 Melb players tackle the WC player who "marked" the ball

The WC player gets the handball away to one of the THREE FREE WC players

DUMB

Rinse and repeat stuff.

They never, ever learn from it.

They're not a class above they're just playing smarter more disciplined footy. It ain't rocket science.

I don't think I've seen one MFC kick to Dawes or Hogan all season that matches half a dozen or so I've seen to Darling or Kennedy tonight alone. They're most certainly a class above.

Would you prefer him to not contest the mark? Dunn did exactly as he should. The Umpire paid a shocker. Don't blame the player for the [censored] the umpires are dishing up.

It's a 50m penalty every day of the week.. He blatantly pushed him in the back after he took the mark. Absolute stupidity from Dunn snuffed out any chance we had

I just tuned in briefly to see that mark to Kennedy. Dunn's attempt to cover him was insipid.

Not just dumb - selfish. Too often when the going gets tough our players resort to fending for themselves. We're not tackling well tonight so off they all go trying to get a tackle. Not playing team football.

At some point we have to rid ourselves of this individualistic, selfish football and stick to playing as a team. We win as a team, we lose as a team. I can't stand it when we are overrun because our players stop doing the team things and start doing what they think they need to do themselves.

Don't be daft he pushed him straight in the back - Dunn is an idiot.

Of course he did. It's a free kick any day of the week. It's not 50m though. His option was to give away the free or not contest at all. He did the right thing, provided the contest he could and slowed down the play. The push was in the marking contest. Pay a free or a mark, but it's not even close to 50m.

In all reality we are playing a team that is 3rd on the ladder. They should put away a team like us. But Id like to think we have improved and at least stuck with them.

Maybe having the bye wrecked our momentum. Instead of going into this game the week after our win against geelong we have the week off and lose it.

I just hope our players arent stuffed because we need our energy to beat the bummers next week.

Look at the time and space they have. Masten drilled one in before because there was no Melbourne player within 10 metres of him. Give most of our players that much time and they'll hit our forwards on the [censored] to.

Poor from Stretch, gave off the handball and didn't bother with the shepherd. He left Vince to be squashed like a bug.

Terrible... really left him open.

He's a kid and will learn

But I despair for our club. We've been down for so long.

    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
