Thought Terls was a bit stiff too.

Got quite a lot of turnovers on the weekend.

Yeah it looks that SWYL - I don't understand the changes. Maybe there are some injuries we don't know about?

after last weeks lame effort i will pleasantly suprised if we win another game this year.

I mean we LOST to half a side of damaged footballers last week.

That 3rd quarter was an absolute shambles

Do these employees of ours ever learn anything??

There is little evidence to suggest they do.

This is just the sort of game where a young nobody, like Daniel McStay, will bob up and kick 5-6 goals and be a match winner too.

Always happens to us Wisblood.

Just like we play teams and players who have been horribly out of form into form.

At least we are consistent!

FMD it's hard following this team.

I want Kent and Salem back, but I also want a million dollars, so you know, tough luck.

As it stated in the paper today, this club has achieved nothing since Neale Daniher.

I expect nothing from this team anymore, last weekend was the last straw.

All talk no walk!!!

See yas later.

Feel for the Toump. Stretchie has similar numbers or less. Not anymore goals. Less tackles and just as many clangers and is still in. Love Stretchie. feel Toump's card also marked now. Back to shitilaide young fella.

Stretch does the same job as the Toump but without the turnovers/clangers.

After last weeks terrible loss the doom and gloom feeling is well and truly back. What we dished up was a disgrace, Roos knows it and the players know it. It's all about how they respond, the Lions will feel they're a chance but we have to get back our early season form of starting confidently and putting on early scoreboard pressure.

This is our must win. We win and season expectations are back on track, we lose and it's back to square one.

Cant believe nobody was dropped after last week......what do you have to do to get dropped, refuse to take the field?

It says a lot doesn't it, but it says even more about those who don't make the team this week.

Watched our Forward line coach interviewed last night

very ordinary performance I must say.

I think we may need to replace him if that's as good as it gets

Pathetic apologist

Followed by Nate Jones. Again no explaination as to why the team didn't come to play and the appalling on field leadership

What can they say " we are seriously short of talent", "Dawes is hopeless and I have no idea why we pay him so much"?

That would go done well with this group with eight games to go.

    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
