It shows you how brilliant our supporter base is and exposes the fair weather supporter bases of these 'bigger' clubs. Carlton couldn't notch 25,000 fans last night and Essendon struggle to get 23,00

Tuned into tonight's game and must say in contrast to the above I am enjoying the contest, free flowing game, skills on full display from both sides and yes the scoring is a bit one sided but this is

Leadup TV prior to tonight's game, just corny crud. Carey and Ling J.sus H Christ. The host whatever his name is , well lets just say different and McAveny should be doing the races from Hong Kong.

Is this the best 7 can do?

Foxtel aren't doing much better. "Carlton have been really competitive winning 2 from their last 6"

Carlton are crap and will get smashed, just call it as it is.

Just listen to Ling tonight. The bloke LOVES the sound of his own voice and he spouts utter dribble, particularly early in the game when he tries to get across this fake excitement about what's happening on the field. It's horrible to listen to.

And he's the only boundary rider ever who's 'required' to speak every 30 seconds

Just then, Carlton had the ball on the half forward line, kicked it sideways (they had the ball for a long time) and then Buckley finally got the ball and kicked it long to the goal square, however the only players there were three Hawks.

Why do coaches allow their forwards to push so far up the ground?

Do they not want their forwards to kick goals?

It wasn't as if Carlton didn't have time to get back, this is exactly what is wrong with football today.

They'll be lucky to keep up for half a quarter. Let's hope the Hawks don't take it easy.

In other news, Tom Boyd was dropped.

Spot on they kept up for close to half a Q then it was all over...

Would like to see someone belt Gibson in the guts as pay back for earlier...

Tuned into tonight's game and must say in contrast to the above I am enjoying the contest, free flowing game, skills on full display from both sides and yes the scoring is a bit one sided but this is still a great spectacle. And I must say I really loved Ronaldo's goal for Madrid to go 2 up, football at its best.

With such a big soccer game on at the MCG right now this game is exactly the last thing the AFL needs right now.

Serves them right, they are directly responsible for this mess. Not only the dilution of talent across the league to protect their precious expansion experiment, but they scheduled Carlton 7 Friday night games. Laughably shortsighted and they deserve every shred of criticism they're getting.

Shocking for the competition. No joy in this even if it's Carlton. Only good footy news so far is the likelihood of GW$ losing Treloar because of the money Sheedy wasted trying to punish Melbourne.

Shocking how? Do the Hawks academy players or COLA?

    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
