GAMEDAY - Round 17



Recommended Posts

Great comeback second term keeping them goalless,can't believe we're still in this,a top 6 side would have 15 goals on the board.

Saints pressure definitely dropped off but our kicking is killing us again.

We've got this

Jeez would it hurt to throw Vandenberg in the middle to get him into the game? We drafted him as an inside ball winning machine and the Einsteins think its best to plonk him in the forward line.. unbelievable

Btw this game plan is a bag of horse [censored]

Clearly what we do defensively works.

It's just a shame what we do the other way doesn't.

Jordan Lewis was on the ABC yesterday. Said this EXACT thing. Bad sides have to get defense right, then figure out ways to score. When they get that far then they can think about being more attacking to make the other team defend.

We are now at step 2 in the process. It's not as bad as it seems today

We have gotten nothing from Brayshaw, Garlett, Hogan and Vandenberg

Lift boys come on

Rubbish. Brayshaw is always at the ball and knows how to tackle. More than most of the nuffers in this team.

I used to tape our games and keep our wins but this year I have deleted them all (including previous years) because I just don't see us ever getting better and these bictories seem hollow.

Again today we keep making poor decisions and inaccurate executions, everyone is guilty.

Watched the Doggies v Coll game and both these playing groups are miles ahead of us unfortunately.

I have said this so many times, but until we get players who can dispose of ball correctly, by hand and foot, we will be a bottom team.

We are losing this game because of atrocious disposal, including kicking for goal, poor tackling that still allows the ball to be disposed of and a lack of running to make position.

On a nice dry track. Hardly apples..............

Weak, pathetic, incompetent, lethargic, unacceptable, disgraceful., hopeless, weak willed, negligent, heartless, prosaic, half baked, useless, timid, unskilled, leaderless, rubbish, negligent, putrid, egregious, pusillanimous, gangrenous - and that's a list of the positives.

Trouble is I think we have been at step 1 or 2 since 2012!

If you take your eyes off the stat sheet, Watts' decisonmaking and execution has been terrible, and he still tackles like a wet lettuce.

Jetta, Grimes, Dunn (mostly), Gawn, Brayshaw and Stretch get pass marks.

    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
