Barrett says it's pretty bleak.

Of course he does. He hates Melbourne. Four eyed [censored].

The only thing I really agree with from Plough is our depth - it's a concern, but bringing in 3 players in that 21-24 bracket and drafting another quality player will help us greatly in that regard.

I can't get excited by Kennedy of Bugg.

Kennedy is a small NQR midfielder and Bugg a strong bodied defender/tagger who'd be fringe best 22.

I understand we need better depth, but all I can conclude is that this draft must be an absolute stinker.

can you get excited by not having bail, mac, etc any longer? change is healthy, same old, same old, no change is un-healthy.

Warrior is already talking Hoges out of contract scenarios. Saying he shouldn't sign under any circumstances until he sees the coaching management structure from 2017 onwards. Jog on, Warrior.

Who is warrior?

Hogan 44 goals

Garlett 40 goals

Daylight..

Nathan jones 12 goals..

While its not disaster i can see where he is coming from. If a garlett or hogan goes down with injury we are screwed. Need more firepower up forward.

Getting the ball inside 50 ten to fifteen more times a game will help a lot also.

You can have all the fire power in the world in the forward line but if the opportunities aren't there....

The GC trade has got to happen.

I can't see any positives coming out of the filth.

They can't beat what we have on the table, Kennedy does not cut it.

If we can close the GC deal and end up with Pick 3, I'd be inclined then to grab Treloar f$&k those filthy.

I know you all think Curnow, but Treloar is for the now.

i listened to wallace's thoughts and sadly can't fault anything that he said.. feeling pretty deflated right now. and anyone that disagrees with the general sentiment of what he said is surely looking through red and blue glasses. we are looking to merely maintain ladder position, treading water.. not sure what kind of draft pick the club will look at securing to attack our weaknesses..all quite depressing really :-/

Have to agree 'Rocky'. Can't say there is much to disagree about what was said.

The only thing keeping my chin up is the hope that we do something significant next week.

Hoping, hoping...hoping it isn't forlorn...

We will improve next year thru the increased experience of our young players and hopefully fewer injured players.

But atmo I can't see it being much more than maintaining our position as others will also improve.

That is such a pessimistic view. We now have some up and coming players which we did not have before. We can all list their names compared to what went before. So to think we won't improve you have to assume that all the other clubs around us on the ladder also have the same potential for improvement. I see no reason to assume that so I will not wallow in pessimism thanks.

Hard to argue that our forward line hasn't been hopeless in recent years - mostly on the back of poor delivery from an ordinary midfield and poor skills off the half backline.

Thought Harmes showed some promise as a half forward and Kent will be handy if he gets his body right. I believe Petracca likes a goal as well.

Not convinced about JKH as a forward, so another small quick forward would be handy.

Ask Bewick about Petracca - that will improve your confidence that 2016 will be better.

Thats good. But hasn't played a game. Dont expect a Hogan like year from Trac though. Its ridiculous the amount of expectations on this kids shoulders already.

    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
