Just when you think the enjoyment of the game is moving forward the umpires step in and put a halt on it. [censored] insipid how that did not pay holding the ball. [censored] need to wake up to t

Pies making the Dons look like a EFL team, if that.

How in gods name did we lose to such a shite team.....

That's what happens when selectors choose O Mac over Dunn

is there a possibility with the current software to put a 6 hour block on offending posters as soon as these weak ass, [censored] for tat defenses of fragile egos break out so that informative discussion of the topic at hand can be allowed to carry on unhindered. This garbage that's allowed to play out is a cancer to every discussion it invades. The rest of us aren't interested in watching these social misfits defending their little online kingdoms. We just want to talk football. 

Site admin, please look in to it. Freeze the offending posters for a few hours so by the time they can post again, the discussion has carried on beyond them.

I think this could be easily resolved by auto-correct.

When someone posts something that begins with "Shhheeeiiiiitttt" it auto-corrects the entire paragraph to "Jack Viney played a great game".

Just walked home from the Anzac Day clash with the pies leading the bombers by 12 goals at half time. I cannot believe that we let this rabble beat us in Round 2!

Losing against Essendon will cost us dearly this season. In such a tight competition, to lose to such a lowly rubbish team, is a sign that we don't really deserve to make finals yet. 

Will need to pull of another miracle win to make up for it.

Exactly right. We will need a 10 game winning streak at least to make up for it. Lotta teams play them twice...

We didn't turn up. If we played them next week we'd beat them easily.

and he's not nearly hard enough at the ball, he just wants soft kicks.

Well, they did beat us and there's nothing we can do about it.

Except use it as a spur to continue our good form, especially if we see other teams whipping them.

As others have said, it could end up being a virtue that they beat us. Knocked out any false confidence and forced us to bring the right attitude every week.

Can never understand this line of thought.

Who's to say the loss to Essendon hasn't directly resulted in the last three performances? Clearly something has switched because our last three games have been consistently good.

We'll never know. It was a [censored] loss. But to hell with living in the past. 

It gave the entire group the lift they needed.

If i were a pies supporter i'd be so annoyed with how they've gone to sleep here, they're going to turn what should have been a 120 point win into a 60 point win, and in a tight competition that's massive.

    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

    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
