Watching those two sides making mistake after mistake,gives me a lot of belief about our team and how good we could possibly be.

Very poor standard game. Both teams constantly missed targets by hand and foot. Reminded me of Melbourne a couple of years ago. I reckon both teams will be at the bottom of the eight at best.

Agreed.  Was looking forward to seeing a high standard game between two classy outfits.  Was left feeling totally under-whelmed!  Definitely not a performance befitting the top two teams on the ladder...!

Looking forward to a much better game today!

Norf play one game on the MCG, against Hawthorn where they will probably be running out of puff and get flogged.

Playing indoors all winter will not help their cause.  They will flake out.   Have faith!!

Don't worry. By round 10 Hawthorn will have started an unstoppable roll towards another flag and everything will return to normal. 

Seriously though, while the game last night was rubbish, it was one game and it happens sometimes. It doesn't undo the good work both these teams have done to get where they are. I'm reluctant to dismiss either side as contenders just on the back of one game, even if that game was awful.

It also shows that even decent sides play shocking games sometimes. North were a long way off, but Footscray outdid them for being off the boil. I hope everyone has learned their lesson and I never see a "we won, but we'd never have beaten xxx side playing that way" after a narrow win ever again.

North are a good side playing good footy.

 

Dogs are a super promising side playing promising footy.

 

We are an emerging side playing decent football.

 

Hawks, Swans are experienced and strong sides quietly going about their business and should both be top four by season's end.

 

North should too, really, given their start to the season but may drop off as the year goes on. Who knows at this stage!

Glad someone else it it.

Was thinking something similar on the Round 6 thread.

The doggies played some of the dumbest footy i have ever seen last night, and i'm a Melbourne supporter so I know dumb play.

At least when we just bomb it long inside 50 we have a key forward to target.

OP is delusional if he thinks 1 game can determine the premiership chances of a team. Both the Roos and Dogs are chances of making the top 4, which gives them a shot at the flag.

We'll struggle to make the eight, so to think that we are contenders based on one game is laughable.

Going by this thread, the 8 is decided.... North, Dogs, Hawks, Swans, Cats, Crows... So it seems we can qualify to be the also rans with one other team. I feel like Eagles will get one with their home ground advantage... The other you'd think would be GWS.

No way Blues, Pies, Tigers, Suns, Dons, Dockers or Lions are getting past us.

Makes us 9th, 10th or 11th with Port and Saints. It's a step.

    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
