Just watched this segment for the second time. Melbourne was not mentioned again. It's as though these [censored] have as much amnesia about the Demons as the French have about their German ancestry, witness Charlemagne, alias Carl Der Grosse.

Who gives a flying toss if we dont get a mentioned. Id rather just continue to fly under the radar and go in as underdogs every week.

I agree - but I digress , watching a recording, now there talking about the Dees on the couch!

They're not the only ones - next to nothing on 360 or On The Couch, either :/

360 talked about gawn. OTC talked about mfc having a collection of high level talent. Petracca. Viney, Oliver, brawshaw and Hogan could be premiership worthy if Hogan stays. Jbrown would offer 15mil over 10 if he was freo. Best under 21 yo player.

Sacre Blue, you aren't the grand handstander, the bane of Ron Barasssi's life, the thumper of Robbie, the alleged locker room thief at St Kilda, the victim who finally retaliated at the merciless Hawthorn snipers and caused poor Leigh to assault Bews?

Yeah, yeah, I was watching a recording, commented prematurely - see above

What's there to mention?  We're only 4-3, havent beaten anyone of genuine quality yet, still inconsistent at best, hell even Carlton have put together longer winning streaks.

we will get the praise when there is something to praise. We're improving but still a bloody long way to go.

I like being the underdog. Like a horse race, I am wary of a favourite. Naturally if we keep winning we are going to go into matches as favourites more often than not, but happy with a low profile and slow emergence. As for the football media , I do not give a toss. They are imbeciles and best not listened to anytime anywhere. They are completely fickle and most of the time dumb. They talk off the top of their head and rarely have opinions that matter.  We certainly do not need others to talk us up.

We beat North. The scoreboard just didn't ultimately reflect that.

Have to agree. I've grown to dislike him over time due to his perceived arrogance, but he actually makes the show watchable again. The Hutchison/Barrett combo was deplorable, Lloyd is average and Caro talks little about the actual football. 

Unlike Hutchison and Barrett, Judd's analysis was reasoned and without hyperbole.

Dermie on SEN earlier today was right into the Dees.  Interestingly, he posed a hypothetical question to the other hosts, if the bottom ten teams were to hold a mini comp right now, who would wind up in the grand final.  Instant universal response was Dees and Saints.  They all agreed that those two sides are a cut above the rest as far as the bottom ten go.

Had my dees scarf on at work yesterday and a passer by struck up some conversation with me. Said the dees are one of his favourite teams to watch when his team (Geelong) isn't playing. Exciting brand of footy when it works. 

 

If the media aren't noticing us, other fans are!

Frankly who cares what the paid mouthpieces are saying. It's like a child saying look at me, look at me. Craving some kind of respect.

We have beaten no-one (well , maybe GWS) and I'd be far happier for us to stay out of the media and the limelight and let our performances do the talking. We are coming from a long way back in terms of respect. Let's not be arrogant tossers because as we have shown this season, we can put in a shocker every few weeks.

Let this team develop winning habits and good training standards without fanfare.

    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
