You have zero credibility, and this is why.

Are you the poster who logged up over 2000 posts insisting Scully will stay with us?

Yes you are.

Factually incorrect, but I ask again... relevance?
Desperate to change the topic from your ridiculous post?

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
If you're relying on Scully leaving as a crutch for your credibility, you're going to be disappointed.

I'm a Hogan critic but that is rubbish that he held us back this year. I know we have beaten 2015 Geelong and 2016 Hawks without him, but we are 2-1 without him in the side. Hardly a big sample size, if we were 6-2 without him then perhaps it'd have some merit.

His attitude and goalkicking need work but make no mistake he is a huge talent and if he fixes those up he'll probably be the best key forward of his generation.

I think it is a valid argument. Despite the small sample size our forward line has not functioned with the same fluidity and efficiency  against quality opposition since our big win over the swans back in the Bailey days. And we have to go back to 2006 for similar offensive elan. Not just the fact that we won.  Those two games stand out like goat glands of the Roos era.

Mate, our forwardline hasn't functioned because we've been [censored]. You are cherry picking 3 games (Remember the Hawks absolutely smashed us in 2015 without Hogan as well), it isn't valid at all.

That was round 7 and early in his career and we only got the Hawthorn monkey off our back that's been there for a decade this year.  Anyway my argument can be measured next season.

You need to correct your memory. Hawkins debut was in round 2,  2007 the year they started their AFL domination and won the flag. In round 3 and his second game that year he kicked 4 goals against us in a brutal hiding. That game confirmed the beginning of our painfully long decline and the beginning of Geelong's  rise.

After Geelong beat us they had a couple of poor losses against Hawthorn and North. After the North loss, and on the same day we lost a squeaker to Port, the Cats beat Richmond by about 250 goals. That was the day the announced they meant business.

Anyone with a pair of eyes and half a brain for football can tell that Jesse is a supremely talented footballer who is already pretty damn good. If Jesse played in those two games we would have won by more. It has been a long time since our midfield gave the kind of service it did in that Hawthorn game.

I think as a club/list we're in a far better position to cope with life without Jesse if that eventuated,  i don't think it will but our wins against Geelong and Hawthorn show that the talent on the list is good enough to cover the loss of probably any player outside Gawn

Great talent no doubt but no superstar yet. Even spud Membery has had a better season without all the hoopla.

At least we've moved on from blaming Jack Watts.

it's Jack Watts fault we're now blaming Jesse Hogan.

    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
