Around the League Round Nine


Maple Demon

Recommended Posts

This game has just turned into a rolling maul of packs of players. Thoroughly average television.

Dumb, slow, moronic kick from a Geelong player to the centre of the ground, which a Collingwood player easily intercepted.

Another 100 plus point loss coming up to the Suns, last four games could easily equal a total four hundred points behind... how many teams have averaged 100 point losses over a four week period only playing one top 4 side in that time?

Probably us at some point under Neeld.

I think an AA punchable head thread should be started.

Yes.

Let us not procrastinate !

Although violent at first glance ,the term "punchable head'" is more to do with someones dislikeability and /or their stupidity .

Can we nominate BrenT Harvey as Skipper?

If we win tomorrow we are only two wins and percentage behind second place on the ladder.

Okay, that helps!

People on here who want The Filth to win need to take a good hard look at themselves!

More wanting Geeong to lose

I hate them as much as the Filth, maybe more.  I hate they get a soft draw, got Dangerfield for practically free and have the biggest homeground advantage in the league

Oh yeah not to mention their diving and ducking captain

Wouldn't mind if a mild case of Ebola swept the Arena personally.

Geelong were off but that was partly due to Collingwood's pressure.

If Collingwood bring that each week, they're a good chance to push for finals.

A reminder that we have pressure from below, not just above, on the ladder if we are aiming for finals this year.

They look slow and indecisive. Think they came into the game expecting a walkover.

That's why the lost the 2008 flag and why they lost that game against us last year. They're an arrogant football club. Hate Collingwood, but I'm not a big fan of Geelong either. Such an arrogant bunch.

Port aren't particularly good, are they?

They are a confidence team, hopefully the eagles batter them on the scoreboard and physically, demoralizing them for next week.

Seems we will need to win by about 120 tomorrow to finish the round in the 8.  Lets do this.

Finals aren't an expectation for me this year. What is though, is that we bring the required intensity to all our games, and beating teams that we should. That would prove we are still developing in an upward trend.

    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
