This is a topsy turvy season and, with a number of teams, you don't have any idea as to what's coming out at the start of the day.

I go back a few weeks ago when I saw the quarter time score in the Collingwood v Geelong game and I thought WTF.

On Saturday night Geelong made a meal out of North Melbourne.

Carlton beat both Collingwood and Geelong.

Confused?

 

At the start of the season I said it would be the most even in a very long time, check this out.

I'm too honest of a person and decided to go to work. I'll be home around half time but I'll be recording the game to watch from the start. Please hold off on posting any scores, updates or general co

At work in Beijing. Might be a good time to introduce Chinese students to the beauty of Australian Rules football. Could be an opportunity for cultural learning as well as some intensive study of the Australian vernacular. Mmmm, maybe not.

Got the same dilemma. Was supposed to be finished classes by quarter time but someone is sick so have to cover!

I've been out for a bike ride. It's seriously windy!! The filth would be going in way too top heavy if they line up as selected. I wouldn't be surprised to see a late change. (Small for ta

I'm in the outer today.

I'm hoping the scum can take losing like gentlemen.

I will be wearing tweed (with the elbow patches).

I hope today we play a coach killer.

Tweed In the outer! Risky business Ethan risky business!

Seems like there might be a few of us over here. It would be really good to catch up to watch a game or two together. Paddy O'Shea's in Dongzhimen is pretty good at finding the coverage. If you're interested let me know and we can get together maybe next weekend for the Swans game on Sunday. It would mean an 11am start but they have some good food to soak up the beers.

Great weather for the walk to the G and enjoying watching various D grade douchebags diving into icy water. 

Now to win!

Can also confirm J Viney is playing. Glove on. Freak!

Jack's hand looks ok - carrying his gear with his left (injured)! 

His presence will draw one of their players to 'mind' :cool: him - frees up our other midfielders :rolleyes:.

Jack is primed for big game! Relishes the challenge and knows to hate the old foe in his DNA...

You sure it's not The Reverend calling in sick?

Melbourne beat GWS, GWS smashed Port, Port smashed Melbourne.

Hell, Richmond beat Sydney!

    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
