I'm sorry to hear this, all the best.

We will announce ourselves today with a very good win. The loss against the Hawks will give the guys the belief that they can beat Sydney. Jones was ultra dirty that we lost that game and I recko

Tony Shaw calling players " smart" is like Stevie Wonder describing a sunset.

Our defence just sucks.

Hyperbole. Just ridiculous. We're playing against one of the consistently best teams in the league, and yes, they're better. They're also more experienced, and they're also playing on their home ground.

Our effort is good.

Sydney spreading harder and even in these conditions, giving themselves effective options.

I think we'll regroup and get back into it fairly quickly.

You mean good old wet weather football?

Yeah, clearly a foreign concept to our coaches, despite having an entire week to prepare thanks to that magical invention called "the forecast."

It's amazing that on such a small ground with so much rain that the Swans can be given so much easy space, time, and access to goal by us. Just woeful dumb football. Any chance we had to use the conditions as a leveller have just shown us up.

every time we kick it forward it's a scrappy kick and the swans always get it as they are playing in front

Dumb team. Dumb coaching. 

Let McVeigh just go on this own. Let's bounce in the wet. Let's not be smart enough to man up. 

We are just not a smart team. We try hard but Sydney is just better in every little aspect that matters. 

TBH in these sort of conditions its very hard to tag anyone. Ten around the ball and it gets squeezed out. This game is a raffle

I'm confident we're employing rope a dope here. Swans to be out on their feet by 4th quarter.....a glorious victory ours. (the author retains the right to change his view should it rain goals)

Agreed - but if it's a raffle I want the Demons to have the winning ticket.

What do you get when Dawes goes up for a mark in the wet?

A Sydney goal.

Keep them coming.

I hate to say it but Trenners is just so slow. I love him but his lack of pace is really concerning. 

Nearly game over in these conditions. And yet again a no name manages to kill us.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    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
