Only two times and one of them was a number two.

Deflate St Kilda and not be the only team to lose to Essendon.

Did you ever pee in your own jeans and then spill a drink on yourself publicly soon after to deflect unwanted questioning?

Thank you for your refreshing honesty.

Did you "fudge" the number two with a curry?

It was last week.

I'm watching a nostalgic birthday party for Play School.

Lorraine Bayley (who was in everything from 1970-1990) was just relaying the time they bought an Elephant in to the room.

She commented on how huge it was.This was a revelation for me.

I'm surprised she even wanted to discuss it.

Well, Wet Toast are now officially out of reach, but North continue to slump.

Next three games are Port Adelaide, Collingwood and St Kilda. Unpredictable, but on current form...

Then their last four games are Bulldogs, Hawks, Swans and Giants. Zero wins there?

It is conceivable we could pass North with just 4 wins out of the 7 remaining games. Saints, Suns, Blues and an 8-pointer v Port would do it!

 

Bizarre season. Top 7 could all be on 15+ wins, then 8th on 11.

If anyone out of the 8 is going to sneak in, it is going to be at North's expense. West Coast's draw is too easy and the other 6 are too good to slip out. 

I am confident it won't happen though. North should win two of its next three (Port, Collingwood and St Kilda) which makes the magic number 12. Port hasn't beaten anyone in the top 8, we are a strong chance to drop the St Kilda game and even if we win it we would have to win two of Port, Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast. St Kilda isn't good enough whilst Collingwood is very up and down and has a tough draw (they'd need to win three out of Adelaide, NM, West Coast, WB and Hawthorn and also beat Richmond and Gold Coast).

I would love us to get to 11 wins, even without being enough for top 8, as that would involve at least one win over Port (away), Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast (away).

To overtake North would be as good as to make finals. God I hate North. Does anyone know someone who supports them and isn't an absolute [censored]?! 

If only we beat them earlier this year... So close!

If you've met a North supporter then you have found a needle in a haystack is what you've done.

Did anyone watch the Bulldogs v Tigers?

Late in the game Cameron Ling talked about once a player bounced the ball/touched the ball on the ground the period of "prior opportunity" was reset, has this always been a rule? It was in relation to Dustin Martin gaining possession then going for a run, having a bounce then immediately getting tackled. I've never heard of it and thought if someone's gone for a run they've obviously has prior.

I think the 7 team need the umps adviser to give them a session on the rules....

They really have no idea, to the point of embarrassing themselves.

    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
