Don't worry Ethan it's in the bag!! I'm confident on this one and I'm sure you will relish the opportunity of being boorish, uncouth, unsporting and foul mouthed toward your fellow employees.

Win by a lot and we could move to 9th. I am not giving up on the finals dream!

We needed three quarter time.

You lot are never happy though.  Every game has twists and turns and we tired a little late and they kicked a few.  Big deal.  It's pathetic the way you guys react.

Spot on.

These NT games are [censored]. I'm so unhappy that we are in a position where we have to keep giving up these games for cash. 

Not only do they take it out of you, thereby ensuring you lose the following week, we don't even have a smidge of a home advantage up here.

At least another 4 games in this hot box. 

Better Aussie heat than China heat.

Hopefully that's our one down quarter for the match. Continue like that ...

....and we're cooked. Sad to say I think experience might win for the Dockers from here. Two players down and no more petrol tickets.

Please. All year we've talked about getting a 4 quarter effort. If ever we were going to get that, it should be today. We dominated a half and totally lost the plot in this quarter. 

Its not good enough to let a team you've dominated a sniff at a win. It's just not acceptable.

I know we're a young team but we had absolute domination for 3 and a half quarters but haven't buried them. We need to learn to destroy a teams confidence and make sure the game is buried when we can.

How could we have had absolute dominance for 3 and a half quarters? It's only 3 quarter time.

Totally lost the plot?  It was 4 goals to 2.  No one wins every quarter.  We're a young side and we did it tough in the third term.  That's life.  No need to make a song and dance about it.

Ohhh How I agree with that.  Some on here are upset we have to play again in the NT.  How this game will affect our performance next week.  Maybe, just maybe there might be a bit of management of the players right now????

Well I'm never going to be happy when we dominate play for most of the game but don't put a team away, call me funny that way. I get what you're saying but we started to showboat a bit midway through that quarter instead of doing the team things that got us to where we are.

I watched the last 5min of the Port game in Darwin we won in Darwin by 1pt, we let them back in with that one, hoping we don't repeat history.

    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 sta

    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
