I don't think Geelong get enough free kicks at home. They need to introduce a rule where they just start off with the ball rather than waste time with centre bounces.

Wish we had Footscrays intensity, we are not even close to it.

Knew the Pies would get up. The Eagles are such downhill skiing pretenders... infuriating that we lost last week; relocate that game to the 'G and I bet we would've won without the BS one-sided umpiring and, probably, more accurate kicking.

Gerald Healy giving Jeremy Howe a bath on Fox Footy. Pointing out his inadequacies very astutely.

Howeys revealing himself as a C grader with one A grade asset with every turnover.

He just picked out the only West Coast player with that last kick forward...

If we had played West Coast at the G, in similar conditions, a few weeks ago and been soundly beaten then I would agree.  It would be very disappointing.

But we didn't.  We played them on their home turf, much of it wet, slippery conditions, and if not for wasted opportunities that we should have taken, we win the game.  We didn't win it, but to suggest that our game against the Eagles is somehow similar to the one today and that things will 'get ugly' if the Pies get up is a sad, naive and short sighted response.  It's a response for those posters who love to wallow in negativity and they'll look for ANY way to push that feeling on others.

I say get stuffed.  Any reasonable Melbourne supporter would be disappointed with last week's loss (myself included), but see today's outcome, if the Pies get up, as not even close to a reflection of last week or that it shows we are 'behind' the Pies.  It's nonsense.

You seem content, indeed indulgent, to gloss over the obvious. Whilst we were winning everything ( except the game ) we manage to bag two magnificent points in the last qtr to choke. The Pies kicked it up a gear to 5 goals and WIN.

Your stance is what epiomises MFC excuses. Your welcome to it.

You're boring.  You've missed the point entirely and also missed the fact that I said, twice, that I was disappointed in the game last week.  Doesn't mean I have to take a dumb stance about it.

St Kildas improvement is overrated.

In fact almost half of their wins (4 out of 9) have come against two sides - us (who they beat every year) and Essendon, who they were lucky to beat by just 11 points a few weeks ago.  Now struggling to kick a goal against an out of form North.

I swear, watching other clubs makes me go certifiably insane sometimes. St Kilda, that midget-burning basketcase with the perennial wool over us regardless of coach, players and gamestyle, have kicked 3 goals in an entire match, well into the fourth quarter against a thoroughly average team we nearly defeated.

Why are we so consistently bad against this mob... every... single... time!?

It's infuriating!!!!!!!!

AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Butcher - 15 touches, 10 marks, 3 goals at 3 quarter time.  He must be turning the... oh, wait.  It's against Brisbane.

Carry on.

Well, everyone turns into superstars against Brisbane.

They really are [censored], to put it mildly. Quite amusing to hear the AFL has ruled out any draft assistance despite their plight, and the drug cheats getting pick 1.

They are an absolute basket case at the minute.  Regardless of their win last week, they are worse than the drug cheats.

    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
