He has leukemia.  Why you would even want to joke about it, or use it in the manner you have, is beyond me.  Poor form.

Carp coach or not, Bucks has integrity. People call him a figjam, but I trust his moral compass way more than Hird’s.

That game was horrific. Complete lack of skills from both teams. Richmond fans think they're a shoe-in for the flag. Their demise is gonna be so fun to watch!

Hoskin-Elliot was impressive. Should improve with more football. He has some great skills. Few kicks turned over, but is a real player - no doubt. Funny to see some pot him on here, clearly they didn't watch the game tonight, or know much about football.

 

he has his moments, but he's pretty outside

It's funny, I tipped Richmond but them winning went almost exactly as I expected. Collingwood shooting themselves in the foot, Richmond having good enough flashes to get he job done. I doubt either teams fans would look at this  and feel confident for the year. 

Happy I got the tip though!

Need Bucks to win some games before the break, dont want him to be fired.  With him as coach and Eddie as president they will stay mediocre forever.    Shows how great Malthouse was for them,  easy to forget as he was so bad as Carlton coach.

Unless they get pipped by St Kilda or the Hawks.

Incidentally I'm pretty sure I heard the commentators say something about the pies being 0-8 playing on Thursday nights. Keep giving that time slot! :lol:

I didn't even see the game and that's still funny. Assume there's no need to chase up a replay?

Unless you want to laugh at the absolute butchery in the first 3 quarters, give it a miss. 

There were a few goals in the last 15 when it opened up a bit. But compared to almost every game in round 1 it was truly horrible. I wish we played either of them tonight. Me and you that is KK, we would've beat them.

What a pathetic crowd for two teams that have so many members.

If Melbourne had as many members and supporters as these two teams we'd get 80,000 people per game.

Gee I think you are being a little tough on them Clint.

58 000 on a Thursday night ain't that bad. It was Thursday night, people have to work the next day and kids go to school etc.

As well Thursday nights are about the Broadcast rights not attendance.

They have plenty of inside, he should complement them well, and he did a couple of nice things last night but he does need to develop a little something extra.

Its funny as Buck finally looks comfortable being a coach and delegating to his deputies and yet he could be gone pretty quickly if the players performance really drops off a cliff.

You are very wrong my friend. One would reasonably  think neither team would be up and about but oh my oh my  the tiger mates i know are excited/delusional.

Its good though, it makes their eventual downfall much much sweeter. Bring on anzac eve

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
