Saints were stiff but that's footy, happens to the best.

bombers look dangerous but I don't know if it's their skill or the emotions they're playing on. I had most of my essendon mates banging on about they they're going to make the eight and such pre-season. I really don't want them to be right.... like... really

Seven never pass up an opportunity to broadcast a game with Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton or Geelong playing.

Interstate clubs and smaller Vic clubs are like lepers to Seven.

stop playing the victim card! 7 will play whatever makes them money.... if we win games then they have to give us these slots. simple

I know what you mean, they'll be insufferable if they make the 8. Really don't want that to happen. 

Saints were unlucky this week, actually very similarly to how we lost to the eagles last year. Inaccuracy and the umpires torched them, eagles just did enough when it counted. It's a shame the umpires need to be able to hear in order to catch things like touched off the boot, otherwise I'd say they should look into noise cancelling technology to cut out the crowd. Zero doubt it has a massive influence on their decision making and any umpire that tells you otherwise is lying.

Maverick Weller is surely the ugliest man in footy. 

Then I switch the channel and see Lingy.

Was flicking between the Lions/Bombers and the Eagles/Saints games and there were some shocking haircuts in both.

Checking your Avatar, do you really think that you are qualified to comment on hair cuts??

I will say it now Garry JR does not care anymore, Gold coast has no injures so they got nothing to blame, there is a reason why two NRL clubs have failed there a A league team failed, no football team will play well there,  and wow 8000 to a AFL game GWS might win the flag but no one will care.

umm, not that simple.  You have to have a large number of supporters to seduce Ch 7 and the advertising $. Winning games over decades is required to get those numbers.

There's a definite pattern emerging in the AFL this season.

The clubs that are getting an extraordinary run from the umpires are -

Western Bulldogs;

West Coast Eagles and

• Greater Western Sydney.

See what's happening?

I have the answer.

Change the name of the club to the West Melbourne Demons.

Do it now PJ!!!

Geelong are not what they were. They got rid of Stevie J way to early as did Whorethorn with Lewis

What does that even mean?

Wow. Just wow. Anyone see Ablett's jog then?

Didn't watch yesterday's game but if it's the same incident that you noticed, ch9 showed the footage of a seemingly disinterested Ablett on the Sunday footy show this morning.

I'd hate to see a player like Ablett jr lay down the tools.  We see it quite a bit in pro-sports around the world primarily because of the big dollars that are 'guaranteed'.

3Qtr time:  Port 117, Freo 46.  Freo never had much offensive, now they don't even have defence nor contested game

Lyon may have a long contract but that won't save him.  Freo have deep pockets and they showed their ruthlessness when they sacked Harvey and in the dark of night poached Lyon. 

World of pain for all.  It may be just enough to lose Fyfe.

Freo are absolutely shite, they conceded 10.6 from turnovers in the first half kicking 0.1 themselves from the same source. Genuinely strike me as worse than Carlton and likely to collect the spoon. Not sure if there is a precedent either (Judd aside) for a team captain to leave his club as an RFA- even in his case there were few causes for complaint from Weagles fans given he captained them to a flag, Fyfe walking out on the club when they're in the shitter will set them back a long time.

    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
