I know it's early, but a Port loss here could be handy for us. And a big loss for Essendon tonight could see us back in the 8. :D

*tongue planted firmly in cheek*

What a shame. Would've loved to have been 4-0 or 3-1, and cheering for the strongest teams to lose so we could contest for the top 4. Now we have to barrack for them to keep middle-table teams firmly in the middle.

The last time sydney started this bad was in 1993.  They won one game for the year and I'll remember it to the day I die.  A Sunday televised game against melbourne during the school holidays.

How's Geelong's kicking at goal this week? Bloody hopeless in comparison to last week. That'd be right.

Well it is something Nought Melbourne are involved in.  We should be playing the Saints today if it was real!!

Wow good start by Tex 4 goals and it's only the 1st quarter. 9 goals in the first term. They are a scary team Adelaide. Would make a day a bit happier if they smash the bummers. Geez what a difference it makes having a key forward up there to kick to.

The good news is that we did not throw the kitchen sink at Hurley as he's yet to come back and find any form at all. Probably the rustiest of all 12 that were suspended. Throwing money and first round picks at a 27 year old on the decline would've been a massive mistake.

†hough if Hibberd and Melksham don't come on then we've basically done it anyway with 2nd rounds and 2 x 400k a year players

Wow the crows have kicked our goals total and it's only half time. Geez Walker and Betts are quickly becoming a star duo. They have kicked 5 each. amazing when a team can kick straight also. Watching them play and how they play just shows how far we are behind certain teams.

Watching the Blues v Suns game and it's good to hear the umpires naming the 2 who will contest the ruck contest after the shambles in the North v Doggies game.

Gee, Dwayne Russell continues his moronic existence. Been saying all night that whoever wins out of the Blues and Gold Coast will go into the 8. Unless they'd won by 10 goals, the Suns were never going into the 8. He is an all round spud and how he keeps his job I'll never know.

The Crows lost Patrick Dangerfield 18 months ago, got peanuts in return and went on to become an even better team and club and should now be premiership favorites.

Why the hell cant the Melbourne football club have that sort of passion and pride?

Nobody cares enough when the heat is applied red hot. 

The Crows also lost a coach mid season and kept winning...

The MFC is still a mile behind even with more talent.

Dont despair, we will be back in the eight in about 3 minutes from now!

Maybe he's actually got some kind of degenerative disease

Could be worse, we could've signed up Chris Mayne for $500,000 a year for four years.

I have higher hopes for Hibberd than for Melksham. Hibberd has speed, can play small and tall and uses it well. Melksham is quick but is an erratic kick.

How good is the Adelaide team defence? That's where our defence has to get to. We either import the personnel that can play as well, or we hope that our guys come on quickly. They are looking impregnable.

North Melbourne have now lost 10 consecutive games (but were a bit unlucky vs Geelong and WB in the last few weeks)  The media haven't noticed yet so Brad Scott is not feeling any heat. 

Their next month is:  Freo, GCS, Adel, Swans.  No obvious wins there. 

If they don't get a few wins soon it won't be long before the media blow torch focuses on Scott. 

On a different note, enjoyed the hiding Adelaide gave the Bombers:cool:

    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
