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!!

Having watched all of Richmond's games (watched the West Coast replay), I reckon they are one of the worst 4-0 teams of all time. They make stupid errors and lack the midfield depth. They haven't played a decent team yet. Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast (at the 'G, who should have put them away) and now Brisbane - they haven't beaten anyone of note. And those first two wins were really scratchy. 

If we bring forward half pressure and minimise our turnovers as we did in the first two weeks, we should murder them.

Doesn't that mean we haven't beaten anyone of note too?

Yeah, that's fair. Although, St Kilda at Etihad are a tougher proposition than West Coast at the G. West Coast also did a Melbourne v Geelong and wasted so many opportunities.

tigers are 4-0 cos they're playing good footy, not because of who they've beaten.

their mosquito fleet will trouble us, and prestia / caddy has been a massive improvement over deledio. they're going okay.

They've both butchered this year, particularly Prestia, who is a lot better than he's shown at Richmond.

We get our forward pressure right against them and we'll beat them. They've got some worse users than us at the back there.

Agreed. Shades of Norf last year going 9-0.

Very North, but even North weren't making the same mistakes off half back and entering forward 50 that the Tigers have. Next Monday night will be very interesting.

Don't kid yourself about Richmond beating nobody they are playing a different brand of free flowing footy to 2016. Martin has been freed up with Prestia and Caddy coming in. Cotchin is an A grader and playing a great leadership roll. If we are not on next week they will hurt us big time on the fast break from turnovers. 

The boys face a very big acid test next week. The kids and older players all need to lift their efforts for 4 quarters and not switch off at any stage

Yep Richmond at the MCG will be a tough night. 

Forget past games. We will need to play our best football next week

Geelongs Brian Cook on SEN match preview today and said theres 10 things Geelong do that keep them winning. They apparently hold the highest AFL/VFL winning the most games in 300 matches or something. I wonder what those 10 things are? He wouldnt elaborate.

I'd say the number 1 thing is pray the most dynamic midfielder in the country is born 15 minutes from your home ground and wants to go home in a deal that costs you nothing.

Without him their last 30 games would have had 15 more losses in it - and they'd not be talking up their 300 game record.

Geelong have done well, but they have also been very lucky

Since when does a club list the cause of an injury rather than the injury itself?  Hawks are in damage control over their pitiful O Meara trade

    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

    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
