Coat tails of the final tilt mate...

Their zone and midfield pressure stifled the supply to Kennedy that day. Frawley was a good player though.

I feel really sorry for O'Meara and Mitchell, who would have already cleared a spot on the mantle piece to put their cheap premiership spoils.       Nah, not really.

Hodge was " admirable " today, we were reminded by the commentators in the final quarter. Within 10 seconds, he had kicked into the man on the mark and handballed the ball straight to a Geelong player. He has been a champion but he's gone now. There are too many holes in the Hawthorn team now, not being filled by the likes of Hartung,Sicily, Langford or Vickery. Is it too much to hope for the Weagles to deliver another 86 point thumping to the beleaguered Hawks  next week??? We can only hope !!!!

Left (which we ended up getting with picks 2&3 with his compo) 

And you label his premiership "cheap" the fact that you label a premiership cheap when the club we support hasn't been able to achieve since TV was Black and White..

I am not saying he wasn't. But he jumped on board to ride the last wave..

most of the hard work was already done.

Whorethorn deserved it's 4 flags. Chip jumped on board late when most of the work was done

thus i consider it a cheap flag compared to a 2016 Bulldog Flag

Yeah.. winning a third flag in a row.. something rarely done.. incredibly cheap compared to winning 1 flag in 60 years..

HAAAAA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

 

I take a small piece of pride knowing that it was definitely Melbourne that finally cracked them and made them come crumbling down.

Before Melbourne beat them - 9 wins in a row, just two losses for the season to round 18.

Since Melbourne beat them - 2 wins, 7 losses.

We can pin this one up next to Melbourne breaking Essendon, way back in the actual drug-cheating season.

Before losing to Melbourne, Round 10, 2012 - 8 wins, 1 loss.

After losing to Melbourne - 3 wins, 9 losses.

 

As a club, we achieve two things for other clubs. Getting their kids rising star nominations, and intervening on behalf of the football demiurge.

Our compo for Frawley was pick 3. We got pick 2 for finishing where we did.

Take off your eye patch and pure jealousy of a better club. I got what you were implying, I just think it's a ridiculous thing to say.

I have seen everyone of their putrid flags since '71. 

Worked with 3 Whorethorn Supporters who made my life hell in '87 & '88 ON A DAILY BASIS

I have no sympathy for Chip or Whorethorn Supporters

we could have used Chip on Saturday but he switched off in Mid 2014

Not sure who they'll trade, but you would think at least two of Hodge, Burgoyne and Gibson will call it quits at the end of the year.  Their list as a whole is looking light on for talent, especially in the key position areas, and after this year they will see even more experience disappear from the list.

I don't feel sorry for them in the slightest, but it was inevitable that they would take a fall after 4 flags.

Someone like poppy might hold some value to a team like the giants who don't really have a genuine small forward but is contending for a flag, I suspect they should try and get at least 2 top15 picks this year if they can

need a quick injection of young talent onto that list

I would be happy to see Melb trade for Bruest.

It's sort of hollow celebrating their demise.

You want to, but deep down those 4 flags in 8 years don't give you much reason to.

I don't mind watching them fall apart.

Never liked them much and their flags are irrelevant at this stage.

Their demise is quite enjoyable.despite their succces.

Thanks Einstein.. I was saying we were able to get two picks inside the top 3 instead of 1.

Quickly becoming one of my least favourite posters. Congratulations.

    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
