I'll focus on the real positives of the game which were Mitch King's return to footy and Buggy dominating.  Mitch King dominated the ruck against pretty much no real opposition but looked really good

Any reason for the pessimism?

shattered to read about Gus. So disappointing for him and the club. Hit behind the play?? what kind of moron does that to someone with known concussion injuries. If its true take the year off. And think about retiring. 

Beat me to it....what kind of moron? A Ballarat one...plenty of em round here. Terrible act if true.

But if after 15 years Lewis is happy to play on I don't see why Angus would be overly concerned if the docs aren't. 

And Daniel Bell after 60 odd games had what appears to be permanent brain damage... don't put your desire to see him succeed as a player, ahead of Brayshaw's best interests. The doctors don't always get it right.

And/or have we made a terrible mistake? 

On the contrary, I would say we have done him (Bugg) a big favour. His dropping has obviously woken him up and he has responded in the best way possible.

Hmm, I hope you're right hardtack. 

But it's the great hypothetical conundrum- might he have played a similar out-of-his-skin type game on Monday night if he was given the chance?

Bugg just giving the middle finger to the match selectors.. and Jake Melksham

Get some therapy, DD36.  It ain't about Melksham.  It still isn't about Melksham, and it wont be the next 20 times you post about him being selected for Monday. 

Good on TB for answering the selectors in the most powerful way.  There are several others that should be doing the same - make yourself impossible to leave out.

On Melksham - Lets see some of the other young backs that play a comparable role play the house down and demand to be picked in his place.

Jesus.. it was tongue in cheek mate. If you took offence to that then maybe its you that needs therapy.

On Melksham he is very lucky this weekend. But il still back him in to hopefully play a role for us. With Hibberd in maybe Vince or Melksham pushes up to a wing.

Unless you intended to play bugg in the back half it's not a like for like swap.

I think kid we weren't playing tigers this week with their brigade of smalls he may have been dropped.

I would have kept Bugg in the side and given him a tagging role on Cotchin or Martin personally.

I'm not using the past as an example. I'm using Lewis as of right now. If there was cumulative effect or any worry re brain injury surely he would not play on. 

Too much hysteria re concussion imo. We've gone from not caring at all to way over the top

Sad for Gus. Great talent, courage but vulnerable.  Needs a very long time out if this latest concussion confirmed.

Sorry but I do not agree IMO you cannot be over the top with concussion injuries (no pun intended)

No worries OD. Happy to have a civilised disagreement

    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
