Bruise free football - from both sides. Pretty sad that these two teams were afforded the respect of a Trumpeter and the Last Post. Not much intensity out there.

But they have SOS recruiting. They've got no hope. He's useless.

In fairness to SOS he brought over Marchbank Plowman Pickett from GWS who all look like will be quality players in the future.

His draft picks in Petrevski Seton, Curnow, Fisher, Weitering, Silvagni Williamson will also add depth and class to their side over the next couple of years. They still have alot of holes on their list but they have a good base to build on.

I have a serious hate for Carlscum more then anyone but i think their future does look bright... unfortunately

They're at least 5 years away from challenging. As soon as Murphy and Simpson retire and Gibbs nicks off to Adelaide, they will get pummelled regularly. 

Curnow looks okay, but I wonder about his size for a KPF. Marchbank looks like he reads the play well. Pickett and Petrevski-Seton look nippy. Weitering is class, but is being played forward, because they're ordinary forward.

If they end up being another 3-5 years from even challenging for finals, Cripps will leave and then they're [censored].

I hope that happens. Hate Carlton with a passion.

I get so depressed watching Ollie Wines

exactly what we still lack

Grunt. 

We don't lack grunt... I know you like complaining, mate, but we've got plenty of Wines' type. We need more diversity in our midfield makeup if anything.

I'm in Perth as you are and in peak hour traffic morning and night I pass a work ute painted red and blue with a logo in the rear window, just thought it may be you as there aren't a lot of us in Perth.

Nah mate, not me. I also pass a few vehicles with MFC rego plates or membership stickers on the rear window.

I usually just apply the small MFC member sticker to the rear of my vehicle. The rest of the stickers that come in the membership pack I save up and strategically place on my mates cars and wait to see how long it takes them to notice. You might've spotted one of my Freo mates car. ?

Wines is a gun...

He's a good player, having a great season. Limited decision maker, but tough around the contest.

We don't lack grunt. It was just an opportunity to imply we stuffed up the Wines v Toumpas draft again. Let it go.

F$5& Toumpas A F! I am watching tonights games. 

Wines is the sort of players who wouldn't have let last weeks 3rd Q happen

WE STILL LACK GRUNT

No. We lack leadership. We have plenty of grunt.

Disagree, mate, but each to their own.

As for Carlton, they're playing a side as young as our blokes, but are nowhere. It shows the gulf between our list and Carlton's and we're not even challenging for the top 4. I'll say it again. Carlton are in big trouble.

They have no forwards. Malthouse cleared them out

 

fantastic

I have just turned it on

OMG the inventors of tanking seem to be perfecting the art form

CFC may have been fooled by the success Bolton had with a list that maybe even Neeld could have had success with

To those who have had the courage to watch it all, are CFC that awful or are Port good, or third option, neither?

And they haven't built a midfield. Should have traded Gibbs last year and they should be blooding midfielders now around Murphy and Cripps.

Highlight of the match so far was Jane Bunns quarter time weather update

Jane might not always get the weather right, but really, who cares ?????

It's more that he had trade value. What will they get for him this year now?

    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
