Think he might like seeing the inside of our medical room?

He's contracted until the end of 2017. Hasn't had a great run with injuries I agree, if he can play out the season without a serious injury I'd be looking at him.

How-to win afl games injure 2 opponents in the first half.

Well we sink or swim. Both sides are beatable. A test if we are the real deal or not. Bring it on.

Already looks like he's struggling to get through games without his back giving him issues. Also just missed a set shot from 15 metres out on 45 degree angle. Wouldn't bother chasing him unless he cost us very little. Would rather we chase key position forward/second ruck or a key defender. Steven May or Jake Lever would be ideal.

Fair call, Collingwood would probably want too much anyway.

They'd ask for a first or second rounder. Elliott is nearly 25 years old and still can't stay on the park. He's a decent talent, but hardly worth giving up good picks for. We have a number of small, and Garlett is already better than Elliott. We need depth for our talls and ideally another good key defender like Steven May. If we landed him over the off-season I'd rate us a premiership chance next year!

It will be tough for Adelaide to come back being a man down for the half now (Tom Lynch looks to be done for the day). They've clearly been the better team since quarter time (kicked 7 goals to 2), but letting any team kick 10 goals before you even score will never end well. 

They may be without Tom Lynch (injured) and Charlie Cameron (suspension) next week though which helps us when we play them over in Adelaide.

I think they will be without Cameron, but I reckon Lynch will get up for next week. Not looking forward to playing a fired up Adelaide, I hope we come prepared.

All the celebrations and backslapping after they beat Geelong last week...  7 days later and the calls for Buckleys head will be back in full swing lol

Great that Collingwood pull off the occasional surprise to ensure that Buckley isn't sacked - wouldn't want them to employ someone who could actually coach!

Elliott is a good talent, but he just can't get on the park (or stay there). He's played well this game, but game's in the balance and he is on the bench getting worked on as his back/hip is giving him trouble again. If he can't string more than 4-5 games together every few years he's not much use.

Petrevski-Seton looks the goods for the Blues. I know he was a high draft pick (pick6-7?) but looks like they nailed that pick. Good blend of inside/outside midfielder. Links up well and hits the scoreboard. 

Intuitive indigenous talent that can play inside/outside would certainly be what I'd be looking at targeting come draft time.

Never thought I'd be saying this, but like many of us around this place, I'm rapt that Carlton won today.  Good Old Collingwood ........NEVER!  Eddie will be crying into his Moet tonight.

somewhat disappointing that the Pies won last week .... the irate supporters calling into 3AW are not at their best yet ...

It's good that they get a "big" win every now and then. Keeps Buckley alive. Which in turn keeps our amusement alive.

I wonder if Jamie Elliott would entertain a move?

He's an upgrade on ANB, Frost or VDB (Or BKen :/ ). But as we have Petracca and Watts, Elliot isnt a pressing need at all. I'd tempt the scorn of Demonland by saying this, but bringing back a J. Howe into the forward line And Defence would fill a far bigger hole immediately.

There's not one team in the league that we can't beat.

I'ts been a long time since a Melbourne supporter could say that.

There's a long way to go but this season is shaping as one where there could be 15 or 16 teams fighting it out for finals until the very end.

    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
