If there were any more proof needed that Chris Scott is just riding a talented couple of players to victories at Geelong, it’s that Patrick Dangerfield is apparently calling all the matchday moves in addition to winning games off his own boot too.

Lowest half time score in Hawthorn's history. Nice

The biggest hit Goddard's put on this year was against a plate of chips...

Umpire says to Cockatoo "Don't get sucked in to it Nakia" after Nakia was the one who started the fracas in the first place. Way to show your impartiality umpire!

Shut up Ling. 

Can't believe people thought he was a coach in waiting a couple of years ago. Shouldn't be allowed to commentate on any game yet alone Geelong games!

Adelaide really are flat track bullies. Atkins... a butterfly.

...and Jenkins is right up there with Tippett & Vickery as a useless big man.

Plays small for his height.

If it doesn't come over the back to him he's a waste of space.

This has been long established.  I'd love nothing more than to knock them out of the finals.

I cannot believe this geelong team lost to the bummers. Yes I know that Geelong are on there home ground and its a huge advantage but they just have winners everywhere. 

IMO it was zachary the same scenario as us in round 2 last year. They (and we) figured we just had to go through the motions and a win was assured.

I had to read that a few times - I presume the prudish censor dislikes a term referring to feline creatures.

We were all saying this about Geelong before as well. But now they've put away the Dogs, Port and Crows on there home deck.

Must be nice having the biggest homeground advantage in the league.

The crow has no-one of Selwood or Danger character. Sloane is a one man band who teams target, no-one in the midfield can help him it seems.

well it seems that there are now three lock ins for the 8. Geelong, Adelaide and GWS. If Freo beat Collingwood then one can almost rule out Collingwood which means that Hawthorn, Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane are the teams that cannot make it.

Leaves 11 teams vying for five spots. One can start to pencil in Port as a probability for the 8 which means 10 for four spots.

GWS v Essendon is a big game for the Bombers not to mention almost all other games in this round.

It is almost good to be enjoying the bye and watching the permutations play out.

The Brothers and Geelong run the AFL now. Representatives on every Board of merit, and advanced knowledge of any rule changes.

Blind freddy could see what is going on and all the press want to do is not rock the boat....

I see Chris Scotts' wingeing continues with his ' please don't suspend Hawkins ' plea. He and his brother never stop moaning. Pathetic.

They try to influence the MRP and the general umpiring during the match. 

Its not subtle but it seems to work for them.

    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
