Well it was nice watching Geelong get thumped, but makes it even more important for us to win tomorrow. Top 4 is probably out of reach now due to our lower percentage, but we need to make sure we come home strong to give ourselves a decent run in finals. It would be good to get a final in Melbourne. Would hate for our first final in over a decade to be interstate and get knocked out straight away.

Don't even want to think about the possibility we may tire and miss finals. I'd be livid!

One day at a time, bro. Only way to look at it.

Good news - that bald number 15 umpire is there tonight so he won't be in Canberra tomorrow.

Could have sworn i saw No 26 for Cats put TWO knees into a swans bloke's back two seconds before half time in a marking contest.

Would have to have been deliberate, reckless, reportable and dangerous.

Just saw the stats on AFL Scores. The Cats are killing them according to this, in every department. Yet the Swans are double their score?

Efficiency. The Swans had 22 possessions after about 6 mins and 4 goals 2 pts on the board.. quite unbelievable

You have to wonder dont you.....they couldnt win their first 6 games. Sure they had injuries, but these sides know where the business end of the season is. They must just tempo it and play the season accordingly.

Part of me is actually kind of hoping that the Tigers beat Hawthorn this weekend, just because I hate those arogant Hawks suppoters, their arrogant side and would love to see any faint finals hope for them snuffed out.  Conversely if the Tigers loose, it keeps 4th spot ajar for us, asumming we are good enough to win most/all games from here.

Scott reckons Papley 'dived' after the Duncan punch!  He is such a sore loser!

The media are describing it as a 'push' - Duncan's right fist looks closed before and after he hit Duncan. The are softening up the MRP. 

Hawkins also has a couple of events that might attract MRP attention.

Lets hope Bartel is not on the MRP this week.  It just highlights another weakness in the MRP - recently retired players should not be there because it is their mates they review and I challenge anyone to stay objective when finals are so close. 

 

Edit:  Bartel didn't sit on the MRP to decide on Dangerfield so his objectivity hasn't really been tested.

It should never have to be tested. A perceived conflict of interest is sufficient for someone on a panel/judge to walk away from the case.  Why the AFL has past players on the MRP is totally beyond me.

Both the Scotts are good at 'copy writing' for the media. Must be a tactic in their DNA

Agreed...but we know the AFL is a law unto itself with the utmost 'integrity'...:blink:

Wasn't that only because he was overseas. There are 5 on the panel but last  week 2 were OS on holidays?

Yes, so his objectivity wasn't tested. 

He shouldn't sit this week either.  As 'sue' said: conflict of interest.

One man out and Geelong are kitty litter. We have had top players out for most of the season they have had one for one game and it shows what they are like. Pathetic.

Only Melbourne could [censored] over 16 other clubs and hand the drug cheats a finals position.

I feel sick.

The only consolation prize now would be Bulldogs beating Brisbane and knocking them back out.

Essendon have won this game purely on the fact they are fresher because they have played 7 weeks straight in Melbourne.

Nice one AFL. Makes me wish we took drugs in 2013.

Yeah and they are back at Etihad next week as well

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
