wow. We've conceded 51 points in 18 minutes.

I don't care if we are kicking into a hurricane, any chance we put some numbers behind the ball? You would've thought we'd have learned from last week.

I wonder what we will do with the wind? Kick 3 goals?

 

Kick with the wind?  Hmm .. last quarter against Norf anyone?

Worst quarter of the year. Disgusting lack of effort and genuine attack on the footy. 

Leaders have a lot to answer for.

No intensity and no pressure two weeks in a row when the season is on the line. Missing one player in our best 22. Just no excuses for this. Absolutely pathetic.

Heartless, unaccountable football. And in just 15 minutes, our season is over. Wow!

That's our season summed up in a quarter: hope, potential, looks good, and then brought down back to Earth. 

I don't really care if they lose today. Fact is that it shouldn't matter because we should have taken care of North last week.

We didn't, so now it stands that we're just making up the numbers.

And when a team is scoring like that why the F$%k do we handball. YOU STOP and take your bloody time.

We should just save time and rather than handball just give it to a GWS player. Its the same thing.

We have NO leadership at ALL. NONE. Watts doesnt want to put his body on the line and Garlett has decided to take the day off.  Jones rushed in and Viney must be injured cos he wasnt sighted in the last 15mins.

We won't kick 8 goals for the rest of the game let alone with the wind this quarter to get back in it. GWS had a bruise free game last week, we're flat and carrying sore bodies. I'm calling a 80+ point loss and season over.

We'll be leading at half time.

No chance. The Giants pressure is scary

Nothing to do with the wind.  Most of their goals came within striking distance. They absolutely dominated around the ball and in transition. 

We must keep the losing margin below 30 points. We can't afford much of a percentage drop. Lose by 10 goals and imo our season is finished.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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’
