Hawkins has been an amazing contributor tonight. Didn’t even chase then. Very poor body language. Tough guy when the going is good, but.......

Been more than well held. Been made irrelevant. No mean feat.

At least that cheating, whinging number 14 and his bro won’t be there next week

Will Sloan’s play on Martin*? Could be a classic

* of course unless Toiges choke tomorrow. 

Toigres...choke!?? surely not.

Crows by over 60 - they just got there but that was the value.  Shouda,  couda,  wouda. :mellow:

The warm, virtually perfect conditions tomorrow will suit the Giants ... I reckon they'll win.  I'd much rather see the Tigers make it though, for all sorts of reasons.

The fascinating bit will be the totally one-sided huge crowd ... there's been one-sided crowds before but never of this magnitude.

How good are the Crows to watch!

After the highly defensive footy of the past decade, their ability to score is as good as any team in my memory. Positive, attacking, skilful,  daring footy. And that forward line is overflowing with talent. 

As for the Cats, if you take out Dangerwood, and some cameos from Motlop and Menegola, that was a very poor game of footy. I picked them to miss the finals this year so they have surprised me, but their list looks full of holes and B grade talent.

Don't worry, Gary Ablett (turning 34 next May) is coming to save the day!

/s

Both Scott brothers' recruitment strategy comes from the same rulebook. They'll soon fall off a cliff just like North Melbourne did.

Interesting observations ..... i went back & looked at the Swans run after the first 6 games & it wasn't that impressive... yeah  beat GWS but they were hamstrung with injuries & then maybe Geelong at Skilled but otherwise a pretty ordinary run.  This was a season & I have made this point before...who you played...where you played & who was injured.   That analysis is predicated for all seasons but as the teams become closer this will happen more often.  Adelaide deserve the GF win..... GWS are the most talented but that doesn't translate to winning & Richmond....really how the f*#k did they get there.  No injuries but to me ....the worst loss of the season...absolutely dominating them & then carnage with injuries.....& the arrogance of those supporters.....I do not want them to win....even though I will never ever forgive Scully

Yep. We need to trade HARD to improve

Finals are 20% Tougher

Fact. 

Mate if I had a few more years left in my life I'd go back to  your post where you said Chris Scott should be sacked but probably wouldn,'t !

Wow Adelaide as a whole organisation makes us look exactly what we are.....

After last night, you can't help thinking that Adelaide tanked to lose to West Coast and keep us out of the Finals. They could see that our key players were about to return from injury and knew that we were one on the few teams that had their measure.

They may or may not have (I suspect they didn’t) ....but it was only our ineptitude that gave them that option

Swap C Scott for B Scott would be an interesting question in reality !

    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
