Sorry ..have you missed the point. It's not liking a tweet. It is a photo of our player, clad in a Richmond scarf partying after the game in the Richmond rooms.  What part of that did u miss..all of it by the sounds

A few things have been bugging me this season, don't get me wrong - I have enjoyed the march back to relevance - but there have been some odd missteps and frustrating emanations from the club that won

In a season where we continually fielded the top 3 or 4 youngest teams week in, week out, and to be in the finals with 5 minutes to go of the entire season, I think we have probably performed above wh

Again, in regard to the injury point of discussion, it is a really ignorant thing to deem its impact a “furphy”. We really suffered the curse of injury this season and it didn’t impact us only in

Yes but the Swans then went on a winathon easily dispatching teams no matter what their ladder position

MFC couldnt beat teams below it. God help the fragile mentality if we were in a similar position to the Swans

we wouldnt have won another game and this site would have melted

Exactly. 10 years ago people on here told me to be patient and to not be so hard on the mental fragility of the MFC. 

I told them then, that they would be saying the same things in 10 years. 

Guess what?

they are...

always a good excuse to hide behind at Melbourne. 

Pity we don’t learn from our Storm neighbours. 

Now there is a tough club. One of the toughest on Earth ?

Last I checked, Swanny was no longer a player.  Mithen barracks for the Tigers. It's all over her instagram. Is this sinking in yet ? Plays for the MFC,.barracks for another club. That sit well with you does it?

Geeez you are daft. It's not about women''s league vs men's league ..I am pointing out that we seem to have a number of people working for the club that are not die hard demons. This does not happen at other clubs.

I am sure many opposing players were out with their “mates” last night celebrating. 

Does’t mean they don’t go hard at each other when playing the game

i think you are the one with the closed mind. 

The AFLW has been around for 1 season with 8 clubs

if someone barracked for them all their lives and they won a Flag after 37 years, i don’t begrudge them a few Crownies and a selfie ?

You happy with this too.. ? Current listed AFLW player wearing tigers gear and getting down the rooms to celebrate. I am staggered that so many don't see that as a club our staff and personal are not as passionate about the MFC the ways us fans are. You don't get that at other clubs. It's unique to ours and it is why we are a fragile, mediocre accepting football club

Markedly different - a former adelaide premiership winner going to party with adelaide - vs a player with no known links to richmond, or rance...just grew up a supporter and due to her aflw affiliation can get to places most of us can't?

Are you down on clayton and max for liking it also?

also Clarkson who was a north and melbourne person - becomes one of the most credentialed coaches around at Hawthorn - diehard people don't win premierships... just ask buckley, voss, hird etc etc etc

 Clarkson is a hawthorn person now tho isn't he? 100 per cent. Culture builder. He wouldn't be coming to Melbourne football club premiership parties, because he is committed to the club that employs him. Same with Dimma.  He has bought into the culture. As far as I am concerned, if you work or play for a club, you are 100 per cent committed to that club. End of story

He is referring to the Dees player in the middle there, who is obviously still a Tigers supporter...

Sheedy got invited to so many Richmond gigs, but knocked them all back.

His reason was that he was first and foremost a Bomber......

He was.  Of all the things to beat up the club's culture about, a new AFLWOMENS player having Richmond mates and celebrating with them has to be about in position 500.   SOme people just can't resist beating up the club on any opportunity no matter how absurd.

Or we could talk about the passionate Richmond supporter who runs runs The demon shop...or our coach who wanted to have beers with the adelaide football club had they won yesterday

Just to clarify it took Hardwick 8 seasons to win a flag, finished 13th in 2016 and they wanted a new board & to sack the coach!

I think we can allow Goodwin to coach after his 1st season!

Just to compare our lists, I took their gun players vs ours. A bit of perspective?

Reiwolt  225 games 28yo         Hogan 51 games 22yo

Cotchin 198 games 27yo         Viney 88 games 23yo

Martin 178 games 26yo           Petracca 39games 21yo

Rance  175 games 27yo          Oliver 35 games 20yo

                                                     Tom Mac 126 games 25yo

Bit over the top to put TMac in that bracket. Rance had 2 or 3 AAs at Tmac's age. 

Also don't think anyone on our list is going to be better than Martin.

Hogan might be better than Riewoldt if he ends up staying with us and learns how to kick.

Not saying they are as good as the Rich players yet but the age & game difference.... Reality is they have over 400 games more experience and we need to be patient as hard as it is!

So plenty of critics this week, telling me I was making too much of an AFL W player of the mfc supporting the Tigers...how do we all feel about this pic...yes that's a Foraged COACH....Troy Chaplin in a Tigers scarf. Get ya heads out of the sand...there is a culture disconnect at Melbourne and it needs to be fixed. Roos spent a long time creating, Goodwin and his team have the potential to wither it away.

Last I checked, Richmond don't field an AFLW team... not sure how her supporting the Tigers' men's team in their first GF for some time, affects her performance for the Dees AFLW team.

    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’

    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
