So here is our forward line coach on Saturday clad in a tigers scarf, announcing it's tiger time. I've been shot down by a few ppl this week on here saying I was making too much of Goodwin suggesting he would celebrate with the Crows if they win. Surely you look at this and shake your head in disbelief

I think you're making too much of this too mate.

Chaplin played for them just recently so you can hardly blame him for still having a close affinity to the Tigers.

Do you also expect Jordan Lewis not to attend the Hawks 10 year reunion of their 2008 GF win? This is an absolute joke, our club isn't involved so he is there supporting his old club and friends, I have no issues at all with him wearing the scarf, he was barracking for the Tigers to win after all.

No one at the club cares for the club..it's a manufactured group that lacks soul

...

As long as that is acceptable, this club will go f.a. nowhere 

It worked out well for us when blokes like 'Cuddles' Connelly, dare I say it the great man Jimmy and the like (good Melb people) ran the place.

And we also had our key forward miss most of the year, not to mention other injuries.

You have to be kidding yourself if you don't believe ex players aren't going to have a soft spot for teams they played for, doesn't mean they barrack for them when we play against them. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Bernie Vince was there somewhere barracking for Adelaide. ?

He also coached terribly this year and our forward line was disfunctional in most matches. Bloke is having a laugg, cashing in a paycheck from Melbourne and barracking for the opposition. Wonder what his feelings were during the ANZAC eve match

Took us from 1944 points to 2035 points despite Hogan out for most of the year, Watts turning up in bad condition, no Vanders and Kent falling off the wagon. Developed ANB and Melksham in to pretty solid half forwards. Got a fair bit out of Hannan. And for a lot of the year our forward pressure took a big leap forward. 

There's issues for sure - talls getting in each others way, not enough leading up at the kickers and inconsistent tackle pressure. But Chaplin's coaching didn't make things worse than last year.

What is embarrassing is that you'd do that and that so many of our supporters think it's OK to have senior club officials showing active support for the opposition. Other clubs wouldn't accept it. TONY SHAW lost a bet and had a Tigers scarf on at Richmond open training. The comments that flew his way, a media man and former player, were in stark contrast to the apathy being shown here. You might be OK with it, I'm not and the soft underbelly exists at the mFC coz those in charge don't understand the culture and are there merely to be paid. Your result...meek performances like Rd 23 2017.

And I cheered loudly when they kicked away from Crows.

I'd be more concerned with the company he's keeping..

Too right Deemented !!!  But wasn't it Toby Mitchell who was suspended by the Bandidos for associating with Jake King ?? 

By the way , well done on cracking the 1000 posts !!

IF the Dees were in the Grand Final then I'd hope Cam Bruce, Brad Miller, Adem Yze etc were all there watching and cheering the boys on.

I'm more concerned that they wouldn't be than that Chaplin - 1 year post retirement - was watching the Tigers.

    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’

    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.
