What are these [censored] Free kicks for??

The 50’s are for players running in the protected area. They are being stupidly tight on the rule but we had a few paid like this last year but not 5 in a game. The Hawks game last year comes to kind, a few 50’s for trivial infringements.

The encroachment of the mark is RED HOT.  Dees need to pay attention to this rule of the week - we cant be giving the [censored] 50 m for nothing.

I don't think our players watch other games because we invariably do whatever is the infringement of the week the next day.

You'd think because we play predominantly on Sundays we'd have plenty of time to figure out the rule of the week.

What a pathetic rule

Passing on Curnow is Jason Taylor’s first mistake.

He went at pick 12 and even Carlton took him with their third pick of the draft.

Players develop beyond expectation, it happens.  It wasn't Taylor’s first miss and it won’t be his last.

He has his own rule book ? 

 

It’s something we need to get used to the stars have different rules, how many times does Martin either get someone high in a fend off or drop the ball when tackled, it happens a lot I hope the players are ready for duckwood on Sunday will be frustrating watching his frees

Who else did he miss?  I thought we were into Curnow until his convenient misdemeanour...

He’s missed plenty- it’s not a precise science.  

Salem over Cripps/Crouch

JKH over Darcy B-J

Brayshaw over Lever

Stretch over McGovern

Who washed Carlton’s shorts?

Looks like the white shorts got washed with the blue guernseys...back in the old days when colours ran in the wash.

And what's with the reflective bum-cheek highlights? I [censored] hate Carlton...wankers!

Great first half, but it lost all of its appeal in the second half. Carlton couldn’t hold it together and gave the ball away far too easiy, while Richmond couldn’t kick to save themselves and showed glaring holes in their defence. Couldn’t take much away from that game in terms of indicators for the rest of the season from either team.

It's painful seeing BT in the rooms afterwards. Mindless TV. 

He's a big fat turd ... I apologise if that comment caused offence to big fat turds

What this game said to me ...tigers won the premiership with a very soft draw & an injury free list ...take one player out of their side ...Dustin Martin....& they are gone !!! Also apply that to Essendon & remove Daniher & the same scenario occurs ...I am not going to mention the name of the player that Melb  could ill afford to lose ...(he is very tall), however very confident we cover all other positions ...Go Dees

    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’

    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
