Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

I didn’t even know he was out there, this can’t be helping his confidence.

She's had birthdays before and she'll have them again. Why do wives think their silly birthday is more important than a big dees win over the saints ?? Go to the game and enjoy it.

I still struggle with the Tyson hate.  Had two shanks. Pinged holding the ball im the back half (Hunt and Hannan should have been pinged in the first quarter for the same) and the second shank in

Game is closer than the score shows thanks to their kicking. We are over possessing and too many cute kicks but moving the ball more aggressively than we have all year. Brayshaw and Tyson both been very good but both have had some clangers. Our forward smalls play too high and we aren’t capitalising at the drop of the contest in 50. Need to get a couple of early ones and put them away.

I must be watching a diff game. Tyson has been caught twice and lucky not to be pinged for another few. Disposal has been average.

 

Better 2nd half, but he has to get rid of ball quicker and cleaner.

Yeah totally agree. We were reasonable in the first and pretty average in the second. Need to go for the first option a bit more. We also started to look a bit lost going into forward 50. Need to bring it down and get some forward pressure.

Nibbler..done some good things...stuffs his finish...a few bad boo-boos. Result.... negative.

Strap yourselves in / so begins the infamous Melb fade out followed by 12 goals by st kilda and inaction by Goodwin 

You're quickly becoming a poster not worth reading, timbo.

I’m so angry with that last goal, so soft and yet I could feel it coming.

We really aren't playing that well. Conceding soft goals as well. I want a ripping last quarter 

I know we need to have high expectations, but we're up by 6 goals.  Scratch that, 7.

You guys are ridiculous sometimes.  Opposition sides WILL kick goals and WILL have some good pieces of play.  That's footy.  We've just had far more of them.

Hard to believe some of the negativity reading through this thread you would think we are 40 points down, not 50 pts up with a quarter to go. far cry from a few years ago hey...

Jones has been great today except for the two play ons when he shouldn’t have but at least he was having a go.

Jones looks like a liability sometimes but jesus he works hard so impressive.

should never play on he is too damn slow

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
