David Parkin gave Cripps votes today in the ABC Player of the Year award.

He was good, but that’s a joke.

It’s “Nathan Buckley Syndrome”. When you’re the only good player playing a lone hand in a [censored] team you’ll always get a few votes so that the media pundits can still get them on their show.

I hope every single Melbourne supporter enjoyed every minute of that today.   That performance could not have gotten any better, and after the last decade and with what we've put up with it's so

We are now responsible for Carlton's biggest loss at the MCG, surpassing their 108 point loss to Collingwood in 2002.

ANB lost his grandad, hence the armband. Did him proud. Played some sort of game today. His kicking was excellent!

He certainly played well. 

Watching from the fence I thought he was in our top 3 players today. One of his goals was on the back of him winning the ball at half back and beginning the chain. Terrific reward for effort.

As usual, covered the most distance.

Real test next week. will be interesting to see if the Crows still have key players missing, we might hit them at the right time. Weirdly i'd be more confident against them at Adelaide oval then in the NT.

How about just concentrating on beating whomever they put out there.  Best or second best, we just need to beat them

1st Win I have seen live since 2006 (I am officially not a jinx and can contemplate a return trip to Australia just before the racing carnival. Am trying to remember the last 100 point win.

Tom McDonald, several goal assists to go with 4, BOG for mine. that running back with the flight of the ball and putting his right hand out to juggle and gather the ball was the prettiest piece of footy all day. 

Saw Melksham at Jerry's milkbar this morning in Elwood, with his wife and kid, so left him alone, have always thought they made a good breakfast, worked for him. 

Oliver need a TV to see his work, I understand why the umps have no clue whether he throws, impossible to see sometimes he is so quick, his hands are up there with Muhammad Ali for speed.

Lever close to BOG, best game I think I've seen him play, getting better every week.

Smith got better and better.

Lewis is putting together his best set of games for Melbourne at the moment (sad to say, but I think he's playing like he might finish this year, he is really putting it all out there)

Vince needs a spell, couple of times when I thought he could chase and didn't, and he is under the microscope every time by the umps.

Hannan - I guess his defensive pressure is what justifies his place, he's not in for disposal efficiency.

Gawn, did some great things. 

We had the crowd I thought, for a Carlton home game, was seeing far more red. Loved the team game, they are always looking for the goal assist.

We were lucky with umps, got the rub of the green. I would have felt stiff as a blues fan, especially the free for holding the man when the Carlton player ran back with the flight of the ball (mark of the year that wasnt) super brave. Speaking of which , the umps seem to make it quite tough to call a mark a mark.

 

I have only watched the first half so far, but I was appalled b6 the numbers of incorrect disposals the Cheetas got away with and the inconsistency in the interpretation thereof.

What a game that was. Even contribution across the field. Viney was pretty ineffective but will be much better for the run. For those saying that Hogan didn’t impact the game, I must insist that you look at our goals again. He must have directly assisted 4-5 which is a ridiculous number. 

He has become a supreme team player this year. Last year really transformed his from a boy to a man. Our best player wth Max so far this year.

We have momentum now. It’s a 50/50 game against Adelaide next week, win and we really set ourselves up for a good year.

 

Hogan officially recorded as 4 goal assists but in the first half at least he contributed in many other ways   This even spread has become a real strength

Smart arse Cripps saying on radio how much he's going to enjoy playing Melbourne because of what happened last year. Well don't think he enjoyed the day very much at all.

31 disposals, 8 Mark’s, 9 tackles and a goal is a fair effort in a team that lost by 109 points. 

Stats aren’t everything but Cripps was very good and, I reckon, deserved a vote particularly as we had an even performance across the ground

Well, I know Simmo's not a great sleeper, but apart from that......?

I suspect his security hangs on the remainder of this season.  They are going really well, right now 2018.

I just checked their draw to read who they've beaten, and most don't really impress me, but even the Tiges aren't a shadow of the old Cats and old Hawks. 

What this shows me is that the competition has evened up more, than i had realised last year.

Beware the Swans in 2018_

It genuinely feels odd to see a scoreline in which we won by 100+ points. 

And I love it. 

The big tests are still to come, starting with Adelaide. But, when we were 2-3 we all knew we needed to win these four games, and build percentage, to set up our season. We’ve done exactly what we needed to.

Don't think so. I believe that our win in R6 of 2004 was by a few points more

He was B o G in my view. Look at his Fantasy points, 140 to Tom MCD 113

I loved that today.  Everyone put in.  We kicked them when they were down.  I even saw a few players shepherding for each other which is virtually unheard of for us.  As an added bonus I saw an effort being made by our midfield to try to hit forward targets instead of just bombing every time. 

Also, What a game from Timmy the Bull!  No goals, but plenty of quality work crashing packs and fighting at ground level.

The one on the left is Zac Fisher, Jarrod Garlett is the one next to him. The third one is Harry McKay and, as has been correctly pointed out already, the tall one is Kreuzer (lucky we lost the Kreuzer cup).

    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
