Watching Adelaide V GWS and the crows kicked across the ground which the "nuff nuff's" commentating called the "fat side of the ground". Someone please help me understand this and while your at it, "a goalkeeper" WTF. Brayshaw one of the "nuff nuff's". I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

When one of these idiots, and it's usually Bwoooooooce, says such and such is playing the quarterback role, that takes the biscuit for me. Can't stand hearing that being said. P... off to the USA if you are going to talk like that.

There’s something enormously satisfying about Geelong losing.

The only fiddling you should be doing right now is with the ladder predictor. If Port had beaten WCE, then a win over SYD & WCE next week would have us 2nd with the win over GWS in r23 . No need for a Brisbane win.

Nice edit, considering your original post completely ignored the Giants.

Once again, you're just assuming we win all 3 final games. I'll be as happy as anyone to see that happen but I'm also a realist. We dropped a game to the Saints barely a month ago. We haven't beaten anyone in the 8 all season. I'm all for being optimistic but the odds of us winning every match from here are unlikely, all things considered.

How many fresh reminders do you need that this club finds seemingly impossible ways to crush their fans every year? My only focus is on finals. If we make the top 4 I'll be elated but I'd rather see results that cement our place in the 8 and finally break our finals drought once and for all.

Whinging about the decreasing odds of making top 2, when our place in the 8 is so precarious, is shortsighted. Melbourne supporters of all people should know better.

Do you believe, playing near our best, we can win the next 3 games?

Of course. I'm also someone who thought we couldn't possibly bugger up a victory against Geelong if in front by 30 points in the final quarter...

Back to tonight's matches, Collingwood now up by over 2 goals. Brisbane sadly falling away. Make that 3 goals, bugger!

Then, if Port won tonight, how was the thought of finishing second a wet dream?

I'm of the view that the insurance we get from the Port loss is more valuable than the prospect of finishing 2nd.

I believe we can win all three but I don't think that's likely. So I'm more than happy to have Port lose - as has been said, if we beat Sydney tomorrow and Collingwood beats Port next week, then we should (barring BBP's nightmares coming true) have both Geelong and Port covered with our percentage, and that means we play finals (even if North wins out).

Meanwhile tonight's games were exciting 20 minutes ago when Brisbane and Adelaide were both leading.

Now Adelaide's down by 18 and Brisbane's down by 21.

Both then kick goals. Don't dream it's over

Both matches tonight going against us now. Bugger.

Adelaide were already well out of contention so it would've been nice to see them upset the Giants. Their depth is ridiculous sadly, thanks to the ridiculous draft concessions the AFL handed them on a silver platter.

Excuseable defeat for Brisbane given their youth but they really should've gotten the win last week against North. Heartbreaking final minute that was.

You are a supporter who doesn’t seem to understand that it is a learning game ...we get into situations we haven’t been into before & maybe lose but learn ....the team of a month ago who lost to the saints isn’t the team that will face Sydney...I absolutely believe we are good enough to win the next three games but the teams we play also believe they are good enough to win .... we need to win at least one  & in reality win or come close to winning against the other two...you need to go into finals in winning form or otherwise you are Essendon 2017 & just making up the numbers

Noticed quite a few posts questioning the female umpire. Does she support the Pies? Seems she's giving away quite a few questionable free kicks tonight in their favour.

She also didn't allow a clear brisbane advantage where they would have had a certain shot on goal. 

She really needs to hide it a bit better

    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
