All these finals permutations are getting confusing. Remind me again, are we cheering for or against Sydney today?

About time Jones stood up when we need him. Constantly goes missing when the heat is on.

Great news...no surgery, well at least not for today. Means to get to see our boys get up!!  Super excited to see hunt back, if he gets up and going he will make is a much better side.

So you think we can with is? Sydney are tearing us apart ATM 

Of course I do.  Not every game goes exactly to script.  The Swans are a proud side who still have plenty of talent across the ground.  It was never going to be a walk in park.

We're Top 4 for a reason.  Our second halves are pretty strong normally and we've got plenty of improvement left in us.  

Absolute madness to suggest we can't win it when we have 2 quarters to go and we're 2 goals down.

Who is surprised that when we need him most, Gawn is going at 50% fitness, Oliver is nowhere to be seen, likewise Jones, likewise Lewis. TMac can’t buy a goal, and Sydney can’t miss. 

[censored] me why do I do this to myself? Why do I get my hopes up every damn year?

Become a poker machine addict instead and enjoy the good things in life

Not currently, we're not.

If we blow it today (which we look certain to do, given how predictably we blow these golden opportunities) we won't find ourselves back in the 4 again this year.

No they are not, we’re just kicking behinds. Stats also suggest we’re ahead

they kicked 6.1 and found a concerning amount of space. if you're equating having more of the ball to them not tearing us apart you're delusional. That was a complete belting.

Friends, we can still win this! I'm at the G, and it's almost as gloomy as it is on the forum!

Sure, we dished out a fair bit of garbage in that first half, but the Swans have been lucky/took their chances in front of goal. The stats show we're largely doing the business, and will take control if we just capitalise! 

We'll come out firing! (I'll need it, it's freezing out here!).

Plenty of the game left to be played my friend.  It hasn't been pretty so far, I won't argue that for a second, but we're well within striking distance and I've got faith we can get better in the second half.

Kicking inaccuracy is well & truly going to be an issue for the remainder of this game. 

& for the usually reliable McDonald... his set shot kicking has dropped off a heap over the past month.

Need more composure going forward. 

Lets see if we can make amends in the second half.

??

Fritsch and Hunt to both wings.  Tracc through the middle and changing with Jones resting forward.

2 men down.  Run them off their pants for the win!

Plenty left in this game, particularly with the Swans 2 rotations down.

We can still win, but gfc we need to stop panicking when we have the pill.

I havent given up, .................... yet.

sorry but again our backline is not this issue. lazy everywhere else.

Their D against our attack was always a tight contest. Their attack vs our D I felt they had a huge advantage. The only way I saw us winning this was midfield dominance. They have a lot of stars in there too, Parker, JPK, others... This game was always 50-50... Our inaccuracy is the key. 9 scoring shots to 15... we should be 3-4 goals up.

    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.
