Actually I think everything he has done tonight has been OK. All his disposals have been clean and have gone to a player in a better position. Not a game changing performance by any means but not woeful. 

I've lost count how many times thats been said about him over the journey.

Hes a 171 game veteran, and yet still plays like a 2nd year player.

Bombers massively overrated by media. Have had a charmed run meeting injury depleted sides for their “best wins”. GWS, WCE, Port, even Sydney were missing plenty. Not to mention Richmond last week. Ladder absolutely reflects where they are at.

Cameron Ling writing us off in the finals due to lack of experience, and the Cats can go deep in September but hes not being biased he said.....

Well he has gone to the "Channel 7 finishing school" to be able to come out with waffle like that. Biased my foot. Stupid, stupid comment only outdone by his looks.

He was also one of the lowest ranked players on the field. His career is running on fumes now unfortunately. This will be his last contract.

Potting Watts, Motlop and Rockliff is barking up the wrong tree

Port have a massive cultural issue with the likes of Wingard, Gray, Westhoff and Dixon

Selfish footballers who never, ever involve teammates

It might be Watts' last contract, ever, but Hinkley needs to take charge now or he'll be gone too

With Ports loss we are now guaranteed to play in September. Well done boys. 

Say what???

Port could have won by 40 goals and they still wouldn't have made it. 

Geelong were the only ones with any interest in that game and I doubt they were even watching.

So it turns out our drought-breaking, finals-securing win was the 90+ point win over Gold Coast two weeks ago. Sure didn't feel like it at the time.

Imagine we lost last week and tomorrow, most likely 4 teams would miss finals on %. Crazy year!

You obviously didn't notice Westhoff mark 30 out on an angle, but clearly gettable, pass to Ryder straight in front, but a bit further out.

Westhoff had 5 goals at the time and that would have been number 6 for him.

The Hoff and Robbie Gray are two of the most unselfish and brilliant players in the competition

Westhoff in particular is severely underrated everywhere outside of Alberton

Port’s midfield is very one-paced outside of Polec - and it looks like he’s definitely on his way to North for their first round pick, which they are desperate to get rid of so that they aren’t forced to pay ‘overs’ for Tarryn Thomas

No, I only watched snippets of the yawn fest

My post is based on long term observations and actions, not one incident

Posters are bagging out Watts, et al, but their cultural issues run deep

Ports mid-field was seriously exposed. 

With Leuenberger off the field, Ryder should have had a field day with Stringer as his opposing ruck.  But there was no-one to hit it to.  Incredible. 

Ollie Wines not sighted for most of the match.  Wingard doing anything but kick the ball.  Gray looking for the season to end.  If it wasn't for Westhoff kicking 5 the result would have been very, very ugly......and we don't want to give the drug cheats that much hope for next season.

Incorrect. Geelong is likely to win, therefore if Port were to win by 150 and we were to lose by 150, they'd have come in for us. It went right down to the wire.

OK you got me there Prada....  But I think it would have to be closer to dare I say it 186 each way lol. 

Our +/- is over 500, Ports is just over 100!

    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
