Can we get Eddie McGuire to toss the coin down at the cattery? I hear he's an expert tossar

I'll keep it simple.  If our structures are smart and performed well, and our best 8 players play well we'll win.  The match will be decided by the performances of Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Vi

The garden show- FMD - that's an afternoon of my life I won't get back. Anyway I've just opened a Heathcote Shiraz to calm me down. As to the footy. Well the ducks will have to line up

Lockhart and May good,

Oliver , Viney  and Gawn better than last week .

Jetta and Hibberd missing in action again.

In line for a 40 plus point thumping.

Other teams have improved where we have gone backwards 

Jones Finished, ANB Gone, Petracca , Fat  and Fritsch no wonder he was dropped for PF Not intensive enough

Oliver STAR!!

This is typical of the game day threads I take it? I'm usually too busy watching the game but thought I'd jump on to gauge the mood. I should've known better.

We could be 10 goals up and it would generally be the same.

We look like a scratch team of guys who can play a bit but never have with each other. Just win the contested ball and hack it forward and hope. Unrecognisable from last year. 

It's very hard to put a finger on it. We are uninspiring. Not terrible but closer to it than we are to looking "okay". It's like we're right near the corner to playing good football but are just as close to the corner of awful football. We're neither coming nor going at this point. We're stuck in neutral.

Dunno how we can be even this close when, apparently, 20 of the 22 selected are pathetic, terrible and VFL standard.

This close ???

Funny

That is what we are at the moment. Because we had no good form or confidence,  coming into the season.

I have to say it.  Jones is a liability.  It has nothing to do with his skills or his body.  It's all between his ears.  He's playing stupid.  He's making idiotic decisions repeatedly and it's costing us goals. 

I also have to take a shot at the umpires.  There have been a few absolutely disgraceful decisions in there.  The high contact free against Lockhart on Selwood when he tackled him around the waist was a particularly fine example.  The multiple clear throws by players who were clearly in the umpires' line of sight also stand out to me, in particular the one inside our 50 which should have resulted in a shot on goal. 

And finally, why the Hell do our layers refuse to take shots?  If you get hte ball on 50, FFS TAKE THE SHOT!  Hitting up the hot spot is the same as turning around and kicking the ball towards the opposition's goal.

  Not sure they are the real problem, it’s bigger than that.

Same old story...

Geelong dominate a quarter, pile on goals like nobodies business

We dominate a quarter, and we grind away for a further 1 point deficit

Even last year, we had to absolutely smash teams around the ball to consistently put it on the scoreboard, we don’t have the outside game required yet.

We are not dominating hit outs and centre clearances and from there contested possessions so we are struggling. Familiar story.

Think everyone needs to calm down 

lot of players underdone I for one didn’t expect to win this.

we have been pretty awful yes but we are winning clearances tackles and inside 50s.

 

 

Yep. My expectations were not high after the preseason and last week. I think we are actually playing ok compared to last week.

In no way do I think we are good. Just not terrible. If it was the same as last week I would be very worried for the rest of the year.

Just hoping we can keep up the intensity.

We consistently win inside 50 counts but simply don’t do anything with the opportunities created

    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
