There's been a lot of gloom on Demonland of late. Although it must be said that even at the best of times, there is always a healthy miasma of despair hovering around the place. Comes with supporting

I have this feeling in my bones - call it a vibe - that we’re going to win this and win it well. We’re playing poorly but are only a goal behind.  We can do much better than this and it’s ti

Perfectly valid question, would be interested in the answers, of course could be masochism involved, would make a good social study

Me, if I don't see the required team defence from the get go will be switching off

Despite years of beltings I can proudly say I've never once turned off or walked out before full time. Different levels of supporting your team I suppose.

I'll suffer or glee through it however agree Saty the Forwards MUST pressure their defence and Mids NEED to get back and assist the Backs then when we have the ball, lower eyes and hit targets up or in front so they can run onto the pill.

Look I truly do commend you, I should have learnt my lesson I walked out on the Dees V Dogs game in 05 when White won us the game... Sadly I do turn the games off now I think part of me believes me watching is the problem and if I turn it off a miracle might happen....

After the round 4 Hawks debacle last year Jackson came out and said the players 'Trashed Our Brand'. He said questions were asked of the football and coaching departments.

I wonder how long it will take Pert to come out with fire and brimstone if we lose badly tonight and we are 0-4?

Yes.

I will be amazed if the Swans don’t go rampant tonight on their home deck. 

Essendrug are a shiit team and they kicked 8 unanswered last week, after we had taken the lead, thinking the job was done. 

How many times have i witnessed that over many years

The Circle ⭕️ of truth will not be enough when the coach persists with a gameplan that has been punctured and picked apart. 

Strong statements like these are so very worth reading, SWYL. It takes some convincing for some readers, no doubt, but there are some deeper thoughts against which we are fighting but fail to recognise.

There is a cost-saver at hand, thankfully, and it works as a guaranteed reverse investment: sack OMac, stop paying him for wasting our time and good fortunes, and do it before the kick-off for the match against the Swans tonight. Our fortunes will swell from just one action.

Hore's debut was the least promising I've seen, from another club recruit since Tom Gillies in rd 1 2013.

Hope he is better 2nd time around. I'd more faith in Petty (I'll forgive his shocker debut as he is young and has upside) or Spargo!

Sorry to derail.....

The closest I ever came was in Brisbane in 2002. The tickets were a birthday present from some good mates, and when we went to our seats the row behind us was full of workmates that had bought tickets in that very row purely coincidentally, all Brisbane fans.

We were destroyed in the first quarter, 2nd only marginally better, and I was getting caned from all sides. At half time I said I need a break and went to the TAB downstairs. That was no better, but the crowd was starting to get noisy so I went back to the seats. We were back in the game and I was back in full voice. In the end we pumped them and I left hoarse.

German Club for a few more and meet some players, next was the Pineapple for a few more beers, and a security guard I know from around the traps said to me mate are you ok, you don't look great. I said I was flying after the Dees win.

From there into town and a few more pubs and I finally said to the boys I've gotta go, don't feel right. I can't for the life of me remember how I got home, but I do know I got home and flicked on the TV, right as the ball was bounced for Q1 of the replay. Righto, back on the beers and watched the whole game again, a dozen empty stubbies left to clean up in the morning.

I woke up the next day to the phone ringing, was a mate calling to congratulate me. Was on the phone in my Reg Grundys when mum turned up to congratulate me. A mate was staying with me at the time so he let her in and she said in horror, what's happened to your arms (massive bruising on the back of both arms, and legs). I said it's not my arms mum, it's my chest, which was absolutely pounding and I could hardly breathe. I called everyone to see what happened and nobody could remember. Did the cabbie run over you when you got home etc, etc. Possibly, can't remember the trip home.

The boys also bought me a TAB ticket on the Dees, so it was my shout for tucker the next night. RSL (the ticket wasn't that big) for pokies and beers. We'd given up on trying to work out what happened, when one of the lad's eyes lit up. He grabbed a keno ticket, wrote something on the back. He turned it face down and slid it across the table to me (still clutching the chest, but pain dulled by sherbets). I lifted the keno ticket to see 2 words. Wheelie bin.

As we were leaving the ground I was absolutely spraying anyone in Lions gear. Payback for all the times I've put up with their crap. The boys grabbed me and tried to throw me in a wheelie bin to shut me up. By rights they should've got me in, their 300+ kilos to my 75, but they couldn't, I was bulletproof. Or was I?

Off to the doctor next day, fractured sternum, 4-6 in Misso speak, but in reality 8-10. Who needs enemies hey.

My best day at the footy, and the closest I've ever come to walking out.

    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.
