Gee I guess the secret is sack your coach and you win the following week. But I would love to see Viney or someone just lead the way cripps does. 38 possessions 4 goals. Thats how you bounce back after a quiet week. 

I also read on the herald sun website that a fan was ejected at 1/2 time for abusing Mathew Nicholls. Wonder what was said.

Twice I heard Bruce the Statistician say that Geelong's first-quarter score of 0.2.2 was their lowest since 1957. Obviously couldn't remember the elimination final last year. ?

Wow what is happening to the tigers? They are terrible. Fallen off the cliff. System has broken down. Skills poor. Mistake after mistake. No conection. Whatever could be the reason?   O

I too wish Jack Viney was a 195cm midfielder who could kick with both feet. But alas he's not.

We work with what we have at Melbourne. At least we have Clayton Oliver.

I read that he called him a "bald [censored]" ... so speaking the truth is now an ejecting offence in Gill's PC AFL.

Enough!

 

And Adelaide overran another team with a big lead in the last quarter!  Two weeks in a row,  Have they been swabbed?

Adelaide looked average against us last week but have beaten red hot GWS and are now sitting in 5th.

even though we lost we made crows look second rate. 

Maybe we need to give them more credit and we actually lost to a good team.

bodes well for us vs pies

Would love some of Adelaides home ground advantage, 24 frees to 7!

GWS must have played seriously dirty football and Adelaide the near perfect game is all can say to that.

I read this morning the AFL has come out and said there were 7 incorrect decisions during the game. The count should have been 24-0.

Also, I’m wondering if anyone else saw Phil Davis give Betts a high 5/congratulatory tap after Betts kicked a freakish goal late on? When players were moving back to position I’m almost certain I saw Davis do that and I thought at the time if that was a Melbourne player I’d be livid. 

Curious, is that good sportsmanship to recognise greatness on the spot or is that best left for after the game?

AFL in 2019. Where the AFL arrest and punish fans rather than address the terrible umpiring standards. Where 20-year-old Docklands stadium wins the Brownlow for Best Stadium.

Tried to watch GWS vs Adel which was apparently the game of the round so far. [censored] boring. Sacrilege around here to mention it but the NBA playoffs have been x10 as entertaining. Warriors down 1-3, it's glorious.

It’s sort of akin to a tennis pro tapping their racquet head when an opponent pulls off a miraculous winner, or wins a epic rally. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge the greatness.

Some years ago the Brazilian maestro Ronaldinho, playing for arch rival Barcelona, torched Real Madrid at the Santiago de Bernabeu, putting on a virtuoso display of skill and goal scoring that was simply too brilliant not to appreciate. The Madrid fans gave him a standing ovation as he left the field. Unheard of!

The HS website shows an article of a Max Q&A with May.  Can someone who can get behind the paywall summarise the gist of it please?

Edit:  Should have posted this should be in the Rnd 12 thread.  Nonetheless, would still appreciate it if someone could post summary.  Cheers.

Geelong are lucky enough to have senior players who contribute significantly week in week out. They have four or five players who are plus 28 who feature in their top 15 each week.

Remind me in that sense of North with Harvey and the Saints withe Riewoldt, Montagna and Milne.

They have also lucked into youth in the form of Kelly etc.

Hell..... I'm jealous

MFC are full of excuses, cats have strong culture, development, good drafting & get good free agents. Haven't bottomed  out since 07, won 3 flags & always in the mix to challenge for a flag.

MFC since 07, multiple early picks, rebuild after rebuild, 1 finals appearance & we have fallen off the cliff again in 2019!  Its the Melb way we just sustain any long term success!

    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
