Caro had Bartlett and the MFC of 2019 squarely in her sights tonight:

 

They did an extra minute or so analysis on Saturday night's game amongst other things that we have all heard before which aren't included here...I'll try to dig that up.

NB: It's now a well accepted fact that Caro does not frequent DL.

The media are a funny lot, having a go at us ( fair enough we suck ) but bringing up about how Richmond at the end of 2016 had the potential for two board challengers and no one cares at Melbourne. What a crock, if where in the same place next year I bet there will be challengers lining up the board and then you watch Caro come out with its so destabilising it’s going to cost the club so much money it’s not what the club needs it’s so Melbourne. 

I feel it’s fair to say we have been rubbish for so long had one ok year and back down the bottom of the ladder again that other clubs, media and other supporters just feel that’s where we belong. Welcome back Saturday and Sunday early and twilight games with little talk about us. Until we have a minimum five years in a row playing finals and challenging I can’t see people outside of Demons fans ever changing their thoughts about us really.

This year has been an unmitigated disaster of the biggest proportions, thank goodness it’s nearly over bring on 2020 it simply can’t be this bad again.

If we were relevant:

  • we wouldn’t sell games to the NT
  • we would have a home base
  • we would not allow GCS to get picks 1 and 2 this year.
  • scrutiny would have been applied at round 6, not 20
  • we would get a fair go or even an armchair ride from the umps

’nuff said?

Lets be real, we've had a horrific year and for the most part avoided the blow torch. it was always coming and it's probably deserved.

A great example of the pot calling the kettle black. 

I thought it was a  bit rich having a go at the small crowd turn up to Saturday night's game. Melbourne supporters had good reason not to be up and about for this game. What about the Richmond supporters? Haven't they got a huge membership? They didn't bother either.

Carro’s opinion really means [censored] zero. If she had come out after 5-10 rounds and said it sure, but to wait til the season so pretty much done is a easy thing to do. 

I got banned once for giving my true opinion of her so let me just say, the only reason she prob commented on is this week is cos we played her tiggers. She is irrelevant, like hutch and Damo they care more for the scandal than the game.

Wilson having a crack at The MFC...

Really? I am genuinely shocked she would do that...

We are 17th with 5 wins (Very easily that number could have been 3)

We deserve whatever...

We also could have easily won several more close games. Did she lose her dentures while she was having her lisping go at us?

This year has been complete garbage, how year back it up next year could define us for the next decade. If 2020 is another disappointing year then we could slip back to being a permanent fixture in the bottom 5, if we're able to bounce back strongly and learn from the mistakes of 2019 it could set us up for a strong 5-10 years. 

As for being relevant, actually couldn't care less about that right now.

By the way, was she seriously being critical for has having 52,000 members?

Caro Wilson putting the boot in?  How very surprising.  She should retire, buy a cake shop and spend the rest of her life making halloween biscuits.

Now i don't watch footy classified as I have better things to do like watch grass grow or paint dry. But I assume they spent time discussing collingwoods injurys?

I hope she was as blunt about saying Collingwood fall from the top 4 since getting injurys is also pathetic. If (and i admit its a big if) we beat Collingwood this week both teams will have 3 wins post bye, one of theirs by a point and another against the Sun's. 

Teams with injurys lose matches, it's not that complicated

YEP ! Thats sums it up along with the genuine pity showed to us by supporters of other clubs. Gee I hate that.

Look, I mean, she's not wrong... i do find it funny though that ever media personality that talks about Melbourne mentions that...the media's not talking about Melbourne.

It's a class thing imo. People like Caro love seeing the Dees down the bottom while her Toiges are at the top.

But...she's not wrong.

I don’t like her, but she’s 100% correct.

All the work of the past few years has been undone this year, and no one is surprised or cares because it’s same old failed Melbourne.

I dont know about being irrelevant, because the media keep talking about us, saying we have escaped the scrutiny, feels like we have been in the gun now for 4 weeks?

What i do know is that I'm back to being embarrassed, which sux, because i love the club but its embarrassing  what they have served up this year, id rather be irrelevant than an embarrassing football club.

    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
