We will all be at the G today, supporting the footy club and barracking as loud as usual. It will be bloody freezing and raining, but life is short, so suck it up and see the positives. GO DEES!

Regardless of anything else, bottom handful are under where they need to be. Melksham (OK, coming back from injury), but Dunkley, Baker, JKH not giving enough and/or turning the ball over.

I reckon JHK has done more than Gus, Jones and Oliver today to be honest. 

Melksham clearly not ready for AFL. Gawn looks like he’s done with this rabble of a team for the season and now poor Oscar has to have his confidence destroyed further by rucking against Grundy.

His kicking turnovers have nothing to do with up field turnovers. For exame hs kick to Grundy came after he had marked the ball. Had all the time in the world and still miskicked. Poor technique.

Maybe I am being a bit tough on him. But Lever is our highest paid player and he is being killed by mioeck and his kicking is a real issue.

Don't disagree - but for whatever reason, he's often a really poor decision maker once he gets it.

Don't disagree, he's not the only one. Oliver kicked it out on the fall from a free kick with no pressure. And he's going to be on a hell of a lot more money than Lever in a year or two.

For a brief moment I thought OMAC was going to take the backup ruck job, then it all went pear shaped. 

Goodwin should head to the Genius Bar in the offseason and trade in OMAC for an iMac and design a new gameplan for 2020 success.

We were set up for the switch too. He is supposed to be looking for that, instead kicked straight down  to Grundy leading to a Pies goal.

You pick up only on his turnovers. 

I don't get it. 

Yes, he most definitely needs to tidy up his kicking at times but think about how many goals or opportunities at goal he has saved by either making a genuine killer spoil, intercept marking or out-bodying his opponent to mark. 

Lever has been very very good this game aside from a few kicking blunders.

You obviously missed where he turned the ball over and cost us a goal. JKH no future at all

Can’t beleive we payed 2 first rounders for Lever. Is constantly in no mans land.

I feel alot more comfortable with Hore rather than Lever as our third tall.  This said you don't play someone like Lever in the VFL for more than a week or two and will be better for the run.

Quite a fascinating  reverse of fortunes

1st qtr. We actually  looked half way decen as we controlled the ball...couldn't  kick for [censored] but hey. Still ...looked much better.  But interestingly still a single paced qtr.

2nd qtr Filth worked out how to break our wall...just up the tempo and work rate and our dubious fragile skills all fall apart.  Filth vary the tempo a little finding theirway through and we start fluffing and fumbling like schoolkids again.

Very few of our lot have good vision. Talj about putting your mates under the gun !!

Need to make some moves now. .or over red rover.

0 tackles for Jones in the last 2 matches. Not going to win when our captain is producing [censored] like that. Completely in self preservation mode.

0 pressure whatsoever, whoever is on Jones knows he isn’t at risk of being caught.

And only 2 tackles from the last five games.

Bit harsh on Oscar. He has been serviceable. TRac  disappeared that quarter  because Hibberd Viney and Lever are stuffing up "the connectivity"

In fact Oscar has been competitive in Fwd line. Provides a bigger target. He will be handy as backup swingman.

Lever seems only good when he ia by himself , not a strong 1 on 1 . Hibberd has lost pace and confidence. JKH, Wagner both compeitive and committed.

And our forward line is brimming with talent atm is it?

We would be as close to par with the current Pies forward line as you are ever likely to see in this team's generation coach and they blew us away in 20 minutes of bog ordinary footy.

If you wish to delude yourself that everything will be fine because a year date will change on a calender that is your prerogative.

Oscar into the ruck and HF?  What  possible benefit / message is that sending the rest of the playing group?

I know what i would be thinking.

Maybe we should rename ourselves the Melbourne Excuses?  How about the DumbAzzes?  The Rabbles?

I wonder if max has a hand/wrist injury

    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.
