I'm not happy about Sellwood being allowed to stay on the ground covered in blood.  It is arguable that we missed the top four last   season  because  Max  was dismissed  for the last minute at Geelon

The soulless GilWS into a prelim, how boring. 

There will be room surely for them to fit both their supporters into the G?

At least it isn’t at their home hole with the amplified canned cheering  ?

3 of the 4 preliminary finalists are playing very average football.  So many clubs will be looking at this years as a big missed opportunity.  

(Richmond will win at a canter)

There is literally no one to root for next week. I probably hate Richmond the least but knowing that at least one of Collingwood/Giants and potentially the Cats are in the GF is nightmare fuel. Eagles, Bulldogs and Lions were all far more tolerable options and they're all out! [censored]!

Brisbane forwards have been a disgrace this quarter

They kept bombing down the line to the area where the Circus had a spare.  Silly strat.  Then when they finally switched the ball across HB (on one occasion only in the last), they got it to a free in Robertson who instead of keeping the ball live and bouncing up to the Arc,  launched it from the wing resulting in a shallow ball inside 50 which was easier defended and that was that.

He looks VERY ordinary at best.  Another list clogger.

We identify a need for outside run and the bloke we identifies plays in the ruck.

Can't believe Fagan didn't get Martin back on until about a minute and a half to go.

Was a little proppy with about 10 to go and went to the bench but you need to have your best players on the ground, especially the followers, in that last 5 minutes.

Nice throw by the Circus which got the ball going forward for their winning goal.

Played ruck for about 20 minutes approx SK.  Looking at the rest of his game he had little to no impact unfortunately.

Yep one of Richmond, Collingwood, Cats or Great Waste of Space will be Premiers......this season cannot end quick enough.

Our last 12 seasons, bar one, have ended even quicker WWS.

Yeah, I did hear that RN , just watched the last quarter and I am being a bit dramatic but I was underwhelmed.

Ugh so the premier will come from collingwood, giants, tigs or cats. I might just build a bunker somewhere and come back out half way through October. This is the worst possible outcome. 

I do not want any of them to win. 

But watching brisbane dominate in that final quarter was like watching melbourne. Had the ball but could not convert. What was with the players kicking to the boundary, why did the forwards all lead to the boundary. 

Chris Fagan would be very frustrated.

One of the worst umpires finals I can remember. They really lost control of it in the first half and Lions did a Dees in the second

Brisbane like us also got too many players sucked into the contests and leaving a GWS player to get free over the back in their virtually empty forward line with a couple of minutes to go was very callow. Back line should have been packed solid. Enjoyed Stefan Martin’s game though. Monstered the Mummy.

Frustrated for a couple of weeks maybe..

Bloke would be rubbing his hands together with the team he’s got on his hands. This years achievement was premature.

Id kill to have what they have. They play for keeps...something out players don’t do. It’s all too hard..

What a game by Charlie Cameron after getting that injury in the first minute. 

Hyper extending the elbow. Wow that would be so painful. But he played a cracking game

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
