You'd think the AFL would allow regional games like these to broadcast over the internet by 5AA. This is a joke by the AFL.

5AA may not have the rights to stream the match but we'll still be able to listen to KG and Cornsey's post-mortem. We can only hope the boys from Vic kick some Crow ass. I tried driving around in the car listening to 1395AM but only occasionally was there a snatch of anything which could have resembled a footy broadcast (the opera was good though).

We are now down by 9 points

Wind or no wind, a pathetic effort

Hopefully, that was our equivalent to last week's fade out.

Best players according to bigfooty Adelaide poster - White, Ferg, Petterd and Whelan (none of who played last week).

Really though, the team does not even closely resemble that which will take the field in round 1 v St. Kilda and I don't know how much you can take from the game.

how strong a team are the blackbirds fielding ?? who of their lot of note is missing ...if any...cheers

go Dees

1/2 Time

Melb 3.2.20

Ade 3.11.29

Melb has gone handball crazy and are turning it over with over use of the ball. Commentators can't believe what Melb are doing. Quote, "Melb wont make the eight playing this type of footy".

Pettard took a great contested pack mark.

White (8 marks) and Jamar still dominating. P.Johnson getting smashed when given a run in the ruck.

Breeze still fairly handy (to Adelaide that quarter).

Haven't heard of and don't think the following are playing: Carroll, Rivers, Neitz, Brock, Neville, Robbo, Brown, TJ, Ward, Wheats, Pickett, Bartram, Col, Newton, Warnock,

Yze 1 touch so far.

Holland off in the 1st qtr with a suspected corky on the thigh.

i said a few years ago we would win a flag in 07 or 08, but mind you if we play this handball crap we might as well sack daniher now and bring back balme

i will tear down the mcg if we continue with this crap, i truly hope the crows [censored] us by 15 goals so we might give up on this pathetic useless style of game

Er, yes. Apparently we've been doing a fair bit of the run and carry stuff and it hasn't come off all that often.

I don't think it helps much having a Midfield Specialist Coach whose background is ugly, lock-down, one-on-one, accountable footy.

    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
