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

Obviously you didn't see Paul Williams play.

Calm down guys - it's a practice match - the scores are irrelevant.

I'm just interested in the progress of the younger players and guys like Moloney who haven't played in a while.

You're not worried about what this is going to do to our percentage Scoop?

hard to take when 10 years ago we played this handball crazy game and got flogged every week and took us really till 2 years ago to get rid of it

besides you do things in games and tight situations that you train and handballing out of those situations are usually the worst option

id also love to watch the young kids playing too and knowing how well they are playing, id just rather it with a direct, straight down the corrider style of football

Reminds me of the first time I found this site in March(or Feb) 2002 when we eventually had a great year.

We had been beaten by St Kilda in a pre season game and the site was on fire.

Some people never learn.

Something is in the air. We are gettng great practice at hand ball.

We don't know what's going on. And why should we? We know nothing anyway.

Who cares?

If they had kicked today rather than practice their handball it would lead to a Premiership? Demand feeding definitely has a down side.

Goal to Mattner - the 7th unanswered goal. Down by 36 now, correction 35 - Brad Miller just missed from dead in front.

did you have to?

I don't want another Brad Miller thread.

There are people who won't leave him alone.

We have them rattled now with Aaron Davey and Cameron Bruce goalling (from 60 metres).

Melbourne 5.4.34

Adelaide 9.15.69

Meanwhile the whacker on 5aa keeps on saying:-

"5aa does not hold the rights to stream its football commentaries on the internet…

If you want to listen to a football commentary on line you should go to afl.com.au… [don't waste your time]

5aa will resume internet streaming at the conclusion of its internet commentary….

Thank you for listening."

Trouble is that he doesn't sound like such a whacker now!

For God Sake - someone hand out the nerve pills - have a look at the side we sent over. What did you all expect??? Yee of little faith!

The whole match can be taken with a "care factor - NIL" attitude - what does it matter???? This is just a chance for our youngsters to get a feel for the game - if we were serious, we wouldn't have left the big boys at home.

What do you all want - a massive win in a game that counts for nothing? Then you would all be on here moaning about the injuries to our senior players.

I would sooner cop a flogging and keep the boys that count for the matches that count!

we were never going to kick a winning score without neitz and robbo, and anyone who thinks so is completely deluded.

the score as scoop amongst others so rightly pointed out is irrelevant. to get match fitness into the 12 or so guys who will line up in round 1 is by far the most important aspect. little else matters. we wont have more handballs than kicks in round 1, the match commitee aren't that stupid.

    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.

    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
