In the football tipping.    Did anyone pick. Swans and Bombers to both win, and relatively easily as well, 

All our games need to be played as danger games    No easy wins.  Go hard or go home !

I have noticed that over recent years, when a team loses to Melbourne, they seem to go on a losing streak for a couple of games.

It goes waaaaay back, actually.  It's almost as uncanny as Melbourne disproportionately playing sides with new coaches.

We outright broke the will of a few teams back in the 2004-2006 run.  Very strange stuff - we would play teams which were in the eight when they were our opponents but then by the end of the H/A season they wouldn't count as beating a top-8 opponent when everyone was prognosticating about finals.

Still... St Kilda... this is wildly bad. Maybe a few players read the Rod Owen article pre-game and wondered exactly what all last week's proud culture talk was really worth?

Gee we only beat the saints by 3 goals. Essendon are up by 10, so what does that say about us? Surely essendon aren't that great. They have all these injuries and are flying. 

The saints have just gone backwards. I mean they were a top 8 side who won a final and are getting thrashed by a basket case team. 

Says we didn’t kick straight. Essendon and us had the same amount of shots as of right now.

Just about every team has players kicking bags except us

Is it too much to ask of Fritsch, T mac, Trac or anyone to kick 6+ tomorrow?

We really should target a recruit to do that!  ??  (just having a laugh)

But seriously, yes, please, can someone properly get a hold of it for us soon.  That's where the real fun smashings start.

I reckon this year is just as much about defence and we are lucky enough to have a rock solid defensive unit at the moment. No way Essendon waltz through and score against us like they did today.

Don't worry. The goals will flow once BB and/or the Weid return.

I expect to see some serious back pedaling in the media this week. A lot of commentators talked up st kilda.

Nah, I heard one of them already saying they've got players out. Yeah, two ruckmen. Crouch played today and had little impact. Old man Hannebery? Laughable. People need to get serious here. St Kilda are all system. They don't really have elite talent, certainly not under 25. Maybe King in time, but he's still developing. If they're off at all, St Kilda get beaten.

I hope you realise OD that the only reason we allowed you back into the state was because of the positive comments you made while you were in banana land.

Please do not revert back to the old negative you or you might find yourself being deported.

You must be confusing me with someone else NC.

Those academy players are really a gift to the Swans over the last few years and even though he hasn’t played yet,  Jamara UH the number 1 draft pick  given to a finals side last year is another gift. 

It’s a blight on the game. I also think the father son has to be further dialled back in if not eradicated entirely - yes it’s not a popular view and I get that there is a bit of romanticism about the tradition. But we will have another pick 1 go to a non wooden spooner this year and in the interest of ensuring an equal competition - is counter intuitive.

Only 20?

They had a successful 90’s (though could argue not as successful as it should’ve been with the team they had). 

Since then they’ve been a team that’s always sat middle table trying to push for finals but never doing much more, too afraid to bottom out. Now they have and reaped what they’ve sowed for the last decade. Even that run of wins they had a few years back were clearly flukes against lowly opposition, we were awful and only just lost to them (BBB got some of the softest free kicks ever that day).

Eagles are red hot (against a well credentialled outfit)

Still excellent viewing even though the game has blown out

As a measurement, we're going to have to be rather good to match up against this sort of standard!

Port are probably wondering what's hit them

    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
