We should go to the Supreme Court and get some sort of injunction thingy where the media are not allowed to cover us all season.  

Please stop talking about us, just pretend we dont exist!

We can't whine when we can't get big name sponsors because we get no airtime and then whine when we get airtime. Success is a double edged sword. We want to keep a lid on it but the attention is good for business. You want good facilities & money to spend of the best people then this attention gets the attention of the big hitters.

I for one can say I have put barely the smallest fragment of a thought into finals or anything of the sort.

I'm very much in the moment and determined to keep it that.  Which is a bit like reminding myself to not think of elephants, but I'm doing my best.

To the extent that I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming that we might realistically win again each new week. And to be honest that is an uncanny joy.

I'm all for the attention.

Attention = relevancy and if the team continues to perform well that'll eventually = respect.

Tonight on the sports news our team selection for Saturday was the second story, ahead of (would you believe) a story re the new Collingwood president!

If for some mad reason the doggies happened to drop to GWS on Friday and we smashed the Tigres..(by a lot)......Then it would be the first time ever in Nathan Jones career that he finished a home and away round with Melbourne on top of the ladder.

If the Dogs lost to GWS and we beat the Tigers, it doesn’t matter what the margin is as we will sit on top of the ladder regardless, being the only undefeated team.

I guess we should bring out the old adage "Thats what we stand for". Nothing would give me the tom t1ts more than hearing Tony Shaw, Danny Frawley, Mark McClure or some other low IQ loud mouth searching for another insulting question about our club, by asking what we stand for?

What does any club stand for?

...and to answer my own question, I think that playing Nate Jones for his 300th on the biggest game of our year, which may make a slight difference to the result shows our spirit.

Dermie meanwhile said on reviewing the game that if we were tough and ruthless we would look at leaving him out. Dermie you are a c0ckhead.

Geez. That was a breath of fresh air compared to the cliche ridden crap we have to endure on CH9 & CH7. He went for a whole 1 minute 40 seconds without calling anyone or everyone a champion, legend or star. Wowee!

I don't mind speculating the 'what ifs' if we're able to keep most key players on the park and what if we can win X number of games for the remainder?  Where would we likely finish on the ladder IF?  I think most do that.  But outside of that i never think anything beyond who's ahead of us this coming week.

Most of these journalists writing these articles have no idea what it's like to live through what we have lived through.  Some no doubt might if they follow the likes of the Saints or Bulldogs (prior to 2016).

I believe they are confusing "enjoying winning more often vs the ****ty feeling when you lose alot" ...with dreaming.  They are mutually exclusive from where i sit and i never scream the house down as a fan during a match thinking "oh if we win this, we might win most of our coming matches, we might make finals and we might make a GF.  Hec we might win it this year".

This is all just journalist and opposition clap trap.  Most would hate for us to have any success as they can't stand the idea of such a loser club (in their minds) beating up on their beloved club/s.

Most journalists, regardless of how much they might scream... "i'm a professional unbiased journalist", are barracking for the team they followed as a kid growing up or the team/s they played for.  They want to see their team/s winning, they don't want to see us have success.  There might be a few rare ones who maybe follow other sports and don't have a team they support who are truly unbiased and want to see the under-dog succeed, such as us, or have us as a second team.  However, you could probably count them on one hand.

The rest are dying for us to fall over at some point so they can all say "I knew it", "You heard it here first", "Same old Demons" etc.

The only way to shut the [censored] supporters and journalists up is to keep winning and bashing up on their precious clubs.  Many of whom got to where they are from winning so many premierships in the 70s and 80s (namely Carlton, Richmond and Hawthorn) by rorting the zone system the VFL set up in 1970 for a good 15 years prior to it being disbanded in 1985.

For all those supporters and journalists, especially the ones who follow those three cheating clubs in particular, and who might be whining about us having a few wins in a row....SUCK IT UP CHEATERS! ?

Who are you kidding, people? You are all a 5 goal loss away from bloodletting about playing too many kids, or about our NQR players that ‘aren’t good enough for a flag winning team,’ or about the whipping boys of the past, present and future being the reason you sulk on the way to work...

I’m overreacting sure but this board is insufferable this week - just as it will be after our next bad loss...

    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
