The lack of publicity and recognition for our Paralympians is really sad to me.  I was shocked to learn we give our athletes $20,000 prize money for winning gold but our Paralympians get $0. What a

Hockeyroos make it three from three with a 1-0 victory over Japan. 

Not as convincing as their first two matches given Japan are arguably weaker opposition, but they got the win. Secured a spot in the Quarter Finals.

Also Sam Stosur/Perez have been knocked out of the doubles in the Tennis with a straight sets loss.

Olyroos 1 - 0 v Egypt at half time.

They have been totally outplayed so far. Can't see them equalising let alone winning. 

We had a few chances in the 2nd half but Egypt are up 2-0 now with just over 5 minutes left

Del Solar/Clancy make it 2 from 2 with a really tough 22-20, 21-19 victory over the Italians.  Del Solar the star as Clancy had quite the poor service game, but they were able to get over the line and secure a spot in the Round of 16.  Their next match against Russia should determine who they will face there.

Well done Kookaburras on a tough 4-2 win over New Zealand. Were only 2-1 up with about 6 minutes to go, so wasn't an easy win for them.

Should knock off Spain next which will likely see them draw Great Britain in a Quarter Final and here's hoping the Hockeyroos can also knock the Kiwis off tomorrow night.

Silver for Kyle Chalmers in the 100m Freestyle. Looked like he was going to get it, but just touched out.

Swam half a second faster than Rio as well as revovering from having major shoulder surgery

Beaten by a good type too ... silver a big plus in some ways

Bronze to Australia in the Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay. Bit of a shock as we were expected to dominate this race. 

May have got our order wrong, Titmus kicked off and we were 2nd after her leg which got us off on the wrong foot.

Great effort by the girls, but I know they'll be disappointed not to get the gold! Having said all that, the time we swam would have broke the previous World Record.

Yeah, Ariarna being saved for the 800m?

She's got to be feeling the pinch but to win the triple would be some sort of achievement

Wasn't all that fast on the opening leg by the audio call.  She'd be in the red zone so I get that the coaches don't want to burn her

But as you said, we still broke the world record and were simply beaten by 2 better teams on the day.  No shame in that

Jess Fox magnificent!

So many variables in this sport where not everything is in the athlete's control

So the athletes have to fight against bad luck as well.  The field contained any number of world champions & Olympic medalists too

A worthy winner!

Men's Waterpolo team comes crashing back to earth with a 14-8 loss to Serbia. Were down 10-1 at the half, so they fought it out well. Still in contention for a Quarter Finals birth.

Tough group we're in but hopefully we're able to eke out a win or 2 to advance

Heard today that the Serbians are all fully professional ... doesn't surprise me as Water Polo is huge in the Eastern European Countries

Where as our blokes are strictly part time and all have full time jobs!

Might be a bit tougher to get amongst the medals tomorrow but we are in with a chance in 3 Rowing Finals & the 100m Freestyle for Women.  Saya Sakakibara could surprise in the BMX racing whilst Lucien Delfour is in with a chance in the K1 Canoe/Slalom

    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
