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

Bronze for Australia in the Mixed medley relay. I do question the decision to go with Temple in the Butterfly and McKeon in the freestyle as opposed to McKeon in Butterfly and Chalmers in freestyle, but they've done extremely well.

After Taylor McKeown's efforts today, we are only 1 gold medal away from equalling our greatest ever performance in the pool and 2 away from our best ever. Tomorrow is the final day in the pool for the games and we've got three chances to make the marks. Our best chance is probably in the women's 50m Freestyle witn Emma McKeon fastest qualifier and Cate Campbell there to. Then another good chance comes in thd Womens 4x100m Medley relay with the same two listed above along with Taylor McKeown and Chelsea Hodges to do a job in the breastroke. Our final chance is the mens 4x100m Medley relay with Mitch Larkin, Izac Stublety-Cook, Matthew Temple and Kyle Chalmers. Gold medal probably highly unlikely there, but you never do know?

Hockeyroos defeat Argentina 2-0 to go through their group match undefeated. A fantastic win!

Will now meet either India or Ireland in the Quarter Finals who we should be far to strong for.

Kaylee McKeown sorry, for some reason I was naming her sister who competed at the last Olympics...

In other news our mens waterpolo team were flogged again 16-5, this time by Spain. Have a match to come against Kazakhstan which we should win, but given the goals against to for differential that we have, it looks unlikely we'll progress to the Quarter Finals.

Harry 'The Demon' Garside has won through to the quarter finals in the Light Weight Boxing after winning all 3 rounds against his Namibian opponent

One more win and he is assured of a medal but he'd have grander designs you'd imagine!

Great gutsy win by the Boomers over Germany tonight 89-76. Germany were on and it took us some time to adjust to the loss of Baynes, but a great win. We got killed on the glass without him, which is of some concern, but this Boomers team has guts!

Next match will be the Quarter Finals. We'll have to wait about 24 hours to find out who our opponent will be. I suspect it will most likely be Slovenia or Argentina, but we'll wait and see.

In other sailing news (apart from the certain gold to be awarded today to Matt Wearn in the laser) the Aussies are currently in 1st position in the Men's 470 (Mathew Belcher & Will Ryan) ... 4 races to go!

And in the Nacra 17 mixed we are in 4th place with 3 races left to run.  Should be able to medal if we finish off well

Nothing better than Novak having a sook for losing an individual medal and then immediately pulling out of the mixed doubles because he’s a sore loser who is all about himself. Complete [censored] jockey.

Counting the gold that we will receive for Matt Wearn in the sailing later on we're now up to 12 gold

... and the Men's 470 (Belcher & Ryan) race twice today at 1.15pm

For those unfamiliar, the competitors race up to 10 times and their worst result doesn't count

So far, Belcher & Ryan have finished 2nd, 5th, 1st, 1st, 4th & 3rd with 4 races to go ... so the 5th placing doesn't count but will count if we finish worse than 5th in any of our remaining races

More Gold!!  Fantastic!!

The 4 x 100m Medley Relay team get it done!

Cate Campbell brings it home after trailing then hitting the front and then being headed with 10 metres to go.  Gutsy!

Kookaburra's win a thriller vs the Netherlands after a penalty shoot-out!

Credit to the Dutch in real time ... they often looked the better team and had lots of forward forays

Eyes going everywhere with devices aplenty in operation with the Demons playing at the same time but the footy was more of an exhibition ... Demons by 98 points in a canter! 

Helps with the confidence re the footy & the hockey!

Kookaburras progress to the Semi Finals in the Hockey with a thrilling 2-2 (3-0) penalty shoot out victory over Netherlands!

Was a lot tougher than it should have been, but they've got their redemption for their Quarter final exit to the same team in Rio. Now on to bigger and better things in the Semi Final against Germany.

What a day for the Aussies!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
