i dont know what is with you melbourne supporters... you seem to spend a whole lot of time trying to find someone to blame everytime something bad happens..

right now the demons biggest problem is us.. us people who are happy to rejoice when we win, but only happy to throw criticism when we lose.

stop being so bloody negative, grow up and get behind your team.... they cant do it without you!!!

and if all else fails, you can have my mantra from last year (im a bombers supporter).... the only way we can go is up!

keep the faith people

No..the problem right now is a team that plays like a bunch of hacks ..i.e 'not-a-team' !!

stop being so bloody negative, grow up and get behind your team.... they cant do it without you!!!

well actually they do...you see we dont take to the ground.. they do..its ALL up to them!!

d)and if all else fails, you can have my mantra from last year (im a bombers supporter).... the only way we can go is up!

something I can agree with... good job we dont have relegation eh ?? lol

AAsh... like Vic we're in a bit of a drought.. for ooooh... bit over 40 years now... lets just say the novelty has well and truly worn off... can we borrow your coach please...pretty please !! :-)

Ahh it must be fun being you ash! :P

Life isn't all sunshine and lollipops unfortunately and the same goes with footy. If people put in their hard earned for a membership and their team underperforms, I think they have the right to vent their frustration...

To be honest, with Neitz, Robbo, McLean, Pickett, Bartram and I'm sure I'm forgetting some others all out and injured, supposed superstars Trav and Davey (and Yze for that matter) in terrible form and a coach that for whatever reason refuses to employ a game plan that actually won us games last year, I'm not so sure that anything to do with us supporters is Melbourne's 'biggest problem.'

Also, I would have thought that rejoicing with a win and getting frusturated with a loss was a perfectly natural reaction?

And we're not at all happy when we 'throw criticism' - we're generally pretty p-ssed off! It's just so frusturating when you know how capable your side is but yet at the moment they are almost performing like that side that exists every season; that side that all the other teams see as a guaranteed win. I would usually go into a Geelong game feeling pretty good, pretty confident but this week, I'm a bit scared to say the least.

I sat there today amongst some Hawthorn supporters (who really were very sore winners <_< ) and considered that either we will step up in the next few games and shrug off these first two games as total rubbish and not even a snicker of a showcase of how much of a strong, talented side we really are OR perhaps this won't be our year at all. Yes, it's early in the season but how can one not be discouraged by what we're seeing (as in the gameplan), who's out injured, etc etc?

It might not sound like it (!) but I still am 'keeping the faith', as you say and I'm just very anxious, as are we all, to see what the next few rounds will bring.

But anyhow, I suspect things look a bit different all the way from the top of the ladder, hey Ash ;)

lol.. i dont think we'll be there come round 22... this is just the beginning of a long season, and a lot can change in 20 weeks. i wasn't meaning any of what i said as a massive criticism, and i understand that when you're team loses you need to vent, but i honestly think yesterday was a positive (injuries aside). compared to round 1 when the team just laid down and let the saints run away with it, we saw some fight from our second teir players which is fantastic!

i just thought that some positivety around here wouldn't kill anyone. :)

I dunno Ash. What the team needs is respect in order to facilitate confidence. Not unconditional love. Respect, like trust, is earned... and even the demon players would probably agree they've not earned our respect. We'll win games this year, of course we will. But to what end is the frustrating thing...

    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
