Sharing-time (again) Humour me please  Yeah so last Friday I had a routine mammogram. Monday I got the call no one ever wants to receive: they think they “saw something” on the imagining. Tuesday

BBB is in for a ripper season I think. Doesn't get outmarked, brings the ball to ground at worst and makes a contest. Plus has a bit of a run at players to force them out wide before they kick.

The absolute nerve that we can can come back after conseding 8 consecutive goals without 5 members from our premiership backline. Watch out 2022, here we come!

Yikes. Bevo has lost the plot tonight.

Anyone else catch that presser? WTF!

 

One of the worst press conferences I've seen.

Insulating a journalist for reporting facts, and questioning him because it came from a leak.

A horrible look.

Tried to throw him out of coach meeting. Bevo said it was his loyalty to MFC  because Morris heard of Jason J  was out 10 minutes before the game.Tom Morris basically laughed at him.

It was so good being back there watching this team. Seriously, Dogs got a run on for about 15 minutes and managed to kick 8 somehow. I thought we managed to stem the tide about 15 minutes into the second quarter and managed a couple of goals to be well within striking distance at halftime.

Trac’s two-way running was unbelievable from ground level, what a performance by him.  
T Mac in defence stood out big time, some great closing speed and big spoils, thought he very good.

Above all, what a mature outfit we are witnessing. With all the reshuffling after Salo and Lever a late out that was a very impressive performance.

Angry the dogs are leaky, way to harsh on Tom Morris

I didnt really care about the win till I saw Chopper Beveridge blame a journo for Doggies not being good enough. [censored] Bevo [censored] the Doggies. It was a late withdrawal for Gods Sake. Grow up F$%%Wit

Apparently it's also follow on from Gardiner being out if the GF, which Morris apparently broke. That's why Bevo said two games and both were Melbourne.

Yep.

Truly shocking.

Woeful for the dogs and will dominate the news about this game now.

 

One of the most remarkable press conferences I've ever seen.

Toys well and truly ejected from the pram.

Whinging about the McDonald's ball blocking the sponsors on his shirt (despite them covering the wall behind him) then that gutless attack.

Only question is how big a penalty he gets from the AFL

The more I digest that out burst from Beveridge the worse it is. Tried to say Tom has a conflict due to growing up a Dee's supporter, he was just reporting info.

 

Then to play the mental health aspect when again all Morris did was report team lineup news. 

What do you think that attack could do to Tom's mental health bevo , disgusting

Took us a while to sort out our backline after Salem went down, but we were settled by 1/2 time.

Adjusted well in the 2nd half. Liked Smith’s game tonight (reckon he would’ve done well on Naughton). 
 

Herculean effort by Trac. To get us back in the game……put the team on his shoulders and just wouldn’t accept us losing.

We may have another one in Bedford. 

Put a 10 year deal in front of Jacko.

Max…….. stand and deliver.

Bang, bang , bang , bang

Thought Tom Morris handled it well. Didn’t take a backwards step and wasn’t standing for Bevo asking him to leaving the press conference. 

Absolutely. Bevo directly attacking him asking if he thinks that Fox are proud of his journalism and he responds with 'I'm just doing my job, they back me 100%' was great.

    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
