Shocking end of game play by Armon.  Took the mark with 1.04 on the clock.  Kicked the ball at .42 seconds.  Chewed up all that time spinning the ball thinking about what to do, didn't appear to be looking to pass.

Looked like  he was caught between wanting to be the hero kicking the miracle goal and scared to muck it up.  Took the hero option and mucked it up.

He knew he couldn't make the distance so should have looked for a pass to someone closer or quickly drop it at the 20-30 mt mark from goal, to have a chance of a win.   A kick to the top of the square was bound to be a point, Carlton kick in, game over.   And that is what happened.

A shorter kick may not have got them a goal and the win but it would give them a chance.

Just saw the replay of Jeremy Howe on AFL360 ahead of his 200th and he commented that he is impatient and would love dearly to win a flag before his time is up... it made me feel warm inside.

Carlton have no idea how to stop ops momentum.  The 8 goal turnaround cost them 25+% points which will be critical when its time to separate the pack in the 8.

We know only too well momentum is really hard to stop and suffered for it through 2018-20.  When they learn to do that they could become become a good side.

Third game out of five where Carlton have come out of the blocks looking a million bucks and then ground to a halt.

Round 2 vs the Dogs they kicked 12.4 in the first half but then only 4.2 in the second, having a 38 point lead whittled down to 12.

Round 3 vs Hawthorn they kicked 9 of the first 11 goals but then only 2 more, going from 42 points up to behind in the last quarter.

Then today they were 50 points up just before half time and at one stage had just a 1 point lead.

They've won 9 quarters for the year (out of 20), but 7 of those have been in the first half (i.e. 7 out of 10).

Does anybody know the purpose of all this ball-spinning we're seeing these days from many players?

Sorry but too personal to discuss.

Finally able to sit down to watch some footy today. My goodness I despise Essendon. I reckon I barrack harder against them than any other team. I simply hope they fail. And that spud ruckman of theirs; if Cody Weightman is the most punchable head in footy, this bloke is a close second. Whinging moaning, dill.

No 50mt penalties against him - YET.

Geez Essendon fans are feral. And I know this for sure coz I just spotted a couple of people in the crowd that I’ve seen around my suburb. My most recent sighting was the old push-bike ride with one hand on the handlebar and a slab under the other arm. (Coz no licence coz drink driving probs.) And fish n chips package occy-strapped to the parcel rack. And with a cigarette hanging outta the beak. And it was the woman! No [censored]. True story.

The bombers season is over in round 5.  how good is life?!

Freo look solid, arguably the best defence after us - only team to have conceded less than us.  When Fyfe comes back, they'll be top 8

    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.
