No you don’t. Brisbane had 9 players out from last week due to injury and Covid protocols.  Why are Melbourne supporters so keen to kick their own? It’s bizarre. That win against Brisbane was ama

If you take your arm off the ball to draw the tacklers arm high it should be considered prior and holding the ball. It’s ruining the game. Supporters absolutely loathe it.

If that Ginnivan want to duck his head in every play someone should just remove it from his shoulders.

I don’t think he’s Un Australian. I don’t even know what it means to be ‘Un Australian’. Does that mean he doesn’t have an egg on his burger, and he says Shrimp when he means Prawns?

Regardless I can’t stand Nick. He’s a petulant child whose now been charged with assault. It’s not about what country he comes from, it’s the fact that as a culture we are sick of people who treat women like objects. I hope I never see his terrible haircut and stinky attitude ever again.

Does it mean he throws a shrimp on the barbie?

I actually like Nick but gee he makes it hard to barrack for him. Always just felt sorry for him as he's clearly playing the wrong sport and is a Basketballer in a Tennis players body. Just happens to be super talented and this country is hardly laden with Tennis talent so there you go. 

This latest stuff with the charges does not sound good, we can't have this kind of crap happening.

Act in a certain way as in abuse umpires, spit at fans, disrespect opponents, show a total lack of sportsmanship and generally act like an obnoxious dh.

Lions might lose to Ess tomorrow as they are decimated by injuries and covid protocols.

I prefer they win and make top 4 as I think they won't get their act together in time to succeed in finals this year and will keep some of the other threatening teams out of the top 4 eg Sydney and potentially Carlton, Collingwood and Tigers.  Let those 4 finish 5th to 8th and 2 get eliminated in first week of finals.  Dangerous threats reduced.

Freo are winning but also losing their mojo.  Hope they keep winning to help keep above teams out of top 4 and imv are also not ready to succeed in finals.

The exception to wanting them to win is when they play us in the last month.

Great to see 17th vs 7th playing at a ground with capacity for 100,000 people - unlike Thursday nights 1st vs 2nd played at a stadium with a current capacity of 21,000. 

Remind me again AFL what the point of being successful is?

I have no problem with Collingwood v North being at the MCG. The MCG is Collingwood's home ground.

I also have no problem with Geelong v Melbourne being at GMHBA. GMHBA is Geelong's home ground.

Where I have a problem is Geelong v Richmond being at the MCG. Or Collingwood v Bulldogs being at Marvel. Both those match ups have happened this year and they are examples of sides playing "home" games at their opponent's home ground. It shouldn't happen.

The Marvel tenants (including Essendon and Carlton) should play their home games at Marvel to satisfy the minimum games requirement, and Geelong should put its money where its mouth is and play all 11 home games at GMHBA, with the big Melbourne clubs being sent down there so that North and we don't have to go there every year.

Hugh shout out to Paddy McCartin.  After all he has been through to be playing a big role for Sydney and now getting the praise he deserves.

Fantastic to see Paddy able to start fulfilling his significant potential.

In a way he lived in Petracca's shadow.  Kudos to Sydney for taking the risk and giving Paddy another chance and to make a name for himself in his own right.

Would love to see North get up, not only because it messes with Coll finals hopes but also to get themselves a real boost.

They're genuinely in this game for the moment LH! Wonder if the world famous standing ovation came out at QT!

    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.
