Where's the fricken whistle for not coming to the 9 against Brisvegas then?  Kozzie got the whistle, zero warning then "FIFTY' ...no warning 

You should know the answer to this. I do.

I can’t decide in my mind whether we would have given Geelong a much closer contest or also got thrashed ourselves.

either way it’s embarrassing watching this Brisbane performance knowing they just knocked us out. 

Only way we would've done ok in the Prelim is to have beaten the Swans and go straight in getting the week break i reckon

How we lost to that team last week is beyond me. 
Geelong got their grand final. Well done to the AFL and ol brother Scott for ensuring it happened. 
Hope they get smashed next week. 

I’d rather see the filth win the damn thing than the Cats. Hopefully it won’t come to that and Sydney takes care of both of them

The scary thing is that quite a few star Cats have been relatively quiet tonight. Rohan, Cameron, Guthrie, Stengle, Smith

They will absolutely slaughter Sydney or Collingwood 

Well ... They didn't slaughter Collingwood 2 weeks ago.

I hate to admit this but the Cats played a brand of football tonight that we never saw from the Demons this season. Not a weakness anywhere. 

Learnings from 2021 PF??

James Brayshaw for suggesting Geelong have been the best side of the past decade despite winning about 0 premierships.

Geelong really are the “boys club” of the AFL.

Hmm, Hawthorn = 3, Tigers = 3, Geelong currently = 0 (but probably 1 by the end of next week). Yeah I can see how imbeciles can come to that conclusion.

It's disturbing to watch Dangerfield outsprint his opponents most of the night. 

Interesting to watch these old blokes going harder than some of our young players tonight 

They aren’t going harder, they have more to give. Our boys tried their hearts out this year, but they didn’t have the petrol tickets.

We would have given the Cats a much better match.
 

Simply … We threw it away this year.

Dunno what their numbers were this week but last game Selwood and Danger only played about 8-9minutes per qtr.
When they were on they'd go flat out.

    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.
