The Cats have brought mostly man v man pressure with a slight drop away from that in the second quarter.

The Swans have completely crumbled under that pressure.

When we played them (twice), we brought our usual 2/3 rds rolling zone giving them too much time and space, making them look a million $$.

Hopefullly Goody & the FD will recognise this and change things up a fair degree in 2023.

If they don't and continue to drag out the loose rolling zone at the start of 2023 i'll be super worried about our chances.

I suggest a lifetime ban for anyone who chooses Geelong as their preferred winner.

I can’t believe that any of the Swans players haven’t crunched in and try to make it slow and physical. Make it hard for them. Instead they’ve just rolled over.

I reckon our boys would be a bit embarrassed today. May, Viney and Oliver wouldn’t have just accepted this.

They would be hurting, a team they demolished 12 months earlier now taking the [censored] against a bunch of misfits.

In fairness to the Bulldogs last year they fought for 3 quarters but got rolled by the most demoralising and blistering 5 minutes of football I think I’ve ever seen, and it broke them.

Contrasted to the Swans who have never been in this. Not for a minute.

Someone could put a gun to my head and still I won’t watch Dangerfield get a premiership medal. 🤮 

Might get a Normie yet. He was dead slow last year. He and Selwood are flying.

Gotta wonder about fitness and player management.

Not sure how our midfield got handled by this Swans outfit.

Hate the Cats, but credit to them. Amidst all the jokes about the 'retirement village' they walked the walk while the other teams that might have challenged them talked the talk.

This is a pretty poor advertisement for the game in general. Two 12+ goal grand finals in a row. If the Swans are the second best team that could be served up it's a worry.

FMD!! I just came in from raking leaves ..... I'm going back to it.

Tonight I will drink booze while avoiding Fox and FTA.  There's a couple of decent Korean shows on Netflix while boozing.

Uncle Bitter is signing off ...... before I vomit.

Bledisloe and Rabbitohs playing tonight.

Thoroughly recommend Train to Busan on SBS. Just an awesome zombie movie.

I feel like I'm watching one now and the Zombies are winning!

    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
