As much as I'm on this ‘death ride’ with the rest of ya’s, it’s sorta morphed into a Jackson bashing session.  Remember it’s about where Freo finish this season.  Jackson might be dealing personal

I like this. This is one of the more reasonable posters over in purple land on Bigfooty.      Melbourne laughing at us. Langdon for peanuts now Jackson for 2 firsts (one looking low!) plus

I'm positive that's exactly how he would spell it.

Richmond has to knock off north next week and I'm not overly confident about it. Could slide back to pick 6 in worst case scenario.

Silver lining for a Freo win next week v Port, will be us back in the top 2. If the Pies also get it done. 

Edit: I mean this slightly sarcastically. Massive silver lining lol

Why is Richmond tanking? Don't they know the pick doesn't belong to them?

Hardwick saw the mess and jumped early when offered a nice young list

Not surprising to read that a lot of aspiring coaches aren't applying for the position.

West coast Eagles are a laughingstock. How is Adam Simpson still in a job?

Cost a fortune to break his contract.

Things are so bad now after Freo debacle they may have no choice.

Will be staggering if he's still there in 2024. Theyre a very wealthy club.

They'll cut a massive cheque and be done with him.

Adam Simpson is the least of the problems at West Coast

Their list management and fitness and conditioning teams need to be thrown out. 

They need a complete overhaul of both.

Health and conditioning head has been sacked. And no doubt their recruitment has been poor.

i think Simpson is a big part of the problem. for whatever reason the players are obviously not playing for him. Thats a death knell for any coach. the only reason he is still there is because of his contract. Too expensive to sack.

Useless bloody Suns couldn’t hold onto their lead, but the umpires did help to drag the blues over the line.

Pick 4 will still be ours as long as the Suns can knock off roos and the hawks can take care of Freo.

Yes. That push out of Casboult was pretty obvious. 4 umpires and none of them can see it.

pick 5 minimum and still a good chance for pick 4.

The hawks will beat Freo next week i reckon but I hate relying on the Suns to hold up their end of the bargain. Wouldn't be surprised if the chit the bed against the roos. Most undependable team in the league

Roos losing in the Reid cup is an absolute certainty.

i thought the same about WC

Yes but they still have Curtin.

North could have called their bluff and said take Reid and we take Curtin.

Then swap them 2 years later anyway.

Both clubs now get their first choice player.

true. but WC could have split pick 1 and got a couple of picks. 

do you think they'll split pick 2 or take curtin with it?

I like our chances of getting Pick 4. On form I can't see how Fremantle beat Hawthorn and Gold Coast should beat North. Or both sides could win or lose and Gold Coast make up the 1.6% percentage differential (32 points right now).

    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
