Comrades.

Due to a difference of opinion with "The Boss" I was not able to make it to the G today.

I was wondering how PJ fared, in terms of his fit in the team? Did he get enough game-time?

For all those doubters out there - and I might be wrong at this point - I could have sworn I saw him taking an overhead mark in the Second Quarter down back.

But then again, when I was hunting down in Tassie five years ago and sinking a few, I reckon I saw a dog with stripes all over its back running around in the bush. Perhaps it's time I hit OPSM and got off the aviation-fuel style moonshine.

Stand by the Dees.

Biffinator.

His mark down back was a ripper.

He did well today PJ - more than enough to retain his spot.

He worked a lot harder around the packs than Jamar does.

Was one of the many positives to come out of that day, however hard it was.

He was very good. He's like a young Jeff White. Not quite as good as he could be in the ruck, but he's like another midfielder. He took some excellent saving marks today, and his disposal is alot better than half the teams. A much better long-term option than Jamar, he impressed me today. Should hold his spot all year, and I think if he does, Jamar may struggle to ever play for us again.

I thought he was pretty good today. Showed more than Jamar has recently in the same limited amount of game time. Worked very hard around the packs and really wasnt too bad in the ruck and overhead (his major weakness) against one of the best in the biz in Lade. And he'll only get better now too... I just hope ND persists with him and only brings Jamar back if he really earns it, and PJ deserves to be dropped...

And lets be honest, is Jamar's ruckin really that much better than PJ's? I think what PJ offers with his ground skills is worth more than what Jamar can offer overhead or in the ruck.

Could be a big call, but I think today could of very well been the demise of Mark Jamar at AFL level. Well done big man, excellent game today. :)

Jury still out on whether we can accommodate for a crumber stuck in a giant's body.

we'd take buddy franklin if he came our way...

his mark down back shows the improvement he has made since he first started with us, injurys have cut him down, but should be in our 22 for the rest of the year if fit

PJ has decent disposal and he is willing to throw himself at a pack to get the punch etc.

He's worth getting game time into this season, and I think he's probably worth keeping on the list.

    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
