Why do you say that?

We were keen on him at draft obviously and have stayed in touch. Let’s wait and see what happens over the next few years at the Suns…

Sam Weideman is having a really good game tonight. Best I’ve seen him play I think. 
Good to see him doing well. 
 

(have just realised how handy he might be now, damn)

He’s had a few good games this year. It’s good to see him stepping up as a focal point. He’s been better than our tall forward this year for the most part!

That handsome Sam Weideman fella from Bombers looks decent.

I hate Michael Long. I've never forgiven him for his brutal assault on Troy Simmonds in the 2000 GF.

just showed the footage of the north interchange infringement. they had one planned last change. then Shiel hobbled off with cramp and some player ran on

surely a sensible organisation would just say you have to pull the bloke back off. not wait a minute it’ll the ball is with 50 and hand the game to Sydney. 

really embarrassing rule

After his first 2 goals he kicked 3 points. Led/marked well though.

A couple of those points weren’t from the easiest of set-shots. But yeah, he wasn’t clunking his marks this well with us.

The problem seems to be when the penalty is called. It can be really badly manipulated, as we saw today.

Today a free to North was then overturned to pay the interchange penalty. Is that in the rules, I would think not.

Waiting until the ball is forward of centre guarantees a goal.

serious question 

does anyone else get annoyed that the camera zooms in on play and we lose the wide angle view?

they do it more and more. take that great Cameron goal. zoomed in on him so you lose all perspective. 

i think this might be my personal pet peeve but it would make me feel better if anyone even got what i’m taking about. god knows my wife couldn’t give a [censored]

has there ever been a number 1 draft pick that has copped less criticism or interest than McGrath? 

decent player but nothing special. Jack Watts must be scratching his head

DubDee - I am with you 100% on this.  Last night there was so much zoom in that viewers had no idea about what was up the field and where anyone was aiming much of the time.  Appalling.

Who’s the commentator that’s been sucking on the helium? 

Is Terry Wallace back on air?

I thought it was Wallace at 1st.
I think it's Burgoyne.

    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.
