Can anyone tell me why he wears a black sleeve on his left arm? Have I missed something?

it’s a compression sleeve. 

think he is better now and it is a bit of a signature like MJ’s one glove.

On AFL360 he said it was to give a little bit of protection to the arm and the scarring caused by a serious post-op infection. Probably helps him mentally as well given the serious nature of the break and the wound suffered.  Impressive by him to come back as he has.

JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

They were just outplayed tonight 

Have you tried to catch a domestic flight lately? I reckon you’d spend 3 hours on a plane to fly from tulla to Essendon !

I thought the Pies were slightly off their game from the first bounce.

Sidebottom was moving like a glacier.

And De Goooooey, terrible disposal and couldn't break the tackle of an auskicker

Are they tiring? There last 3 rounds are tough games. Hopefully they cop a few injuries and get bundled out in straight sets…..the only thing better than that is us winning the flag. In fact the trifecta is the Pies going out, us winning and then getting Harley Reid. Can you imagine the celebrations? I mean seriously, that’s a life changing chain of events. Anything after that is of little consequence.

So, can I be first to declare the opening of Colliwobble season?

Bit early this year, but climate change is messing up all of these natural cycles.

the Pies are winning based on system. They have some average players out there. 

How good was it to see Cox crack the naannies on the bench?

Moore 8 clangers!

Do frees against count as clangers? Moore gave away a few frees in the last.

C'mon man.
They were on fire early.
Marking everything in the F50 and kicked 2.2 before Carlton scored.

Also got a few doggy frees which helped. UMPIRE ALERT. Watch for #23. Some weird interpretations.

I really don't want Power to win the minor premiership. 

Were Pies fatigued last night or are Carlton a good side. Was their Power win legit or did Power rest too many players?

They have had some soft opposition of late but they did look good last night. They have a good run home from here too.

No chance port will finish top.  

Tough game tonight, cats at kp next week.

Easy last three games, but they are effectively 3 games behind the pies - 8 points plus 20 odd percentage. 

Even if they don't lose another game, pies would have to drop 3 of their last 4 games.

Don't think it will be a tough game for them tonite. No Rankine or Roshellli for the crows is a huge loss.

No doubt there was.
Always is nowadays.
I won't be watching it again though.

    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
