That wouldn’t happen.

The Dogs struggled to beat Geelong’s VFL side last night.

It was probably only match fitness of Cat’s younger guys in the last quarter that gave Dogs the win.

They look an unhappy team.

geelong are a shadow of last year.  Why isn't that the narrative in the media.  ?

Dogs absolutelt gettable y by anyone in the 8 in Week 1.

The karma bus hit the AFL. Stopped, and backed back over the AFL. The AFL would have had their final round drama if the Keays goal had been awarded. And the reason it wasn't awarded is

I hope Essendon back Dodoro and keep him in for decades to come.

I would love the Dees to have such a goalkicking key forward. 

If Petty has an injury free season next year, bookmark him kicking 50 plus goals.

We had to do it in 1990 against Hawthorn. Won both games, but they were brutal and we had nothing else left in the tank. 

Half true. We had a week off before we played WC at Waverley in the SF due to their draw with Collingwood in the QF in week one and their replay. We should have beaten WC, we let a golden opportunity slip that year.

Bulldogs arent out of the woods yet.

GWS must be a huge chance today with Mr Toby right on form and one of the best defence teams. Those Carlton cheats will he lucky to kick 10 goals.

##&#%%##  F Carlton.

 

Stkilda will be praying for a Dees win. If not, Stkilda's run in Sept will crash into a wall in Week1.  Over and out.

Those 2 games against Hawthorn were all we had. The week off didn’t do anything 

we lost games mid year that cost us

Completely agree. The week's delay meant we were not tuned in in the day we played WC. You could tell in the warmup that we were in trouble.

it’s a joke. If we missed finals after winning the flag they’d be calling for Goodys head

not to mention the bombers not being dragged over the coals with their massive finals choke and 150pt loss.

Watching the Port Richmond game. Considering turning the commentary down. Brereton is just so full of himself.

I don’t mind the coverage having one person as ‘special’ comments, but they just talk way too much. They have a comment on just about every piece of play.

Real incentive for Carlton to beat GWS so they get the Bulldogs in Week 1. Reckon Carlton will rip the Doggies apart.

Another point is who would Port rather play next week. 

They’d rather not play Brisbane in Brisbane.

Incredibly Port have lost 4 straight up at the GABBA and 5 of their last 6 encounters against Brisbane.

They don’t match up well against Brisbane.

And Port are playing like a team that knows it can’t play a week 1 home final, albeit with a small lead.

Geez Butters and Rozee are going to be an issue for us if we play them in the finals.

We’ve already lost to them this year directly because of those 2. They weren’t just key contributors, they we’re the difference in round 10.

Hahahaha

Goody wanted us head to head  last time.

Trust there be more planning into them next time

Well we know they always get 3 from soft Curnow free kicks for a start.

    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
