Feel it’ll be the Lions day. Daniher is the key, if he can mark and dominate and kick straight he’s unstoppable 

Pies have choked in GFs for decades 

they are 3 wins from their last 16. 

relax everyone. Maybe Bucks can give the pre match speech on how to choke

Cameron doesn't mind the dry conditions too. Loves playing the filth as well.

Did I just hear that [censored] Hamish McLachlan say about KISS  "world class act for the world's biggest sport?"  Pffffff. What planet is he on?  Soccer, basketball, tennis and cricket say hi.

Might not be the biggest but it's the best

Makes me sick to think of the monumental waste of money the AFL has paid to get KISS today when, for example, our AFLW players, if out injured or rehabbing etc. but wanting to go interstate to support their teammates, have to pay their own way there. That’s just one example. FFS, get a young Aussie band to perform next time.

haven’t been able to bring myself to switch the game on. 

not sure i will

the cheering of Maynard will make me want to murder someone 

I am turning off as soon as it looks like Collingwood has it won. I hope that never happens. I worry the umps will keep it close if the Lions are going well but let the Pies kick away if they can.

Fair to say it applies to all of us today. It's up to the lions to stop us getting too hammered.

Collingwood do often win by small margins, so often one might say it's a strength. 

They certainly dont throw away games and have supporters trying to turn that into how unlucky they were.

On top of that ,thuggery and all,they play like they are enjoying it.

Maybe Goodwins boys could take a leaf out that book and see if it helps their big game lack of composure.

Fmd! 

MFC arnt in the G/F because of  a dysfunctional forward line ,injuries  and lack of poise when the pressure is on.

They certainly try hard though

McRae leans into the 19th man. They are doing this "for the fans".

We won a flag in Perth while we were all at home in our underwear. 

In 2022 our own players were criticising us for not turning up. Then we choke in 4 finals in a row at the MCG.

McRae is a superb coach and their fans are fully bought in. They take them for the ride. I don't feel like I'm on the "journey" that Goodwin talks about. I feel like just an observer. That's the difference between clubs like Melbourne and Collingwood and it's why they've played in like 35% of all Grand Finals.

They’ve played in 20 of the last 80 grand finals but only won three of them. I think I’ll stick with Melbourne.

Kiss are appalling 

Just embarrassing…

Live lead vocals, the rest is backing tracks. Gene Simmons isn't even playing the bass in rhythm to the music.

Mike Brady is always great. Nice nod to RDB.

Gimme the all Australian 2021 pre match anytime.

Probable biased.

But Kiss is so Gill and AFL bombastic BS

I'm loving watching our girls play instead of this hyped up garbage

I can report the beach down on the Mornington Peninsula is superb. It’s pretty crowded so obviously there are a lot of people like myself who don’t give a rats about todays GF.

    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
