I just heard on SEN that Byron Pickett has been suspended for 1 week for failing to turn up to Sunday's game. He was an emergency.

It also said he drank alcohol on Saturday night!

Mmm running out of patience with Choppy!!!

Wow. it's all happening for us this season :rolleyes:

Very disappointing, especially from a highly-paid senior player who should know better.

Glad to see the club taking immidate action. Given the current climate, you have to be seriously stupid to break any sort of team-rule.

Hmm. Didnt know he was an emergency. Still, deserves the suspension if he was drinking and didnt show up.

Perhaps he can run himself right into match fitness and get hungry!!

if he is quitting as per another thread, I will spew.

Norm smith at Port, premiership hardman at North but now giving up? don't understand why he comes to Melbourne with a half #ssed attitude.

He won't be playing for at least 5 weeks - such a great player wasting a great talent.

Its a real shame as he is so exciting to watch.

sort of does lend cred to that "other" thread..

As with many I certainly hope he sees a way forward from this. Still ...with his contract up this year ( correct if wrong!! ) and unlikely to front in red/blue for at least 5 weeks.. Doesnt bode well :-((

As i thougth...he wasnt 100% on the pitch..

Byron ...hope ya work it out there !!

this is a disgrace!!

so disappointed in byron this year... returning from holidays overweight and out of condition, his appearances and play in the red and blue this year have been very ordinary and then this....

as the statements says, he now has to consider his future....

well, this should be the start of pre season for next year for byron..... prove us how good you still are and not a bloke looking for free cash!!

you could almost be forgiven for thinking that this is 'all over red rover' and what we are now seeing is the public 'going through the motions '. This is football after all..lol.. with all it's "football speak!!"

not really harsh. Not turning up to a senior game as an emergency is almost unforgivable.

Does anyone bleed for this jumper anymore??????

in all honestly i would have to say little do, i would put into that bracket mclean, neitz, robo. They have visibly shown it to me personally. i awould almost slot johnstone in there. I know it might sound strange but he has been offered a fair bit of coin to leave but stayed and he also has shown genuine frustration at our losses. Dont mistake his sometimes inability to run. As i said at the start of the season he would start slow due to his broken toe and n ow we are seeing a fully fit trav!!

Time to go byron and promote hughes(who i think has grown up a demons fan which mite help our cause a little!!!!)

pure speculation..( and remonstrate if you wish ) but i sense that what we are seeing is not the real matter in hand...just its public guise.

Byron hasnt been there 100 % all year. whatever ills are troubling the bloke this trangression of rules this past weekend is not the 'entirity' of the matter I would suggest. Whatever the whatever is it would seem to have been around for a while. The punishment almost says that. Its as thought its very measured and conspired to allow a graceful out...from both parties. yes...could be reading far too much into this...or not !!

as with all things ...time will tell... You just get that itch that this isnt over.

    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
