When Collingwood lose I actually enjoy roaming Brian.  But he should have a red nose.  But I enjoy it good for a laugh

It really is disgusting, the way his commentary deteriorates when The Filth are losing 

it’s like a funeral.

Is anyone watching the fox coverage? Did anyone else see the clip that jordan Lewis showed where Sydney were running it through the middle and Lewis was highlighting the lack of pressure then the clip showed Degoey and Maynard giving each other a high 5 in the middle. 

Sydney kicked a goal from that

If I saw 2 Melbourne players do that while the opposition team were running down and scoring a goal I'd be mad.

I'm just here to put my display pic back in rotation. 

Was recently telling another DL-er that your profile pic is hands down my favourite on this site. It’s simply never not funny 😁

Sydney not interested in taking clean possessions all the time. Very good at: hand passing out to space, tapping, jumping, punching the ball forward, gut running both ways until they get that clean possession that sets them up. They look super fast and fit. Did not expect them to do that at The G. We need to take the game on rather than play safe footy. Hoping to see some drive and flair against the Dogs.

What game did you watch?

Tonight's game with Sydney playing it, and was like every other Sydney game played for the last twenty years.

Congest the game, form and scrum(or whatever they call it in rugby when they stop/start), then congest again, frustrate, and break if you can.

Horrible to watch.

Looks like the elastic band has finally snapped with the Magpies. 2 full seasons of playing the way they did was always going to be unsustainable, unfortunately they managed to get a flag during that period.

Hunger and momentum are hard things to hold on to, we’ve seen us have it and then lose it. We need to get it again quick, or our window will indeed close.

The handball, tap on  get it forward at cost method was really noticeable wasn't it. 

It's actually what we are trying to do, so I'd disagree we're playing safe, at least in the three games we've played thus far.

The tigers have played a similar model too in their four games ie lots of  chaotic handballing and knock on with a focus on forward movement and swarming.

Perhaps it's this years version of the Pies 2022 and 2023 fast translation from half back method with the same wave running and handballs, but with less kicking (ie Pies used aggressive, quality kicking to cut through zones - whilst still using hand to link up).

What was impressive about the Swans tonight was they also kicked super well.

That said, they had a lot of kicks under no pressure. Pies were gassed.

Missed it. What was the high 5 for ?

Maynard told DeGoey the Pies have two byes this season, DeGoey was just happy he gets an extra trip to Bali.

We will have a better clue tomorrow as to if our efforts against the swans, on their ground, in tough conditions, with a makeshift forward line was actually pretty admirable. 

Seeing what they did to the pies last night, on a full size ground, does give the impression they are contenders. 

Exciting times for bloods fans

    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
