C'mon man, he was kicking at 72% accuracy at goal last season... Give the kid a break. He is working harder now being the 2nd ruck.

Van Rooyen, not a ruckman, poor hands, Billings, not his type of game.

joeboy - tripping night fantastic some inspired triplets tonight. Some Milton would be proud of or are sword and sandal movies being revived in Rundleland?

eg. 
Gawn - an Herculean performance  so apt 
Chandler - courageous and clever  bandages flapping in the breeze gives that ambulant epic look.

Viney- blood and guts now that was an Epic! 

El Langdon watch; yes young Ed is very much on track covering post to post.

Just slightly perplexed by;

Hore - limited but impressive  skills wise or ToG%? Definitely not lacking ticker.

Told ya about Jeffo. Had a rare off day with his accuracy but marked at will.

With JVR he is being made to ruck at 193 cms which is pretty hard for starters and then when he is forward, the ball is again being kicked high to a pack, hence his high flying miracle attempts.

When he is given some decent passes, combined with his accuracy at goal kicking, he will produce some very good performances.

You have my vote pf. 

Give the young kid some space.  When not required to do so much ruck work , like last year, he made some great leads, clunked some strong mark and kicked some super goals

He is going through a rough spot and needs support not  mockery

I am not mocking him. Just saying I think he is overrated.

JVR will be a top shelfer. Some of you clowns were seeing the compensation pick as a win win if we lost Viney to geelong fo free agency in pre 2021. So I interpret what a number of you think about football as though I was picking up my dogs feaces off your front lawn to be honest when it comes to knowing our players.  

Would be an interesting thread to dig up

He also provides defensive efforts. Last night he got a key contested mark with 2 minutes on the clock and Port just bombing into our 50. Those can be game winning one percenters.

See what I mean below. Case in Point. All re: Jack Viney staying or going in sep 20. He was always our same Jack.  Some people or  just thick. And on that premise I will not buy the JVR is over rated or no good.

    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
