I know JHF does lots of "look at me stuff" but he and Butters are the only two Port players having a crack and chucking themselves at it. 

Port playing like the pretenders they are. 

Port are the textbook definition of downhill skiers. Hate pressure.

Do you know why Temu is so cheap? They actually make their money by selling your personal details on to third-parties (including criminal networks). 

They all do it. I read today that there’s a class action lawsuit happening in the US against the Match Group - who make Tinder, Hinge, OKCupid and essentially all the dating apps. They’ve been selling personal information (including people’s hiv status and sexual preferences) to third parties, while also deliberately hiding likely dating matches from people, to keep them on the apps.

We are living in the Wild West of digital tech. It’s horrendous.

15m in Melbourne must be about 30m in Adelaide as both JHF and Rankine have run a mile without bouncing.

That rule is long dead along with kicking in danger DW.

Powers mids of Rozee, Butters and JHF all need to play well to give them a good shot of winning. It falls away very quickly after that.

Much like our own problems with the midfield. We need all of Trac, Viney & Clarry to be playing well, as our depth ain’t that flash either. 

Difference is we can get away with it given our defence, port don’t have that

I figure through all the cyber attacks we have already had, most criminal enterprises have pretty much everyone’s details anyway.

BT had another fantastic night in the booth.

Started his night by mixing up Butters and Rozee, you know only 2 of Port’s highest profile players. Then ended the night by informing the viewers that Adelaide are off to Darwin to host Brisbane, despite Adelaide never playing a home game in Darwin and probably never will.

Port are falling apart with injuries.

I rate him as a player. Hard at it, honest player.

He’s a great player for sure. His speech after winning the showdown medal was hilarious though… cheers for coming out tonight, cheers to the boys, cheers. 😅

'Master orator'?

Just be a bit careful there, WCW.

Or maybe you were being?...

Yes that is true. Our defence is all time legendary. 

God help us when our backline eventually breaks from being relied upon for the millionth time.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
