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). 

Just look at clubs NSW with the latest data breach. " Oh just go and replace your ID documents such as driver licences".

Mmm, not so easy.

Schadenfreude and the memory of this is all that gets me out of bed at the moment.

If anything happens in footy this week more stupid than playing someone a single WEEK after a hamstring tear, it’ll have to be REALLY stupid.

What more can a coach do if his medical staff have cleared a guy to play and he's ticked all boxes?

Sometimes the only thing a recovered hamstring injury is susceptible to is another hamstring injury.

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.

#classic Demonland.

Defence works 999,999 times.

It's doesn't work on the millionth occasion and it's all doom and gloom

Careful @Demonland. It’s not as if we’ve got the best finals form line recently, either.

They all do it. 

It's also not a one-way street. I've noticed in the past that the MFC is one organisation to have acquired my data from a third party.

BT just described about JHF when he had the ball, actually said the horney one. What the hell

One stage I heard him saying something along the lines of "been lots of dirty balls tonight" referencing Port's inside 50 entries.

Yes, Port are a dirty team but BT... too far man.

And that wasn't even the stupidest thing.

Rozee slightly hyper extended his leg, in much the same way as he did to hurt it the previous week (a weird action I've not seen before in terms of a hammy injury - is that a common way to hurt a hammy @Webber?)

Was clearly limping. Went to the bench for 9 minutes or some such.

AND CAME BACK ON, before getting subbed off a short time after.

Hinkley said he erred selecting him, but was adamant there was no risk of further damage by putting him back out on the field.

He may well be right, but if you think it was a unnecessary risk picking him, why double down and risk putting him back on?

Variations thereof, yes. Hamstring tears occur substantially at full pace acceleration on the leading leg. Just after the foot secures in the turf, the hamstring load goes from 0 to 100 in order to pull the body through. That’s when they happen - maximal tension at full length. The idea of not making it worse by sending him back on is wishful thinking at best, delusion at worst. Staggering stuff. I don’t get it.

Rozee should not have been playing and should not have come on for a second time either. The insanity is partially explained by the fact that Port hate, hate the Crows. Its not some puffed up faux rivalry, they really can't stand each other (I have a work colleague who supports the Crows and another who follows Port).

Kenny is getting pretty desperate I think. They extended his contract but if they continue to falter and lose the same way as they have done for a little while now I think they'll move him on, with the succession plan already in motion. Cornes this morning suggesting the loss felt a lot bigger for Port than just a 'regular' loss and that maybe it sums up a lot about Hinkley and what he's done over the years. He's been there a long time now and they still appear a bit flakey to me.

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

Another nnon-universal rule of the AFL.

I am mystified by how far players can run when kicking-in after a behind.  I'd assume they can't run more than 15m from the end of the goal square. Yet they often run much much further than that and it would be easy for the umps to judge given they have a 9m ruler nearby.  Am I missing a rule?

And may they smash each other into next year!

    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
