This is the most pathetic forward 50 display I’ve ever seen.

Billings - 4 touches

Fritsch - 3 touches

Petty - 1 touch

Pickett - 1 touch

JVR - 7 touches and not one in our 50

Inside 50s - 28 to 20 our way, and not a single score from any of them.


The ball is being walked out. Everyone else is pulling their weight. No matter how good your midfield and defence is you can’t counter the ball being rebounded out so quickly.

It ain’t the forwards mate. The delivery in is bordering u15s. Not much a forward can do when it’s kicked on top of their heads.

We just don’t have an in form midfielder unfortunately 

We have a one paced midfield full stop a crash and bang one, we need speed in it.

Tall forwards getting outnumbered, that’s a work rate problem from our small forwards.

Our delivery is pretty poor inside 50.

Umps aren’t great, but they aren’t the cause of our problems. How about moving the ball aggressively?

2nd quarter 

Petracca 👏👍🏻

Billings 🤢

Oliver 🤢🤢

Pickett 🤢🤢🤢

Crntre clearances 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Goodwin finally tagged Walsh 😡

? full strength team ? Only Salem out of best 22? 
 

umpiring is HORRENDOUS 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. So inconsistent!!! Favouring Carlton unbelievably

Good summary.

I said our talls in our fwd line was an unknown issue pregame. And Turner, Petty and Jvr have not scored .

Sadly Fritta and Kozzie have been at least just as bad.

Chin and Billings need a rest. Sub Chin off... he must be injured.

Sparrow played a good 2 nd quarter. Tracca our forward.

Hard to really name other good players tonight.

A lot of panic out there with some really poor decisions and it really looks like the same team against the lions.

I know there is no reason but every time this club has a big win our talks a player up the next week seems to be a shocker.

Are our sights too low. Do we seem too content after beating cats?

I know it sounds silly but seems to be a recurring theme. 

Let's just hope we can finish with a bit more dignity and not allow them to kick another fifty points to get to one hundred.

Hunker down after tonight. Drop three or four players and come back better next week's.

I know we'd still be losing if umps didn't give away so many frees but it's still a really poor effort from them tonight. Just really really poor.

Percentage counts. If they weren't so biased with 11 to 3 we would be three goals down.

I actually wish the club would cop a fine and just call tonight out as a rubbish effort.

Can't blame the forwards when we can't kick to advantage, even our first goal was not to trac's advantage

Every week our midfield is beaten too easily in the contest! It’s one thing to focus on sling shot footy for scoring efficiency, but is another to be beaten too easily in this area when the good teams manufacture goals with top KPP forwards. Viney, Petracca and Oliver are too good to work against their strengths. 
 

Now about a game plan that has contested footy and slingshot goal efficiency! The two can exist. MacQualter needs to find the balance,

Still think we'll make game of this. It's been a [censored] show thus far, but we'll get to see what our leaders are made of in the second half. 

I just wished we didn't have to make up so much ground. We have been putrid and the umpiring hasn't helped. Carlton need to win and are doing everything right to make us pay. I'm hoping the Dees come out with some fire power!

Not buying that. Forwards ground ball fumbles are prolific.

Our only hope is that Carlton fade badly after half time and we get a second wind after long rotations of players in the first half. 

Really need an extra goal before half time to aid the comeback, but it is what it is.

Swallow murdered 3 inside 50's, didn't see him look and don't think he was under the pressure he thought he was. Pickett also a ghost.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
