Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

I'm still quietly confident 

I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

heads must roll

if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

What do you want me to do? 

- 16 contested

Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

Our midfield is really broken.

Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
So…. Ummm… yeah 

The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position.

    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

    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.
