I know this is not really the place to post this but didn’t want to start a new topic. However there is a very great read about Clayton Oliver in the HS today …very insightful. It’s fantastic to have

Looking for a strong, fast start. We know Dees have been finishing matches strongly, but too much left to do in matches we've lost from poor starts. Looking forward to McAdam's first game for the migh

Is it just me or does everyone feel sick with these kind of matches that we should win.

Two things late in the last quarter:

  • Stoppage 10 metres out from WCE point post, Oliver handballs to no-one TOWARDS their goal. 
  • Petty v McGovern on the wing, absolutely no contest at all. No strength or contest, just a simple mark to McGovern.

My wife, who watches some Dees game, but isn't really into footy, said "it looks like they don't want to play". 

Worst I have seen the Dees play since 2019. No intensity or passion at all.

They’ve had 2 seasons to address our fwd issues with BB & Tmac succumbed to injuries & form yet failed trying to turn defenders & Grundy into fwds & in doing so robbed them of another flag 

Spot on, except I'd say it's 3 years we've had to work on an oppo key forward to get them to us, for nadda.

We've played Petty forward when he's a far better back, paid $600k to watch Grundy play VFL, and now are playing BBB and Turner forward simply because there's no one else.

I'd say our window is well and truly shut. One flag during lockdown from the best list we've had in 60 years. So disappointing

The imbalance of our list really showing. We clearly can't trust Fullarton and he's just another break in case of emergency list blogger like Schache. 

I’m confused, you say “CLEARLY can’t trust Fullarton”

Based on what ?

He hasn’t been given a chance yet.

This was the game to try him.

Instead they opted for Brown.

”IMHO” that was incompetency from the Selectors.

Im sorry, but max past it?  He has been in career best form and a lock for AA

He doesn't look 100% fit and he will be 34 next year.

Of course he will still dominate in some games but, how much longer can we expect him to keep going?

Wow. A full implosion.

Getting in now so I've spat my dummy already and am not tempted to join in the post-game misery w---.

Stars were flat, and the tail was loooooong.

Passenger culture creeping in.

It may be time to rethink and plan ahead.

Use this season to develop the team of the future. 

That includes what are we doing with our coaching staff (starting with the Ruckman who is training our forwards).

I have some hope in our yourn guns like JVR, Taj, Windsor, McVee, Kozzy, Rivers.

Maybe it's just the end of the road for our 2021 players like TMac, BBB, Petty (if his head is already in Adelaide), Salem.

We could use some young talent in the midfield. Max is also starting to look past it, and understandably so, he's carried this team since 2015.

It's gonna be a long season.

Agree with all that except Max still a few more good games in him but the others mentioned on the money. The good thing is the game nearly over so don’t have to listen to any more of this commentary,

Our whole forward line, Fritsch included, have provided absolutely no defensive pressure.

But we can't complain about the coach 😶

Agreed.

Although Tommy has had a very good year down back.

It's our fwd line excluding Fritta that just lacks a Darling type player.

Add now our mids look suspect.

JV must be injured.

The premiership window is closing fast if it ain't after tonight.

Our fwd lines not going to change. 

Our mids might

We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

And that's the gameplan in a nut shell.

Based on never picking him when we have one ruckman every single week.

Not a hard one to follow.

Our best forward def pressure was trio of Spargo anb kozzy doing the business

injuries and other reasons have meant we haven’t been able to run this this season

    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.

    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
