Right???? I knew we’d put a few cracks in ‘em but we might have snapped ‘em clean in half!!! At the end of the season I want us to be able to proudly say we started their 15-game losing streak 🥳🥳🥳

Haha I gotta say I ain’t mad about it.

i have stuff happening in my life, promise, but this does give me some joy lol

Obviously dissent frees aren't paid these days. Or not against Jee-long in any event. Their players continually wave their arms around when perceived injustices are inflicted on them by the umpires.

They've done it for years - worst offenders are Hawkins and Cameron - and I have never ever seen them pinged for it.

 Sorry, I forgot to mention Dangerfield....

Geelong and Carlton seem never to get a 50 paid against for dissent, and it is often quite demonstrative and abusive.

Harley reid argued every umpiring decision. Nil dissent. I miss the days where any raising of the arms was 50...

If Geelong wins, I'll shout the bar if Chris Scott mentions that Richmond's set-shot kicking contributed.

Uh-oh...

Break it to me gently, those who can bear to watch...

Pretty happy with that result, short of Richmond winning.

I thought Geelong would go ahead us on percentage with a 12 goal + win, but Richmond put up a good fight.

And let’s face it, are Geelong seriously going 2-0 against Sydney and Carlton both away.

Third place is ours if we’re good enough tomorrow.

If we’re as good as we’re meant to be, I actually expect us to go second after KBD because I think Essendon will lose today and next week.

Now to round the day out with an Essendon win 👍🏽  Good times.

Mac Andrew is a star. Barring injury, he'll be the best tall back in the AFL within 12 months

Cannot believe some on here thought he was not worth it in his draft year 🤷‍♂️

GC up by 5 with 2 minutes remaining. If the footy gods have any compassion whatsoever we’ll be hearing that song that no one knows the words to. 😁

    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
