It's crazy we gifted both Grundy and Jordon to a premiership contender. Not very strategic.

Strategy had nothing to do with it. Sydney finished eighth last season. How could anyone have known they’d be a premiership contender?

Hashtag hindsight etc.

Good on Norf. I remember those days when a H&A win was rare and felt like winning a GF.

I've been waiting 100 years for Geelong to be bad again. They are just like:

- The [censored] that won't flush

- A cockroach 

- A thorn in the side

- Anything else that has been posted here a million times.

… a disposable nappy. Those things take hundreds of years to break down.

They both wanted to go, one as an unrestricted free agent.

Few other options from the club I would have thought.

It was just madness. I will never understand it, we had some bargaining power, particularly with Gus involved….

The real story will come out one day…

Like when the Pies gave him to us for virtually nothing? it’s cap space and having no negotiation power for a player playing at Casey

Pies got bugger all for Treloar too

both with 5 years left on their contracts.

madness indeed

Carlton v Essendon is  impossible re. a good result.

Either side winning is enough to make you vomit even a draw gets each team 2 points which is just as bad.

Nah I want essendon to lose. They have west coast next week. Any losses they have is good and I don't want them going further ahead on the ladder

If only we had Grundy i'm sure all our problems would be solved.

 

it’s hilarious isn’t it? people just don’t get footy. Grundy would still be playing at Casey this year if he was with us

he missed a snap from 5m out today unchallenged. he is not a forward at all

We needed to get off the hook and we did so, I don't see why we would have had much if any leverage.

I don't want the Cats to win, given it's our best chance at making top 4 for them to lose, however this shows me how ridiculous the AFL fixturing is. Swans have had two byes already and the Cats haven't had any. The Swans look so fresh and the Cats are cooked and just hanging in there.

The AFL are a joke the way they run the fixture.

The AFL put the fix into fixture.

If Grundy had played against Carlton in the semi last year we would have won that game. And we would have gone on to win the flag. We all know this.

Anyway, here's to Billings and Fullarton!

I think if Gus had retired straight away we would’ve offered Jordon more money, so that was unlucky.

the grundy one was the right move as it gave us more cap once we realised it didn’t work. Doesn’t help this year but will help over the next 5

    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.
