I honestly cannot understand how that Norf mark wasn't paid 50m in the last 2 mins. Two guys three steps over the mark. Clear as day. The sort of vision the umpires boss would use to explain giving a

You absolutely have to give credit to Richmond supporters today. 92,000 is a huge effort, especially given how uncompetitive they've been all season.

The Swans are a talented team, but they are just having one of those seasons where it all really clicks - like us in ‘21, Cats in ‘22, and Pies last year. They have the confidence of a team who a

Interesting times. I hope the focus shifts off the dees since we cant stink it up this week.

Who knows the way this season is going. Really the Swans and hawks are in form atm, everyone else is a bit of a guess.  Cant trust too many to play their best footy this time of year, and expect some upsets.

The combination that suits Melbourne.

St Kilda to beat Brisbane

Dogs to beat Freo (you could also argue Freo winning is better as it keeps us a game clear of Dogs)

Richmond to beat Hawthorn

Sydney to beat Adelaide

North to beat Collingwood 

Port to beat GWS

Combo paying $704-1

Last week's combo that suited Melbourne of $349-1 amazingly saluted (Rich, Bris, Hawks, North, StK, Syd, Carlt)

Gotta confess… I’ve never heard of him. 57 games in 13 years is clearly why. 🤣

By the lack of people on this site tonight I think Dees supporters maybe avoiding footy all weekend. Can’t blame them. Brayshaw why do umpires report leave it to MRO. The fact that the camera might miss an incident obviously escape his grasp

Geez there are a lot of dull games this weekend.  

Are Saints a chance?  not sure it's even worth tuning in for

'Managed' one of if not their best player from last week in Milera.

Membrey not great against the Suns but still part of a winning team.  You would expect he gets at least one more week to see if he could bring something after kicking 5 against Casey two weeks before.

Tanking?

I thought he must have been a mature age recruit picked up in the mid season draft.

I was gonna tune in but I’ve got some drying paint that needs watching. 😝

Nah I’ve watched the first quarter coz I love watching Mitchito Owens in action. But despite him kicking the Saints’ only goals, all two of them, seeing them cop a thumping from Brisbane is very unpalatable.

The Lions are a real chance this year still. I put money on them to win the flag two weeks ago at crazy odds

Brian Taylor now openly sledging players for not doing what he thinks they should do.

He is a joke.

he is such a [censored]. i still remember from our GF win telling Kozzi where to run. 

and Gus kicking that important goal BT just talked about how he didn’t turn around and check for options

so annoying

The Lions were gifted that goal. There was nothing in that. 😡

A free kick against for not looking at the ball????

    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

    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
