No, he just likes whinging, criticising and posting the same comment week after week.

Because Carlton, worst supporters in the league , just angry entitled nuffies. As a 10 year old at the prelim in 88 at VFL Park I somehow ended up in a Carlton section. After a Melbourne goal I waved

So that night we beat Geelong & I thought our season will get going because of how good a team Geelong are, maybe I was wrong & it's disgraceful we only won by 8 points.

 

So when we beat the top team at 7-0 in their best form you think it was disgraceful we only won by 8 points?

when the Blues and the Lions etc lost to them earlier this season, was that worse than disgraceful?

What TF was that Catman [censored] doing in the stands just now?

Idk who tf he is but unless Catman has gained weight, aged considerably and phoned in his makeup, that was someone else.

Chris Scott giving about 13 years worth of credit to the opposition in his post game presser.

Never heard him so complimentary.

Carlton were amazing tonight, I do not want to play them in the finals.

with this lot - weitering, cripps, walsh, curnow, mckay - now is their time to strike

they remind me so much at our best over the last three years, but with two incredible forward targets

TdK, Kennedy, Acres … 
And we lost a couple of our best players within two years of our flag. Their window is wide open. Our’s has shut.

I think it’s more like 4. And two of them are against the Dogs and Hawthorn who aren’t exactly mug sides.

Yep, they've hardly been menacing at home this year.

If they really need Danger and Hawkins to do anything then they're no better than the person who hangs out for pension day.

Ashcroft no doubt be pretty rusty I would expect. We'll beat them anyway.

Surely no sane selection committee would select a player straight into the firsts after a long layoff 🙄😮

Just tuned in to AFL News and saw the clip where the Carlton De Koenig gives away two free kicks against his brother, neither paid, and De Koenig of Carlton is designated as 'The winner'. I am so fast losing faith in this game called AFL...

Is that the same de Koenig who kneed Max in the head from behind in a ruck contest - “play on”?

Play on. Siren goes. Still a goal.

LOL

Only emphasizes the lack of knowledge of the rules by the part time umpires.

However, the reverse of say 5.11 was a not uncommon scoring dynamic for the Blues in the last few seasons. Accuracy has definitely improved this season! The Blues have worked very hard on their forward set-up, collectively and individually. Simon Goodwin, take notes!

Perhaps they have a forward coach who understands forward play and structure. Who do they have in that role?

Geez Norf supporters would be vomiting at that 50 to Carlton 

And of course there will be atonement for that error made up in spades tonight 😡

We now have the media's next clickbait story to replace the Dees as next weeks topic.

The demise of Geelong is now official and is this a result of poor culture?

Unless there's another umpiring howler of course, like Camerons goal last night at half time

I was about to start a post about why the media only focuses on Melbourne: surely the problems at Catland deserve more attention.

The Cats will get respectful coverage

if we only won 1 game from 7 it would be wild speculation/ crisis at MFC/ who will be sacked coverage

But I think having a few seasons of the same group together to build cohesion and Harry McKay sorting out his set shot kicking have been important factors.

Jack Martin, Jessie Motlop and Matt Cottrell are still yet to come back to this foward line as well mind you. There may be a fight for spots coming up, good problem to have.

Too many mates in the media to ever be scrutinised seriously.

    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.
