This time there won’t be a 40-minute singalong to Sweet Caroline & Take Me Home, Country Roads.

Hashtag get some more songs, Gabba!

 

Was Salo at the Capitano run today?

Have almost given up worrying about the result. Mostly interested in how the young ones go.

I feel the same way, given the coaching, demands/injuries/limited reliance and selection(s) this year! Giving the 'younger ones' the opportunity in the AFL team is paramount for improvements in '25. Fresh rounds in the magazine, so to speak. If they can hit the target, they will still kill.

Midfielders, bombing = little game play for Chandler other than what he picks up on the side with extraordinary efforts. Lowering eyes from the midfield, Chandler gets space, gets goals.

Our forward entries could best be described as atrocious.

So bad, it totally negates Fritta, JVR, Chandler, resting rucks, flankers, utilities ... and the midfielders, themselves.

With respect, I sincerely hope we mess up your tips this week ❤️💙

I had a dream on Tuesday night we were winning in the 3rd quarter by 5 goals, then it becomes all blurry after that.

He trains fully. Has been for a while now. I’ll be shocked and disappointed if they make him come back through Casey. 

He has been training and now full training for some time but he has had a minor set back a little while ago but not his knee. Coming back through the reserves were his words. Personally I would hope one week at Casey only because of the length of time he has been out.

But would I be surprised if he came straight back in?

Definitely. It’s been several weeks now with no sign of improvement 

I was thinking maybe just a 🤔 for this, W, but, what the heck...

This muted, arms length response contrasts with your previous inner-sanctum reporting from the Fritsch camp.

Should we be worried?

Bears have already had a brain fade, Shadeau omitted.

Strange selection with Lever, May, Tomlinson, JVR, Turner, TMac and Petty in the side

maybe Turner will be the sub?

Kynan dropped after 5 minutes of play, what a pointless selection then last week. Good coach we have 🤮[censored] joke.

He will then have Woey as a sub again and give him no opportunity. 
You would look elsewhere if you had half a chance.

Not sure about May, Lever, TMac and Tomlinson all in the side. 

Are we planning on TMac or Tomlinson playing forward? Or May or Lever playing small? 

Not a fan of Brown being dropped after 10 minutes of game time and I’d prefer we don’t make AMW sub, so presumably Woey cops it again.

Yeah I’d be pretty cheesed off if I was K.Brown right now. Like what more could he have done last week? Winning the game for us wasn’t enough? I hope the communication to him has been clear.

Not at all Tim. I’m still very close friends with Pauline Fritsch. We speak every other day and see each other often. Bayley just happens to be her son. I have a son the same age as Bayley, and Pauline and I don’t talk much about either of them.

I can’t deny he’s currently in a form-slump. I mean, I’m delusional. But I’m not that delusional 😅

I'm just getting frustrated with this incessant desire to not reward anyone who shows some ticker. 

He'll be back I'm sure, just for god's sake don't make AMW sub or this place will be torn apart.

I hate them dropping Brown even more than I hated them playing him as the sub last week. Way to just [censored] all over the kids head.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
