I'm a good bet to be there to report! But I'll let Landers know!

Sliterers won't be very active, but be careful as they won't be able to get out of your way if you do happen across one 🐍

I cannot believe it but the Weid was suspended for 3(?) games for a high hit on someone. 
Who said he had no appetite for a contest?

Must've been an accident. Did he apologise straight away?

At least any named emergencies that don't get a late call up will be able to play for a change.

Imagine wanting to desperately play AFL but also you just love playing and being with your mates at VFL.  Then being named as an emergency for weeks on end and not being able to play at either level.

And to top it off Selwyn makes you run 12kms up and down the ground after the game to keep your fitness up.

Is Weid playing VFL these days

Weid is a four letter word the mods should add to the banned list.

2015 draft Weid pick 9, McKay pick 10, Curnow pick 12

BTW Schach attack pick 2.

I think Weid has copped enough. Let it go.

He didn’t turn out the way we wanted but he did give us a couple of good finals appearances in 2018 and was part of something Melbourne supporters hadn’t seen in 12 years.

It was absolutely an accident, he clumsily clipped somebody high when they were sliding into get a ground ball

Does anyone know what happened to Roy George who played one terrific game and disappeared out of sight?

He’s been killing it for Tyntynder seniors. I’m sure we’re keeping track, probably hasn’t played at Casey cause we’re hiding him from Dodoro

Multiple goals in many matches, lots of possessions out of the middle. Would he want to give up being a big fish in a small pond?

By George, Bulldogs are too good

this kid could be anything, I think application sadly is the only thing that has/is holding him back.

Fun fact about the Casey Demons and the fractured VFL fixture:

Last week, Casey played Brisbane up north and there was something about the game that bothered me and I couldn't work out exactly what it was. Then I realised that Casey had already played against Brisbane earlier in the season (it was Round 8). What's strange about this is that there are more teams than rounds so why would you play one team twice? Then I discovered that Casey also plays Footscray a second time in Round 19 and that they don't play Geelong, Southport, Sydney Swans and Werribee at all this season.

This isn't a competition - it's Mickey Mouse club stuff!

Has not been a decent comp since covid.

It's a glorified training run.

For the non aligned clubs it makes a little more sense but I've lost interest.

    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
