How the actual [censored] are we always a man down in defence

Because we are playing extra in the stoppages which we never do normally.

I can understand them being better, specially if we don't have Max.

But see how we thought Brisbane would smash us and kick 20 on us? Then with dare and effort we almost won it.

At least make it a slogfest, low scoring proposition and see what happens. Don't let them kick 7 in a row.

Anyway, hopefully we can keep the score as close as possible in the last.

Brisbane are a one paced contested and outside kicking game side.

You can muck it up against them. Plus they were all over us for the part quarter and a half. 

Without Gawn we couldn’t really control stoppages or down the line game.

We’ve muck it up at times then they’ve just gone bang on the counter with speed.

not the reason we're losing, but this umpiring is shocking

We knew that would be the case from the start. Had to beat two teams today

We are 100 miles of deserving to play finals.

This trade and draft period will be incredibly important to our success next year and in 2026.

As the new Tassie team and the northern state academy gifts swallow up the top picks for a number of years, we face an aging list without a ruck, key back and multiple elite midfielders, and that's not to mention no key forwards.

Nail this trade and draft period and we can compete again for finals. If not, we risk sliding back down to familiar cellar dwelling territory. 

One thing is clear, we cannot win another flag with this list

With you all the way on this. In many ways it's been the season from hell. First Clarry, then Brayshaw and Smith, Petracca and now Gawn. What are the odds? Forget finals for me. Be competitive for the remainder of the season and finish as low as possible with respectability.  Not in the camp of play and win a final. Adds 3 weeks to your season. Hope Battle and Baker stay and get a decent pick in the top 10. Be aggressive in the trade as we have cap space and half a dozen delistings. Aforementioned players have good pre seasons, younger players continue to develop and it all looks very different.* Only caveat is numerous other times coming at the rate of knots 😏

    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.
