The kid is barely in the door. Of course he would get a full off season to see where he sits.  This is just getting used to your team mates ands settling in time.  He is not a unicorn, he is a young tall that cost the club very little. Give him space and see what happens,,,,

Well we’ve flicked a mid season draftee off before after 6 months in Kye Declase so was just asking

Half the Melbourne players have all checked out.

Hunter should just retire in the spot. That was an embarrassing performance from a more senior member.

Laughable comment.

Same selection issues that has them motoring along winning 5 of their last 6 games beating the likes of Sydney, Geelong at Kardinia and Carlton?

 

and losing to the bombers and getting smashed by us and Port

Does Kentfield get a summer to prove himself next year? 

Unless his attitude is the problem he should certainly get the preseason 

first time he would have trained properly

How did Jed Adam’s go? Seemed to be getting a few mentions early?!

Disappeared under an avalanche of WBd’s goals. Moves well and has neat skills just needs to be more involved.

Good to see Jeffo have another decent game

4 goals in a losing team is good output. I didn’t see the game but he seems to know how to kick goals when having an average day.

He seems like he's a high impact guy like Fritsch, doesn't need many touches to put the scores on the board

Not only does it white ant ( rather than support) the senior competition, it also makes winning a flag in this competition seem kinda devoid of value.

This should be the second best competition in the nation.

It seems like it's being run by clowns.....

Oh hang on

The Quambatook Fifths are comparatively graced by a better-organised fixture. Similarly, Nar Nar Goon Fourths have benefitted from games held Saturdays - without abnormal variations - and their occasional visits to their Tribunal authority are as smooth as afternoon tea and scones in a sun-filled meadow with a large herd of grazing cattle strolling by to gain insight into some well-planned, civilized banter.

Who cares.. they were early losses of the season.

They're timing the run beautifully at the right time of the year. One of the most inform teams in the competition alongside Brisbane and Hawthorn. 

Every chance they could finish too 4.

I'd play him yes.

29 goals from 16 games this year. Eventually you need to reward form at some stage.

We will give him his 200th even if he is sub.

I'd have preferred Hunter was gifted his 200th tonight. Then the Bulldogs could chair him off rather than our blokes.

I'd rather he never pull on the red and blue again.

We don't owe him anything.

Kentfield is still only 18 and has come over from the west mid season. While he hasnt pulled up any trees here yet, he surely deserves a pre seson etc to see how he goes next year.  The delivery has been generally deplorable at Casey this year which hasnt helped. Id like to see how he goes with a pre season under his belt and him growing a bit more into his body.

Terrible game by so many. Slow and sloppy doesn't describe the relative failures on every line.

Not sure that playing at Casey when they are in this form does anything for player development.

One standout was the number of broken tackles allowing run on play by the Dogs.

Time to draw a line under this annus horriblis.

    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
