And Kolt missed a very easy shot

Lever out marked by Narkle

endless fwd entries not to advantage but let’s focus on a whipping boy ffs

he’s not the reason we list

we lost because we lacked composure with ball in hand including Mcvee who is generally good 

Up until that point it was probably one of Billings' better games for us.

Can't fault the effort, proud of the boys. Just lacked polish..

The Billings haters need to open their eyes. He had 23 disposals with 7 marks and 3 tackles. Our 4th highest on the AFL fantasy points… He clearly isn’t the reason we lost!

Good effort. But Christ almighty we are a really poorly skilled team. And some of the decision making is mind boggling.  I really am counting down the days until this season is done. It’s been pa

From the "if my Aunt had wheels she'd be a wagon" file - but just saw the pic of May in the sponsored players frame on this page - with him out there we win.  We win a game against a side with everything to play for - we win a game that pundits and folk on this page had us losing by between 7 goals and 70 points.

At the end of the day we get experience into some young players, a better look at the list, and  something to avenge next time we play this lot (who know they just got over the line at the ground they need to own if they're going to do anything in September*).

*they're not.

We truly are the turn-over kings. 

Also, Fritsch actually should have been selfish with that goal opportunity. Tholstrup was never kicking that.

The irony... It wasn't long ago he got chipped for not making that pass.

Far too close in the run-up to the man on the mark, kicking way to high and thus, not straight through the ball ... how many times have we seen this in our 'set shots'? It totally minimises our alleged goal-kicking practices.

A few mistakes in the final three minutes was the difference.

Not mistakes… it was a complete lack of effort in the last minute or so, that allowed Port to kick it amongst themselves, when we should have been pressuring them!  I suggest people take a look at the last minute of the Suns v Essendon match.

Thought even Salem was turning the ball over a lot tonight , blind handballs and kicks round corners with out looking.

Max and Kozzy were huge, but I thought we played dumb footy in that last quarter.

We only needed 1 goal , but kept kicking to packs and missing handball targets.

Having said that , we are severely undermanned and have lost to top 8 sides like Brisbane, Carlton and Port by less than a kick.

Win those and we are top 4 , what a crazy year.

Kolt actually could have just hand ball it to Picket? Or was it Turner? That was easier than his set shot.

Could have kicked around the corner too, end of the day he’s a kid my whole point is people focussing on individual things when there were so many turnovers that killed our momentum.

overall happy with effort and the fact the season is done but we still have a crack. Very different club from the Schwab days

Goodness me Clayton was super super poor tonight. Just a lost & unfit player right now… & who would ever had thought it would’ve come to this after season 21’

He was just about the best player in the game 2 years back

Yeah that’s still a sore point. 

BUT

Bombers. Being beaten after the siren and almost certainly no finals. Small price to pay I guess for a winning moment 🤣

Spare a thought for those of us living in Europe. Can't even book a local ski-trip. 

No, you just have mountains in all directions only a short plane ride away 😝

Agree on Salem, but he was not alone in the kick around the corner in a panic without looking. Had 10-12 mates. Also our handballs hit the target less than 40%of the time. It was U/10 type footy at times

Billings should never get another game! Just awful!

It was actually his best ever game. He missed one goal. Big deal. I bet you were at home on the couch and not at the game.

How did the Dees go tonight . . . anyone watch the game? I ended up watching a fairly ordinary game of rugby union instead. High scoring game actually - shed-load of forward passes missed by the ref though.

As the large majority have already stated, we need a clean out and some fresh faces in the coaches box and on the field. 

The fact we couldn’t hit the side of a barn and brick ourselves under pressure is a huge concern. 

Time to make some hard calls on some favourite sons including TMac and Oliver as well as move on Stafford and Choco plus others.

We need an on-field identity change rather than relying on contested ball, as currently we are becoming a Ross Lyon style of dour football which is fecking horrible to watch.

We had a good crack all game, confidence is low and therefore plays that require dare aren’t coming off but I leave the G not that unhappy…plenty to work with in 2025

It has tonight been decided that a review will be undertaken post season to ensure we have the staff most capable of maximising the talent within the club. It is believed there is a lot of player support behind the current regime but there are others associated with the club who believe changes are neccesary.

People demanding that we "play the kids" can't now turn on them when they stuff up or are outclassed.

And when you have some patience, you get guys like Mac Andrew!

Kolt will be OK 😀

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
