World Cup qualifier ... in Brisbane ... Socceroos 0 - Bahrain 1.

Appalling/clueless performance by Socceroos.

Good. Until we fail to make the world cup the powers that be won't do the full review and implement the changes needed at grass roots. 1500 odd bucks for 12yos to play? Looooolllll

The revisionism about James Jordon in here is hilarious.

As devastating as it was to lose finals in the last two years coming in as top four, at least we put up a fight. This is just deplorable from Port Adelaide.

Port Adelaide are the most flakiest and pathetic football club known to man, woman, dog, bird, and the third kind.

How anyone can trust this club to deliver the goods in the big moment or even deliver their grocery shopping to their address is completely beyond me.

Disgraceful effort from a club with a cream puff centre.

But port have been abysmal

Cats 

1- smart recruiting from other teams 

Dangerfield 

Cameron 

Tuohy

Stanley

Stengle

Bruhn

2- role players brought in 

Mannagh

Humphries

3- speed and skill through the contest and through the corridor 

4- second and third efforts 

5- Dangerfield is still a star 

6- defenders play defence … forwards play forward… mids are mids. 
7- come home factor- Bruhn, Henry, 

8- development. Zac Guthrie.  Dempsey.  Stewart. Atkins 

9- the Geelong throw = handball 

10- small forwards. Stengle. Miers. Close.  Score goals !!!

Cats seem to find players attract free agents eg Cameron vs Our club who trade in players who are all playing at Casey & struggling to hang onto our best player Trac go figure, yeah all good at our club!

Except last year when they didn’t play finals?

There's no national indoor (with proper stadiums) futsal comp to teach the juniors and young teens superb first touch ball comtrol and skills a la Sth America and Europe.

We have not invested in the youngsters here which should be acting as feeder pathways into the open field under 18 comps.

Our whole 'football' system here is a jokefest.  Our first touch (inability to control / dribble) and lack of quality strikers has been a blight on the game for decades.

But let's not build proper futsal stadiums and a serious futbol junior comp, better to spend millions on attempting to host a world cup that we may not even qualify for!

If JHF was playing for any other team tonight he’d be tearing him to shreds. Definitely holds back on him specifically. 

Hope he enjoys all that finals success does JHF and his porn mustache.

That’s why we hate the Cats.  Achieved too much !!! Chris Scott. Arrogant piece of 💩. But probably feels like that given their record!!!

    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
