$2? where?

that’s ridiculous

Brunswick, it's a nice cafe but woweee!

I reckon they were offended by me asking for the sauce. I ordered a Parma with chips, came with not a drop of sauce.

My mate ordered a steak sandwich with chips, he got the sauce. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

Hogan's been super  so far.

Note the Giants rarely if ever take the mark.  98% outside five to help protect / reduce Sydney's penchant to always attempt the 45 kicks into the corridor. 

As well as trying to protect againat the dinky short passes forward.

GWS happy to give Sydney lateral short kicks or switch attemps...but ALWAYS protect the middle.  Go wide if you like.. we're happy with that!

We need a Darcy Jones type up forward.

Imagine the forward half chaos and speed him and Kozzie Pickett would create.

Toby Bedford! 😒

A lot of complaints about letting Harmes and Jordon go, but both have done absolutely nothing in the finals they've played.

Don't care about a tagging role for Jordon, 5 touches and 1 tackle is [censored].

Jordon is currently tagging Whitfield and is doing an okay job.

Harness had one touch for the whole 2nd half last night. He looks completely cooked and it showed.

Let's talk footy with this one..

Briggs has had the better of him and his physicality has been a bit too much for Grundy.

Grundy needs to lift this second half because he's been pretty poor so far.

Grundy has always had questionable hardness. It’s why he’s never been as good as Gawn. Ever. 
He’s a nice player but he isn’t strong enough and he doesn’t make up for it with his overhead marking. 
Gawn is about the only ruckman in the AFL who is genuinely influential around the ground, Xerri is quite good too (I’m talking first ruck not your pinch hit ruckmen). Jackson has it in him, but hasn’t quite hit the mark yet. 

Grundy is a lovely guy and a good player, but anyone who said he would help the Swans win a flag is kidding themselves. The Swans midfield is sensational. If they win the flag it’ll be them who make it happen, not Grundy.

papley tried to win another head high free. ump didn't fall for it this time.

very good player but dislikable becuase of this sort of stuff

He's not alone.  Heeney's also a serial offender.

True. And i'm a big fan of Toby Greene

but papley rubs it in. the way he celebrated and carried on after conned the ump for the first free and goal was very distasteful for me.

    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
