I was there and spoke to him. Hand is still swollen but he was in good spirits. I won’t repeat what he said about a certain journalist as it won’t get past the censors. He’s not going anywhere. G

Our boys are polling well. I reckon we might pick up a medal tonight.

Max-Legend

Trac-was desperate to get to Carlton

Clarry-was desperate to get to Geelong

Kozzie-was desperate to get to West Coast

 

Who's desperate enough to win the clearance? Maxxxxxxxyy

Brad Green shut down the Clarry trade,how about shutting down Gary Pert shopping Clarry around 2 years in a row!!!

Time to go Pert!

Not having given the top ten much thought (there were a few other distractions this week) - but seeing TMac at 10 has lifted the spirits - a player who's best has been pretty spectacular (Perth 2017), but who has also been in there for a lot of years playing his role and contributing both ends of the ground. A great example of looking beyond the stats for a contribution (thinking those up the ground moments in 2021).  Thought he/we rolled the dice for once last chance in '22 but really looking forward to what he can do in '25.

If anyone from Demonland was there tonight, did they see Clayton Oliver?

 

Tell him we all love him and want him to stay a Demon! ❤️💙👹

I was there. A friend spoke to Clarry and asked him if he was enjoying his break. He replied that he was, up until the time he found out he was being shopped.

Great night and I feel much more positive about next season.

We were $51 right after the GF for the 2025 flag, but it seems as though punters are starting to realize that all the things that could go wrong did go wrong. We are not as bad as our results this season and now are rated a $26 chance. 

That top 10 is a nice blend of gen Z and absolute top line established players, so if Petracca can come back and become even half the player he is/was then it would be great. Oliver, Salem, Lever, Sparrow and even May in spite of a 10 finish were clearly down on output when you consider their lofty standing in the club. 

With stability, rookie players like Brown, Tholstrup and Jefferson can really surprise similar to the players Brisbane blooded.

We have the list, so it is now up to the coaches to instill the confidence back in the side.

I’m confident Goodwin has genuinely learnt a lot and is already hard at work doing all he can to get us back to where this club needs to be.

Three positives in an ordinary week;

1. Tom Campbell’s arrival.

2. AFLW team played like Demons.

3. Angus Brayshaw’s farewell in particular the optimism he expressed about the future of the club.

Roll away the fair weather sailors, muckrakers and doomsayers.

If you view Tom Campbell coming to club is a positive youre really struggling to name 3 things. Get excited about a VFL ruckman Dees fans!

Chandler top 10, proving once again that Demonlanders don’t know what roles players are asked to play. Half of this site is constantly calling for him to be dropped. I crown thee “the next ANB”. 

Top 10 for the team that finished 14th is no great flex. How did it work out for Terlich when he finished top 3? Did  he become a future captain?

Some on here think everything he says is gospel

He's not Ron Barassi but he's a good small forward who improves each season. Kicks goals too.

Do you have a point or did you just need to slag him?

Brad Green sounded good & fired up & feels like he will be able to connect with the footy dept & players and supportive of the review .. let’s hope he follows through with the recommendations and his a president we hear fighting for the club in particular our draw which no doubt the afl will shaft us

My point was finishing 8th on a team that finished 14th is hardly proof of any greatness or something to shut any haters up, and I actually dont even hate Chandler, i think hes a good user who would look much better on a team who moved the ball faster. Being a forward for Melbourne is one of the worst jobs in football. 

If you and others want together excited by BNF finishes for a 14th placed team though youre welcome to do so.

Not sure you are serious either.

D/land is degenerating fast in the news etc always criticising Other websites.

To get basic info you need to read afl and Melb websites.

    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

    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
