Why would you drop him?

Why is he always the first one in the gun?

Has done very well with his limited ground time and possession count.

No youngster deserves to get dropped while our injury list is so long. We have nothing to gain by dropping them.

Haha I said it with tongue in cheek as he does cop a fair bit.

From what I heard on the radio he seemed to be up the ground and out of defence a fair bit.

I hope nobody actually thinks that last qtr counts for anything. I don't want see some of our players all of a sudden looking like superstars in junk time. We want to see performance when the game is still there to be won.

Very, very disappointing performance. I actually thought we had a chance tonight.

Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

Absolutely, he ran hard, marked well, tackled strongly and his disposal was pretty good under pressure.

He is definitely proving alot of people wrong with his performances since coming back.

Brisbane beat West Coast at Subiaco last week. What made you think we possibly had a chance, when better Melbourne sides couldn't get a sniff in Brisbane in years? :wacko:

You can't expect to win games with the side we're fielding at the moment. We're one kid short of a happy meal FFS.

The fact that we made a contest of it and didn't lie down and get done by 100 points, is something to hang our hat on.

West Coast are flying aren't they?

I just want to see a committed team effort. I want to see us win some clerances and put our head over the ball, and dare i say it....play some good team footy. Wasn't much of that going on tonight.

Team footy requires you to have a team. Given that we're currently a side thrown and sticky-taped together, I don't know that you can expect much more. We are basically playing the last 22 fit men we have, and most of them are no good or very very raw.

Those who are no good will be gone shortly, those who are raw, will learn from the experience and be better for it next year.

Gee that pisses me off when players loose there cool eg sylvia just then a davey having a swing

i apoligise to the kid, that was the worst free ever!

lucky you backed that up. him and the other mfc player were getting jabs and elbows, sylvia pushes him away and it gets paid against him??? the free kick count was listed as 16-22. i think it was more like 10-22...

What was with their complete refusal to call 'play on advantage'?

Stuffed us up at least 3 times, when we had the ball nearly inside 50!

i thought CJ did pretty well today...17 disposal, 8 marks, not heaps of game time...his disposal was among our best.

bate got a bit of it but i was dissapointed, he didnt do much that was damaging. and he struggles for pace those first 2-3 metres. brock and bate both need to work hard over summer on their first 3-4 steps. in fact it wouldnt hurt anyone in our team to work on early acceleration. we dont need to be fast, just need a bit of power to break the tag occasionally.

patfull played a fantastic spoiling game for brisbane, and apart from jon brown possibly was their most influencial imo. robbo was our main target, if he was allowed a bit more space he could have had 6-7 today and patfull kept him to 1.3.

I'm not expecting huge things with a bunch of kids, but I'm not going to accept getting pasted like that, and I don't think Riley will either.

Kudos to CJ, good to see him play well and hopefully he plays out the year.

On Bate, deanox you're spot on about his acceleration, he is quite quick when he gets speed up but his acceleration is poor, as is McLean's.

    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
