alistair lynch is so the guy from blokesworld.

a bit astonished. it's just like it's not even the same team. this time last year, if neitz had half the half chances he's had today he'd have at least 4. when you're s-14 you're 3-14 and the rub of the green just doesn't go your way.

i just hope neita pulls something, would hate to watch us lose to the pies by 100 points in neita's 300th

New plan; instead of throwing my shoe at the TV, I will go to the game next week and throw my shoes at the Melbourne players to wake them up to the fact that their opponent is half-way down the ground.

What the hell is going on at this club? How can so many Sydney players be on their own, consistently, for 3 quarters.

Forget our kicking, marking, clearances etc etc... just man-up for the love of god. It's probably the easiest and first instruction you get when taking up the game at 3 years of age.

At least we're still going in hard at the contest, and Miller just snapped a goal around his body! :o

I have to laugh at the media frenzy surrounding Carlton and their apparent "Tanking"

I am pretty sure the reason Riley isn't getting questioned is because the media can actually see how [censored] we are!!!

Barracking for Melbourne has never (in my life) been so embarrassing! :(

Juice is going to be a great FF at least! But unless we get some midfielders who can deliver to him, then he will want to be traded in a few years!

Just a question..... How many times does Brad Green kick around his body without looking?!!!??

Good last quarter by juice, good second half from chook on kirk i think it was about 12- 4 chooks way after kirk killed us early, miller was not bad in the last playing forward, holland got his 3rd and deserved it too,

nietz was out of sorts, he could not hold a mark today and why he passed from 50 min the third has me stuffed.

Jamar your career with melbourne is done.

just got back from he game, live not far from ground...

well that was a terrible effort, No midfied, No man marking, No forwar pressure and absolutely no run anywhere on the ground.

i dont know how u go from being the best tackling team last year to the worst this year, but we ve done it...

some of the tackles were like girl slaps they just fell off so easily.

our skills are terrible, blokes like ward brown and buckley may need to be shown the drop punt cause a floater pass or a grubber makes it f@#kin hard to mark.

I ve defended miller upto now but i concede, he is nowhere need the standard required.

we are years off being anywhere near te top again.. id say 3-5years

major clear out, new coach and along road back....

Right now 'FOOTY SUX'

Was that the master plan for our guys to lose weight so we can run all day and do the 'run and carry' style?

The funniest thing about this was that half the supporters could see what was happening from the very start of the season...

    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
