And to think that I told a lot of people that Melbourne were a great value bet for the 1st round!?!?!?!

I am in absolute disbelief....

We are at rock bottom now!

We are not even in the same league as Carlton!!!!!

I have not felt this low since ..... well..... my whole damn life!!

I know I'll get shot down for this but...I believe the alternate jersey should be worn until the team is worthy of wearing the traditional Red and Blue.

For the first time in my life, I am speechless.

Also for the first time in my life I left the ground at 3/4 time. Really couldn't take it anymore. Every Hawthorn goal was like a knife to the heart.

Will be interesting to see what Bailey does next. If I was coach I'd seriously contemplate throwing footballs at the players' head repetitively.

Things that must change:

Need to add leg speed (Why did buckley spend so much time on the bench)

Set up zones with ball ups.

Have midfielders defensive side of packs

Talk to each other when under pressure

Kick long and not chips around defence

Play on... We are so slow

Play either Green or Yze perm down back as a sweeper-spare man

Tell Nathan Jones to make an effort to clear whn lying on top of ball

Play Davey perm forward

Get J Rivers back, even in a wheelchair he's better than what we have down there

Bring back Bate and Sylvia

Introduce a little secret called Run and carry

Learn to tackle the arms not the waist

There is plenty more but thats the first lesson...

We are pathetic... We may not win a game if we carry on like this.....

Fromtodays game only Green, Chook and Jones get a pass...

I cant remember the Dee's being at a lower point, definately sad. Our forward line of Neitz, Robbo, and Newton wont work.

Too predicable we kicked it long and hope they would mark it. Im worried for Newton can take a mark, but looks very slow.

I have been a member of this website for a long time, and have rarely posted, but what I saw at the game today was enough to prompt this message in this forum. I am in no way trying to be one of the many who simply come on here to bag the players and their efforts, but today's effort was simply insipid. I sat through the entire match, cheering when they finally got their second goal in the 3rd Quarter, and at that point it dawned on me. I have barracked for the MFC all my life and have been a member and am still a member to this day, but the way in which that group of players refused to play for each other and the jumper was a disgrace to players who have come before them and given their heart and soul for that jumper. I am gutted by the complete lack of desperation from the senior players and in particular the leadership group (with Russell Robertsoon looking completely disintersted at times). As was mentioned on here in previous weeks., it again started from the warm up all the way through to the finaly siren. I have never seen such a pathetic excuse for a "team" effort toady, and I hope Bailey let's them know exactly the impact their performance has not only on the supporters, but the general perception of the rest of the AFL world. We are viewed as a rabble who is lucky to still be in existence. My heart beast red and blue, and I won't give up on them yet, I will sit through another cold winter (not at the snow), let's hope next weeks is better and they learn from their mistakes.

I was reading lucifer's post, and it wasn't until he started talking about Russell Robertson that I realised his message was almost five years old. If that doesn't tell you something about this club's predicament, I'll go hee.

    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
