It is funny, what will be even funnier is when he comes out and plays a blinder against his old team like most of them do, helloe to the Wiz, Scotty Thompson and Darren Jolly.

Leigh Matthews usually comes out and pumps up an opposition player before a game. This week he has changed tac (maybe because we haven't got anybody worthy of pumping up) and put the acid on one of his own.

Brisbane cannot seriously be unhappy with Trapper. He is playing the exact role he was recruited for. If they wanted another Simon Black they would have looked elsewhere.

I think Leigh is playing mind games.

Nothing i didnt know about Travis when he played for us really

He has had good vision and ball delivery skills all his career which leaves us with his lack of ability to win contested ball

Anyway thats Leighs problem now

Lethal's bluffing. Trav's won two games for them this season. And it's was highlighted again on Saturday night on 'The Fifth Quarter' that a mark he took, Robert Walls said "He wouldnt have taken that mark at MFC".

That's how soft we are!!!

Now, early warning people - dont blame Nathan Carroll when Bradshaw kicks 10, cause it's gonna come SCREAMING outta the middle!!!!!

Incisive.

I would have thought Robert Walls comment is more a damning assessment of TJ's playing attitude at MFC over 10 years than a go at the MFC team.

Thanks for the early warning on Carroll. I would not blame Carroll as I know he is not good enough for a player with the smarts of Bradshaw and your estimate of 10 is spot on.

Its no wonder that when Carroll's name was put on the trade table last year by the Club, it was met with laughter and derision by the other Clubs. Hmmmm. <_<

I actually made Jonathan Brown my Supercoach captain this week just cos he was up against the Dees

*edit*

and weighing into the Johnstone debate - haven't been all that impressed with him so far this year so I tend to agree with Matthews. He's been a contributer without having a big influence on a game yet

Haha. Good post.

Exactly what will happen to be honest. I was sad to see Travis go though, and I think we are missing him quite alot.

Just lethal playing mind games. This REV up will no doubt cause travis to rack up 30 touches against us.

The real moral of this story, if you have a dream team, this week is a good week to use Trapper!

    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
