You can't be saying this if you were actually at the game.

Best feeling ever.

These are the games you remember for a long time and why you stick with a club through little thick and much thin

It was only Fremantle ;)

Fifty points down at the half way mark after six successive heavy losses; come on, don't be so mean spirited - we just got King Kong off our back. Even if Fremantle's scapl dangling from our belt doesn't excite you much, we did turn things around in the second half and play some direct, exhilarating footy. Enjoy the win.

You people do know I was only taking the [censored] out? I was at the game. Just for a bit of a chuckle. condemned seems to have been the only one who didn't take it personally.

Chill out guys ^_^

It's funny though, against any other club other than the Shockers, Melbourne wouldn't have won the game after that deplorable first half. That includes West Coast, Essendon or anyone at the moment. Fremantle is the only team that can produce a result like that.

Having said that, considering the circumstances, it was one of the all time great wins.

If it was only Collingwood!!!

That would be better than sex!

Oh you aint doin it right....

Still, the old gal seemed full to the brim even though there was only 20k there. Imagine the noise if we could have had 50k?

Great Comeback YES

Great Win NO although it sure was good timing before the break

Some people on this forum simply look at one half of football

Great WINS come from playing 4 quarters of football not one half and that actually winning playing that way is VERY RARE

I dont consider playing a poor half of football irrespective of the result GREAT

Was it positive ? ABSOLUTLEY and will build confidence in future games but we will acheive greater forward progression playing 4 quarters competivley even if we LOSE the game

for all those MFC followers not supporters who could have been there and wernt,,,,, TUFF..... it was the greatest fealing after the game.

some positives came out of it, garland showing positive signs, straight at the ball, a bit of run off the back line. aussie no more needs to be said. but i will, great and dont you love the little frog dance after the goals. millar guess what hes a forward who would have guessed?

after the game i heard this crazy old woman going [censored] yelling,screaming and singing the GOF for the umteenth time, suprise it was my wife and i was carrying on like a bit of a loose arab myself.

friends you had to be there, you could feel the pride and pure joy deep down and you just had to let it out.

Cartainly was a fantastic win! I was wondering why i hadn't gone to the pub instead of going to the football at half time, but was very pleased after the siren. It really was an amazing game. There were older women ringing up the radio statiopns afterwards saying that they had been crying, i haven't heard of this since Buckanara broke every melbourne supporters hearts in '87.

    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

    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.
