Of course we can bloody win it weren't you guys watching yesterday

If the machine can stay in that gear and the boys can keep their confidence up they can give anyone a shake

You don't kick 9 goals to 2 in a quarter if you're rubbish

not being pessimistic but rarely do you lose consecutively by 100 points, or lose 6 in a row if your any good...

Guys i got a strange feeling that we might upset the crows at AAMI stadium.

Does anyone besides me feel this feeling?

I do.

Just a little, but I do.

Hmm.... reasons for feeling positive.

PJ listed to play for Sandy this week.

Ditto Whelan.

Cale Morton to get a week to rest his bones.

Bailey will understand AAMI and have a better than average familiarity with the Crows, too.

And who knows what a two-week break to think about the fact that we really can win games will do to our playing group. They might just be ready to go hard.

And unrelated but still positive - people are signing up as members. The club said "sign up, you're needed" and people are bloody well signing up.

Demons fans are legends. We sign up even when it's hell.

Edit: Here's something else that is interesting. Adelaide wins this season have been -

West Coast. (before anyone realised just how much they suck)

Port Adelaide. (at the time, they sucked)

Fremantle. (ahem)

Carlton. (whatever)

North Melbourne. (who really seemed inept last week)

I'm getting the feeling a little more, now.

Earlier on the week, Dean bailey says If the other teams aren’t training and we are, then that’s our chance to sneak up on them.

If we start off well we will get beaten by 10 goals and I would take that anything under that margin will be a miracle and they usually don't happen 2 games in a row. If we don't start off well it will be another 100 point hiding.

bailey also said he was studing their defence and thought he could break it down.. to be honest the crows were never a powerhouse at kicking goals just a damn mean defence .. i think we break even in the middle, their forwards and our backs should be about even too, so long as rivers is in charge, as for our forwards aussie is a gun by the looks of things at reading the ball off a pack.. miller is good at making packs fall over..so play him deepthen its up to ourr boys to run run and keep running..so the main difference will be the crowd and their supporters.. everyone heard the speil about how our supporters really lifted the guys in the last quarter..lets just hope we jump them early then its like a ghost town there lol..

Go Dees- 4 point winners

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
