Wishing you all the best of luck, make it back-to-back big karls.

Up in Brisbane for work, so apologies, would have loved to have been there.

Don't think i would have been pulling on the boots anyway, as i'm actually less fit than past forum games. Nearly died just playing nintendo wii the other day!

Make sure to bring water.

Rollinson_65, unfortunately you'll have to inform the sainters that neither of my mates can make it any more, one is going to Sydney, the other to Tasmania and won't be returning 'til Sunday night. Not our loss though, so not all bad news!

Cheers

Toot.

this topic (how hard do I hit the bloke?) was covered in the article on the last match against talkingcarlton (see articles on the main board) and there is not much more to say...

I think I missed that conversation... it's as hard as humanly possible right? ;)

It would be fantastic to have more supporters and more helpers at the game today so please consider coming along. Also, if anyone lives in the vicinity of Gosch's Paddock, it would be appreciated if you could check the condition of the ground to ensure there are no gaping holes on the flanks today. It makes it very difficult to plan match tactics when there's a real chance that your half back line might be buried deep in some underground chasm as a result of an avalanche of collapsing soil (and boys, please remember, there's no insurance or liability accepted by anyone associated with the game today).

Freak seems to have gotten into the spirit of things in so far as his pre match preparation is concerned by getting home at close to 5am on the morning of the game. Hopefully, someone can wake him up to ensure that he makes it to the ground on time.

Fortunately, the coaching panel has assumed the discipline of the Trappist monks and has spent many hours preparing for the event in silence, solitude and sobriety (ah the sacrifices we have to make for the red and the blue cause).

I won't dazzle you with any science this morning but gentlemen, in the words of Ivan from Ivanhoe we do need some discipline today. Redleg and I were both disappointed at one aspect of our game against Tanking Carlton a few weeks ago and that was in your total and utter lack of respect for your opponents. Specifically, I refer to that little bloke who played on the half forward flank. OK, he was a 14-year-old dwarf but he was on his own enough times and he did kick the goal that nearly cost us the game. Just because he's barely 4 feet tall, it doesn't mean you have to ignore him or the instructions from the coach to man up. Same goes for your opponents today. Be aware of who they are and where they are at all times.

Thank you.

    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.
