Hi all

For those not on the Qld Demons mail list ( and why not??) it has been decided to continue a new tradition and have a Xmas lunch for our supporters.

Last year was great although only a small group made it and this year we want to make it bigger. We have more than last year already but if you live in Qld and want to come along, please PM me for details.

It is in Ormeau which is halfway between Gold Coast and Brissie to be fair to all and it's a nice little pub called the Shearer's Arms. Good food and lots of it and we can discuss our year/ our draft picks etc etc and our hopes for a better 2009.

Hope to see you there.

Deb

Hi Deb ... wishing you best of luck for your function. Have you ever considered having another function between Xmas and early in the New Year when there are lots of Victorians holidaying on the Gold Coast?

Could make for an interesting function and a fundraiser for your group.

Thanks WJ, for the idea. Not sure I can do it this year but might just give it a whirl for next time.

For those that missed this post and would like to come - please feel free. No charge but everyone just buys their own lunch/drinks. Just need numbers so if you are in Qld or going to be visiting then, give me a PM and we would love o see you.

Just bumping this thread up for today's Queensland Demons function. Hope it's successful and I look forward to seeing a report in the near future.

Definitely going up there late December/early January and still happy to organise an informal get together to have a drink and discuss the Demons. After all, what else does one do in the middle of summer in a sunny climate?

Thanks for the bump WJ - it should be a good day. We have almost doubled the number from last year so thats a good thing and we have one new girl coming along that noone - not even moi - has met yet.

As for your impending arrival - I am sure we can find an excuse for a drink so please let us know the dates and I will start organising something now.

Anyone reading this post who would like to meet WJ whilst he is up here, just PM me and I will keep you updated with the details.

deb, do u have to apply to be a member of qld demons if a member of mfc?

There is a small form to complete to become a member however no charge.

Advantages of membership ?

We get together occasionally to discuss our club and we sit together at Gabba and Carrara games and enjoy each other's company at the after match functions.

Deb will reply when she spots your post,

Cheers.

Not as such but PM me your email and I will forward you a member ship form so we have your details on paper. Then I can send you a membership card and you will be a Qld Demon officially. MFC members are Qld Demons at no cost.

    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
