............And thanks for ruining the game. Ha!!

Wasn't much of a game from Adelaide's POV but it did highlight the skills of our Indigenous players. Although we only had two in the team, it's comforting to know we have Jamie Bennell, Neville Jetta, Liam Jurrah and the ever-reliable Wheels around to add excitement to the club. I reckon these blokes could be just the ones to help to our revival as a footy club.

fell asleep early in the 2nd quarter but davey and wona were both stand outs in the 1st for mine.

Davey was excellent, putting other players in space on a few occasions.

Wona looked like he had picked up a yard of pace, lost his direct opponent many times and was just everywhere in the 1st.

The presentation prior to the match starting showed how much this one game means to Indigenous players. It was almost like a right of passage/initiation for the young players. The serious intent on the faces of all the players showed how much it means for them to represent their people. I recently read an article on Griffen and Campbell. It appears that Aaron Davey is seen as an elder statesman amongst the "Indigenous Brotherhood". This is great news for our recent Indigenous recruits. I am sure, our revival as a super power will be driven by the skill, speed and unity these boys will bring . On a side note, does anyone have a comprehensive list of all the Indigenous players to have played a senior game for MFC?

Watched the replay and it was an ordinary game after quarter time when the rain came. Aussie kicked two goals but was pretty quiet after kicking his second goal early in the third quarter. Aaron Davey was just OK but I suppose that being an early February hit out so you can't take much away from the form of the players. My guess is that both will be rested from Friday's practice match and given Lima Jurrah's lack of conditioning, he won't play either and will be eased in later in the pre season NAC Cup/Challenge games.

It looks like Ozzie has dropped a few KG's as well. Hes looking very fit and much much quicker than last season.

The ABC commentators were wrapped with him.

It was really hard to tell who's playing well in that game with deep benches being rotated heavily but AW did some nice things. Agree with bt. Seemed to look to have time and space and he seems to know what's around him all the time.

Looking for big things from him and prove all those doubters who call him a one trick pony.

    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
