Melbourne putting the saints under some real pressure here....

Dees look really good..... Next season is going to be a ripper!! Bring a few names back into this side and we will shake a few top teams I reckon....

Jamar just kicked a bomb!

Great work KJ - keep it coming. I'm at LA airport waiting for a flight back home and its great reading this.

Great build up by the Dees..... Sylvia laid a monster tackle.... Robbo dribbled one for a behind.... Hit the post....

Saints look like they are not really taking this match seriously though..... Being a bit cocky when they are bringing the ball out the backline....

If there wasn't so much riding on this match for the Dees, then the Saints would be getting belted right now!! I have no doubt about it!!!

Melbourne will shake the eight next year (barring terrible run of injuries)

Saints back within a goal now..... Melbourne seemed to have stopped pressuring so hard?!?!?!

Dunn is doing some serious "gut" running!! Busting his arse.....

Spencer sent off with the blood rule.... Little trickle from the knee.....

Reiwoldt gives away a free kick for abusing the umpire.... He is having a dirty day big Nick.... Chip is tearing him a new one!!! HaHa....

No chance

We all have our own opinions..... But if you think that Melbourne could not beat Carlton, Essendon and Brisbane next year, then you are kidding yourself.....

It was not hard to make the eight this year.....

Saints in front for the first time today.... Reiwoldt has kicked the goal.... It looks as though Frawley has been moved off him?!?!?!? Some strange positional changes happening out there....

Sylvia just missed one.... Scores level 2 mins out from half time

Saints up 47-41 at half time....

So half time it is....

Saints 7.5. 47

Dees 6.5. 41

A first qtr that would have pleased every Melbourne follower no end!! Some great signs for the future..... Jurrah nearly caused me to have to change my jocks! The bloke has something extremely special about him.... Has everyone talking about him.....

The commentators (Bruce, Dennis and Ox) are saying how exciting this Melbourne side is and how well drilled they are.... They are saying that Dean Bailey is obviously the right man for the rebuilding job....

Jurrah has 8 posessions and 2 goals for the first half (basically the 1st qtr) and surprisingly he leads the contested posessions on the ground with 6, equal with Dal Santo, Hayes and Montagna!!!!

Colin Sylvia has gone from strength to strength this season.... He has had a first half of pure class.... Running his backside off and getting to space.... With the damaging kick on him, he has been hurting the Saints.... 16 touches, 10 marks, 5 tackles and 1 goal.... He has 102 dreamteam points to half time (for those interested) :)

Morton has 22 touches to half time.... 19 of them are uncontested, but he is definately controlling the rebound 50's.... His kicking has improved IMO...

As I have said earlier, the backline has been working well.... Rivers on Kosi, Frawley on Reiwoldt, with run coming from Bennell, Whelan, Cheney and McKenzie...

Dunn and Bartram are busting their arses on the ground.... But poor decision making under pressure lets them down.... And Dunn has also proven that he has no hope of stopping Reiwoldt :P

All in all, I would say that we have shown in the first half that we are on the way to building a side who will win a lot more than 4 games next season!!

The run out of the backline has been the most impressive thing for me.... It looks really good 90% of the time.... The other 10% it just looks like we are handballing into trouble (something we are all fairly familiar with over the past 3 seasons)

And Jurrah is worth his weight in gold.... This guy will bring $hitloads of people through the gates after a pre-season.... If he is doing the stuff he is doing now when we are winning games, then look out!

You bet we can make the 8 with some class in the mid field & another Pre season in our young kids.

I will be Yelling for it, you can please yourself Deeflog! :lol:

Don't pay $700 a year to the MCC/MFC for nothing. This year was an abaration. 2010 i want wins at all costs.

Commentators have just made an interesting observation....

Whelan is now playing in the forward line...

He has kicked 15 goals in his 149 games so far....

They said "Maybe Bailey is trying him up forward.... If it works, he may ask him to continue on next year!"

i have no doubt there will be improvement next season, but to suggest we can make the 8 is just ridiculous. By saying that you are saying we will an extra 8 games on top of this season :wacko:

as much as we improve the rest of the league will also improve and we only get younger next season...think about it guys

If this season is anything to go by, then we only need to win another 6 games to make the eight.... Essendon only won 10....

Bring in Maric, Wonna, Grimes, Watts, Green, Petterd and Bate.....

Throw in Pick 1 and 2, and Pick 1 in the PSD.....

You think about it!! ;)

I am pretty sure we will be pushing the eight....

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
