Soooo.....does that mean the Demons will get some silverware? ;)

Sure does but first some housekeeping.

I have Haydo's football which was left at Vic Park and used in the grand final. I also came home with another one as well. If you PM me on Demonland I'll make arrangements with you to collect your lost property.

Same goes for the other person who has a missing footy.

Thanks to everyone who participated. Big thanks to Rollo for organising it all.

Pity Luke Ball wasn't there to see his preferred sides miss out on the finals action and of course, a Demons premiership.

Award Winners:

Danny Seow Medal (best on ground v Collingwood) to Heater

Vin Catoggio Medal (best on ground v Carlton)

In a ludicrous turn of events my ambitious attempt at a spoil has resulted in a broken elbow. Not badly, but still enough to keep things interesting.

Also in my haste to get out of there I left my #34 Kaspersky jumper behind. Could whoever was wearing it please let me know.

Despite these shenanigans I had a great day. Congrats on the win everyone.

Congratulations on the win! Hats off to Rollo, WJ and Crew for bringing it all together. These days are fun and excellent opportunity to socialize with fellow Demons supporters, members and fans.

Look forward to seeing some pictures if anyone took them?

If there are any, send to me via email and I can upload them to the Demonland/Demonology Fan Page on Facebook. PM me for details.

Well done.

I had a fantastic day. Went in a bit nervous...having not played footy for a very long time. But had a few touches and enjoyed meeting everyone. Will be there next time.

Thanks to Rollo and WJ for organising and coaching.

I live in the bush, but am just about weekly in melbourne...

Had a ball yesterday, very early to bed last night though.

Good to see a few guys back at the pub afterwards too.

I think yesterday has given me incentive to maybe try pull on the boots for one last time next year, will see how long it takes for me to recover first!

And thanks to everyone who helped organise it, as well as the umpires who had a tireless job. day was run really smoothly and everyone played in the right spirit

loved the sacrifice Supermercado. My photos will be around sooner or later (if they're any good, or even if their not...) Good wins!

G'day guys, 1st time poster who had a great day at Vic Park & the pub yesterday. (the old bloke who was carrying the drinks out during the 1st game with a beer in one hand)...

Thanks for the lift to Richmond station after the pub Barass, much appreciated....

Do you think for the next games, Big Footy guys could be welcomed aswell?, as there seems to be some guys there who would be keen. They are not all nuff nuffs & we are after all trying to sing from the same hymn book...

Whispering Jack, I will try to contact you soon regarding 'inside footy' mags, the era I'm keen to get copies of are 79-83..

A couple of pleasing quotes from the sainsational site:

"a collingwood guy wanted to know after u left if we can have a rematch just us 2 early next year? i dont think they really want to play the dees, i dont think anyone does."

"Yeah absolutely. I enjoy playing the Pies, good bunch of blokes.

Dees far to good for most of us it must be said, but then again their preparation etc puts them in another league."

G'day lads, cheers for the game. I cant speak for you all, but I thought it was pretty awsome to play on a ground like Vic Park. Thanks for the day Rollo.

If any of you are keen for a kick in D4 Amateurs, let me know. There were 7 of us boys from North Brunswick who played on Sunday, we would be proud to play along side a few of you lads, week in week out.

Go Demons.

Just got back home from work and would already have posted a page with photos and the video of the team song, but just got a mac recently and not so sure how to do it on iPhotos. Once my brother answers his phone and explains how easy it is to me, I'll post it. If anyone has written an article, I can paste it in to the page. It would actually look quite good, because if anyone knows iPhoto, I have set it up like the front page of a newspaper. I have come up with the front-page headline, but happy to accept suggestions/input from other posters who were at the game. Rollo, maybe once you post your report I'll paste it in.

And mac users, if anyone here can give a simple explanation, the snag I am hitting is how to 'publish' the page on to the internet and then post the link (I haven't paid for mobileme... do I need to? Is there another way?)

And btw, I was ridiculously sore today. Could not walk at work today (and my job involves walking up and down stairs and following people in a hurry around a big hospital all day). One leg has a corked thigh and won't straighten, whilst the other knee and leg are badly 'carpet burned' and won't bend from being thrown to the ground like a rag doll twice in 3 seconds by that massive Carlton bloke. And I think I broke my little finger!!!

    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.
