- latest news re hawks. Roughhead has gone down. If its serious they might struggle to field a team against us round 1.

Lets Hope we pick a side who can beat the Dawks. Exploit all these weaknesses & holes they have.

Let's not just pick a team of players we think are ready, Let's aim to SMASH these bloody Hawks just like they did to us 2 years ago in Round 1

That will get the membership numbers up as we all know who visits our home ground in Round 2.

Go Demons-"If it Bleeds we can kill it" an old but very true statement.

Really hope he is ok and availible round one. We have a few injuries but the hawks are in a worse situation than us. I thought they were a chance this year but injuries are changing my mind.

A tad dramatic. Although I would love nothing more than to beat the Hawks round 1. Hell we'd be in the 8!

Not Dramatic at all if you were in the crowd in '87 & '88. We have a big chance to beat Hawthorn if they are so depleted and that's the attitude i want to see in Round 1

A HFC official said it's not serious - according to SEN. Just precautionary.

Let's not get too excited. I'm sure he'll be there for round 1.

But let us not forget old Roughy may be feeling a little Tender come round 1....Memories of Nieta's Hip & Shoulder on McCabe are flashing before my eyes!!! (It was Mc Cabe wasn't it-pretty much finished his career!!)

Yeah, I hope he's allright too, we don't want the opposition to fall off the edge of the world so we can win. Then we'd be just like the Colliwobbles.

Exactly.

Who they put on the track is their issue?

Given our young side and the hell we have been through in the past 3 years why shouldn't we take a win that is there and it should be celebrated?

A small step in the bigger scheme of things to a flag in a few years time but a big short term step in young players belief in themselves and their confidence. Worth 8 points. Its going to be a long year for young bodies.

No, I was at the 87 finals series. I was devestated, I cried, but I don't hold any grudges like you. Im not interested in watching another teams players fall over so we can benefit. Especially given our situation. Having said that if it was a grand final I hope they all bloody fall over.

You obviously weren't at the '88 Grand Final though, that's obvious. Of course i hold a grudge against Hawthorn, I Hate all clubs except the MFC including the AFL.

Sick of seeing every one else win cups, particularly the ring ins of the past 20 odd years. :)

Move on to where? This club aint nasty enough, that's why we do not win.

Really? I thought it was because our players aren't as good as the ones from other teams.

Hitler/Mousselini/Ivan the Terrible

Vlad the Impaler/Manson/Bush

Bin Laden/Amrosi/Zedong

Judas/Hussein/Jones

Lucifer/Jack the Ripper/Stalin

Mugabe/Pengli/Behram

COACH: Kavorkian

Would obviously be one of the best lineups in history if "nasty" is the only criteria. I'm sorry to say that "nasty" means nothing when you have players dislocating shoulders and breaking jaws and doing their knees and tearing their hamstrings for the umpteenth time.

    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
