Walking to the 'G in rain and dark clouds... anticipating a winnable game. The roar when Trengove got his first AFL goal, and the bigger roar when he came to the boundary.

It got louder when Junior kicked the goal to put us in front. Bennell on fire in the last qtr. Euphoria when Jones sealed it. Hearing the siren and Melb song, drowned out totally by the clapping. Sun shining and red and blue everywhere on the ground and in the stands. A miserable bunch in white walking quickly & dejectedly departing our arena.

Every second car on the way home with red & blue scarves fluttering. Great to see those cobwebs finally blown away.

Now savoring how good our backline was, and the tackling and intensity. It was a good day!

How good our back line IS.

I was happy as a pig in crap when the siren went, we all know how good the boys played last week and for a brief few minutes it looks as though we could not put them away. BUT McDonald and Jones corrected my thoughts...

What a day, love seeing the Red & Blue out in the crowds today, even if it was only 23K today.

Would have LOVED to hang my scarf out the window, HOWEVER they ran out of members scarfs again! 3 weeks in a row, come on MFC!

Great feeling today. It has been a while, and to notch up an early season win really feels great.

The clapping and cheering was pretty loud. And we sang it loud too!

Yeah. It was awesome helps erase some of the pain. Melbourne supporters where sensational today. We screamed our guts out.

So much better walking away from the ground after a win, my 6 year old Grandson was over the moon, he's seen a lot of losses and wins have bees rare. You feel better knowing that they are actually good enough to win games and you're not just going to fill in the afternoon.

The song was very quiet today and I don't think it was because of the noise of the crowd.

I was great seeing all the red and blue faithful so elated after the game, especially the kids because they need to feel proud of their club or else they'll give up on the Dees. While today's game was hardly highly skilled and played with intensity, what i was really impressed with was how we responded after the first half.

Great feeling, hopefully will become more common this year.

And yes i think the song was a bit low, i swear it used to blare across the speakers but now you only just hear it in the background.

I also loved the fact that Scully and Trengove were kept back while the others went to greet the crowd, then were sent over on their own. Perhaps not in keeping with the "we are a team" mentality, but it was pretty cool to see them doing the rounds on their own, and no doubt was pretty special for them to have the adoration of the fans all to themselves.

Not sure they were held back by the club. Seemed that Rohan Smith grabbed them both for an interview on Fox.

So proud to be MFC when Jackyboy ran off after his goal and the crowd rose as one and cheered him off. We do that better than most clubs IMHO.

Also, was bloody fantastic to see the smile plastered from ear to ear on Scullgove as they made their way off the ground. These kids are going to make us one hell of a successful club.

What's with the song being so quiet?

YES! i hate that!

The song should roar across the stadium.

Also agree with Pates i remember the song once was played pretty loud. definitely A LOT louder than now.

Living in Adelaide and having a lot of Cows-supporting friends, today was unbelievably sweet. I think I was more pumped after Jones' goal than even for the Freo win in '08. When Junior kicked that one I was so, so stoked because I had this nagging feeling that we weren't going to put them away. And the SA-based media (The Advertiser and 5AA radio station notably) is such a steaming pile of horse shyte, it would have been awful if we'd lost today. Such a sweet, sweet victory. The on-field push to the upcoming flag started today.

As others have said, good win coming from behind. The crowd got behind the boys, and they returned with a win. Good for the kids.

Adealiade Demon, give us an update during the week on the "steaming pile" (ie. 5aa) putting pressure on the Crows...the jungle drums might commence at 0-3. Or they'll fall back onto key injuries during the game.

I didn't actually notice that. I just assumed they were being talked to by some staff or some such. However, I stand by the rest of the comment, it would have been unbelievable for them walking the boundary alone with the fans cheering them on like that.

I only listen to AA on Wednesdays and Thursdays as that's the only time between 4-7 that I'm in the car (and at other times it's JJJ or cds) and that's only for about 40 minutes, but this week I might have to turn on the old wireless at home, especially tomorrow afternoon. Last Thursday was quite hilarious, Rowey and Cornesy crapping on about how there is no way that the Cows can let themselves lose, they just have to find a way to win. It will be particularly funny because the exact lines "The first two weeks there were excuses (!!!) but this week there is no excuse, they simply must win" was trotted out several times from Rowe and Michaelangelo Rucci (I listened to the Saturday sports show on the way to soccer). Surely the injuries will be the excuse this week.

Adelaide Crows fans sh*t me more than any others because they are the most ignorant, uninformed, biased, fickle fans I have ever known. The small-minded SA mentality certainly perpetuates this. I know a lot of knowledgable Crows fans, but they are 1 for every 100.

Tell you what - they can spend all week coming up with excuses and reasons as to why they were the better team and should have beaten us except for blah blah blah, and we will walk around with a smile and the four points.

Sounds like a fair deal to me.

    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 sta

    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
