Great Win But?


Demon Stalwart

Recommended Posts

Just wondering, I wasnt at the game and I didnt get to see what happened when the team song was sung?

Did Bailey join in and belt out a few notes??

I heard the song on the radio and could only hear the passion.

It was great feeling Knowing the boys finally had a chance to sing it I hope he joined in.

Been a long time coming, lets hope they get to sing it a lot more over the next few weeks

The Richmond game now takes on a whole new meaning and places a lot more empahsis on the boys

They have won their first game and now they Must follow it up with a comprehensive win over the Sad Tigers

Bailey would never join in, as he stated the week before, it is the players who play and win

Loved how Bails gave the supporters and members a pump-up too. Nice to finally get some public acknowledgement for those of us who have sat at the 'G week after week through hard, seemingly endless winters where there has been rarely a glimmer of hope. I, for one, will be walking around with that very same smile he talked about in his press conference last night. Hope it might last for two weeks when we pump the Tigers next week.

What was the go with all of the supporters in the rooms afterwards?

I was watching it on the tele and when they went to interview Brad Green, there was a mass of supporters off to his left-hand side.

Is that normal?

No it is not, it is usually a few family and friends, but believe Chris Connoly got carried away with the win and threw the doors open........

That might be Baileys view but to me every person employed by the Melbourne football club is a part of that win, everything they contribute has some bearing somewhere.

To the staff who help run the club,to runners on the field, to the individual coaches who help the players get to where they are on the day

Let alone the coach himself. All are Integral parts of the team , all put in their bit of course all are not in a position to join in the song.

Bailey was there and should have joined in and been as much a part of that song as were the players they may be the ones on the field as Bailey states, but it takes a lot to get them there and have them perform. Bailey is as much apart of the win as they are. Wether he has footy boots on or not, therefore I dont see anything wrong with a public display of passion

Does anyone?

Highlight for me; Jack Trengoves face. He absolutely LOVED the win! He was filled with joy and I have the feeling he will remember this game for a very long time.

Does anyone think the fact that his first AFL win was against Adelaide will have any kind of relevance to anything at all?

I love this guy. His character alone is employable, and his happy go lucky ways are immensly hard to resist!

I've always been one for the players should be the only ones singing it but I agree that a huge number of people are involved in the whole thing and should enjoy it too... Maybe a 2nd larger circle around the players singing it every now and again...

Same. I kept an eye out for the reactions of the likes of Trengove, McKenzie, Scully, Grimes etc and you could see how much it meant to them, which was memorable to witness as a supporter of the club during what is potentially a historic period.

Not that I'm getting my hopes up.

Maybe it just maybe it was the players who have decided that's how they want to celebrate the win. And fair enough too.

If the others feel entitled then lets have ring a rosy around the inner group.

    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
