Mate you didn't even watch or listen to the game going by your earlier posts. Just looking at the disposal count at the end of a game doesn't tell you anything. 1st half Bruce's first 5 handballs missed targets resulting in turnovers or stopping our forward thrust. He improved 2nd half but would not say he was anywhere near the best players.

Yes Bate played very well.

Great team effort from the mighty Dees and great footy to watch.

Bate played better than well, especially in the first half where he directed our midfield ball going forward, spotting up numerous forward targets lace out. Think back, (all you guys), to the first & 2nd Qtrs, where he received or won the ball in the Mid zone And turned us into attack, he straightened our small forward structure with his great use by foot, hitting targets almost every time.

No doubt... Bate was sensational... all those advising he was working into match fitness/ form were spot on....looked fantastic and really gave us some spine through CHF

Watching the game on Foxtel here in WA I was so proud to hear the commentators full of praise for us. Tony Shaw was loving us, Alistair Lynch less so because of his Brisbane allegiance. We are an excitement machine!

I think Tony Shaw had covered the commentary box with his own DNA he was that excited!

Talk about pumping us up!

He's given it to us when we were down, so at least he is squaring up now we are on the up.

FYI Ladies and Gents,

Bail missed because of a corked thigh that didn't come up. Apparently some heavy bruising and bleeding. Hopefully right for next week - who misses out though?

I would reverse it again, Martin out Bail in... Also, Jack Watts would have played his allotted 3 games for Casey. PLEASE can he play against Kangas next week. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE.

Morton 2 weeks :)

who will miss out :blink:

PS - didnt realsie forgot how hard it was to find your car at the G at night.

When is the last time we had two big wins "50 point" in a row

1998 apparently, was the last time we had three good wins in a row, according to the foxtel commentators after the match !!

That was BEAUTIFUL!

Hands down the best win we've had since 2006, and our highest ladder position since 2006 as well.

As I said last week, the tide has turned and we are finally on our way. Never in my life have I been more confident of success than I am right now.

GO DEES!!! :)

My young bloke reckons tonight "...is just like the olden days..." 2006 in his case.

The roar with each goal, the singing and the elation.....it has been a while but I'm looking forward to my first opportunity to watch the Dees win a flag....with my son. We've got years of good times in front of us

Just saw a few highlights on the news. I was thrilled to see footage of Brown on a long lead. Frawley overhauled him, got to the ball first and easily punched it out of bounds. Another play and Frawley outmuscles him to take a nice mark. Have to love a guy who is that fast and still strong enough to push Brown off the ball like that.

What a great night and a great win. So much to love - 4 great quarters of hard running, tough tackling and good-looking footy. Can't believe I'm saying this about the Demons! Our depth seems so much better now - e.g. Junior goes off and Jeordie comes on to do just as good a job. Love how Scully straigthens us up - I saw him have the option to go out wide to the wing to two free players, but instead took off through the center square and deliver beautifully inside 50. We looked stronger than them all over the ground for 4 quarters. Best for years.

JONESY's GOAL...How Good was it....As Good as the Captains Goal in the Last Quarter-we had to get that first goal of the Last Q.

So proud to be there tonight. Belief is an amazing thing when the whole team feels it.

Can we get a win away from the MCG? Dean's next test.

Go You Mighty DEMONS :)

I agree, I could not believe my eyes tonight, there were just white hot. Was expecting the boys to go hard, but was not expecting this. Fantastic win :lol:

He Is Not ready yet. Let us not crucify the Kid by playing him before he's ready to fly.

He's gunna be a good'un, but he needs a little quiet time, with us punters Not expecting Big things from him strait off the Bat...

When the MIDS, start to Constantly bring the ball forward more precisely,,, That should be about the right time to elevate the Kid.

    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.

    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
