I for one would love to see Melbourne actually challenge for the Flag and being a Demon supporter for years, I look forward to that day again

However, at the Moment I am happy just to saviour every win we have, I just want the boys to go out each week concentrate on the game in front of them and Hopefully do their best to win it

As I have said before as long as they dont get thumped in a game again this year Ill be happy.

I enjoy every win and last Saturday night was just GREAT.

Dont worry about Finals dont even breathe the word

Lets see where we end up at the end of the home and away season and as long as the boys have done their best thats okay by me.

(However If they did get into the Finals that would mean added extra Bonus Time. Arggh to Dream ;) )

But reality bites

Only time will tell as to where we stand at the end of the H&A.

How much we have improved and where we are going

What we are lacking and what we hav gained.

For now Im just happy to be able to celebrate and enjoy the wins for a change.

I dont know how the rest of you feel?

But for me right now its good to be a Demon supporter.

    Good post DS. I think all of us are dreaming a little about what could be, but it is right to add a pinch of reality.

    I have been following the Dees since about 1960 and don't think I have seen a better group taking the field for the Demons than the current list. I know we will be challenging for the Flag again and in the not too distant future, but it is probably unrealistic to expect that to happen in 2010.

    It's hard to see such a young group being able to maintain the same sort of pressure as we have seen over the last 4 weeks for another 17 weeks. What they have done takes enormous concentration and effort, and I think we have to expect that some of the young guys like Scully and Trengove will tire as the season progresses. Another strong pre-season in 2010/11 will however help them to withstand the 'heat' and maintain the pressure even longer.

    Don't get me wrong - it would be maginificent to see the red and blue take to the MCG in September 2010. But we all need to take this a week at a time and only start to think about it over the last round in August. I suspect before the season is finished though that we will see at least one game where the pressure is off just a bit and the boys get overrun by a more experienced team.

    In the meantime, it's good to be able to believe again - to believe every week that we are a chance to win the game (and not just hope that they will be competitive). Thank you to Junior and every player on the list for giving me reason to enjoy the footy again.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
