The topic thread here my sound a little ridiculous but isn't it great to really be feeling the loses (and of course the wins). I walked out of the 'G tonight absolutely ropeable and whilst I nearly would have kicked the cat (not literally) after a few k'm of walking and seeing the disgruntled Melbourne fans I decided that this anger/disappointment is actually a great thing. It shows we are back in the game, and we are no longer just content with an honourable loss, you could see it in the players and you could see it with the supporters. Its great to see the real passion returning!

Just some thoughts... Feel free to add your own!

I pretty much agree. The vibe in the stands tonight was great - real excitement at what we can do now, and then real passion at the loss. Tonight proved we're really arriving, and our supporters are ready.

I couldn't agree more. I was furious at the end of the game (watching it on TV) and could've strangled a field umpire. After calming down, I understood that this is the feeling of a supporter of a team that is a contender. The days of hoping for the game not to turn into a blow out are over Demonlanders. Melbourne are back!

Frustrated Yes!!

But be proud and loud. We knew we wouldnt win the flag this year. If any on told you at the start for the year that we wold take two of last years top 4 to less than a kick, you would take it. Whilst I am shattered about tonight and against Eddiewood, I was more disapointed againt the Dawks!! We will learn and be stronger! Just maintain your rage. Go Dee's!!!

NO.

I hate losing. especially when we don't deserve to.

I agree. Our boys deserved a win tonight. We were robbed. Lynden Dunn kicked a dam goal and it was dissallowed.

But i do love the Demons and we will have success, but right now i am numb with rage, and it doesn't feel great.

Yes, we are all numb with rage. But, this year that rage becomes less and less of a time to get over. I cannot wait for next Saturday!!!

The Russian will give Nick Nat a little lesson as our midfielders take centre clearence after clearence.

I am absolutely blind with rage at the moment. I will say it again. I AM FURIOUS.

I was one of those supporters that BOOOOOOOOED after the siren, and deservedly so. I hope the Bulldogs don't think that they won some valiant win, because they had 19 players on the field tonight, one with the last name McBearnie

I can't wait for the brownlow votes this year to hear Demetriou

"3 votes, Mcbearnie

2 votes Scully....."

NO. F'ing FFFFFFFFFFFand any more derivatives of FFFFFFF you can think. of. It's not OK that we lost tonight. REALLY NOT OK. This and the CollingF'ing wood F'ing game are going to see us miss out on finals and we really deserve more. I f'ing hope we hurt like hell tonight in the rooms. I am not going to be able to look at football this week in the media. I am devastated. We were a five goal better side tonight. They just knew how to score from nothing all night long and we couldn't buy one despite multiple more efforts in fwd fifty. Every freaking thing seemed to go for them tonight. I hate the footy gods. F'ing hate them. Cry rant cry.

Everything seemed to go right for them because they had compusure and we didn't. Just like the Collingwood game.

But we will get better at maintaining our composure, as our young stars grow together and build belief that they can perform when the pressure is really on.

Then we will dominate this competition for 10 years.

Take solace in that, and the fact we will absolutely tear the Weagles apart in 5 days time!

I agree in that - I was proud of our team who were brave in defeat. Whereas we would once have lost that game by 10 goals we now have sufficient self belief to win those games. That we didnt is a credit to the dogs who showed enough poise when it counted.

I am waiting for the stats but I believe Hughes and PJ justified their selection (thankfully as a number of us called for that), Bennell showed what a live wire he can be - my perception is that Rivers and Dunne disappointed at times (not som much with endeavor) but will reserve further judgement until the stats come in.

I want two to three decades of domination by the Dees. Call me unselfish if you want. By the way anyone who thinks that Lake didn't get a hand on that ball is kidding themselves. Fwiw Green should have tried to shepherd it through instead of half heartedly going for the mark initially prior to pulling out.

PJ didn't should not have played in the wet.

What about last week.

It's a young team, so things like the Kangarros game will happen. We'll have some really good wins (Brisbane round 5) and really competetive losses (Collingwood round 2 & Bulldogs round 7). But we'll have some ordinary games also this year like against the roos. It's just the way this season will go. Having said that by 2012 I wont be accepting a loss to North Melbourne!

Do we really want to make the finals this year??

would be a great experience for the team but i think if they just miss this year the hunger will be massive next year...

Either way im looking forward to 2011 - 2014...

All the kids will have got games into the legs and will be coming on.... By then Scully should be close to a Brownlow too!!!

I am nervous about next week. If we don't dominate West Coast at the G then we have just gotten lucky against the Bulldogs, Pies and the Lions.

Teams that are for real will always man handle horrible sides like Richmond, Adelaide, West Coast, and to a lesser extent Hawthorn and Essendon. The fact that hawthorn smashed us sooooo badly in round 1 (with out franklin), makes me a bit aprehensive about this weeks game!

They didn't play badly.

But colllingwood was our second game! No one knew how skillfull our young team was, so Malthouse had no idea he had to prepare for it. They were caugh off guard. Bulldogs are old and slow, and they still smashed us in the first quater. It was good to come back and be close but i have had enough of a Melbourne side that doesn't start well then chases their tales the rest of the game. It is too hard on the players and the fans. THe last 5 years has proved that!

I think the jury is still out on us!

    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

    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
