I know that last quarter was utter rubbish from us, but we were stuffed.

Jamar could barely breath, we had Aussie, Morton and Watts who are lacking a bit of fitness, we haven't won an interstate game since 1973 and Port are a good team.

We dominated for long periods of the game and deserved to win. This victory should not be underestimated.

GO DEES!!!

If the coaching staff ever put Sylvia in the ruck when you have bigger guys like Miller there I'll vomit!

Cost us 4 goals (no fault of Sylvia's).

No team, I do not care how experienced should lose a game when 32pts up at 3/4 time.

Especially when they were playing a ok side, not Geelong or another of their ilk.

I'm just so f****** relieved we held on. Took a lot of character to get back the lead with a few minutes left. Bennell - 4 goals, Watts - 2 goals, Miller - 5 goals... Jetta on fire. There's a lot to enjoy about tonight's game.

The win will do them a world of good. Bailey's fist interstate win!

GOOOO DEEEEEEEESSSSSS!

Beat the Cats at Skill next week and we are in the eight.. Do you think they will have any petrol left.

sorry to say, but they would be destroyed after that game. Need a good recovery after the darwin game. May have a few more outs next week for the sore bodies.

They will learn a lot more from that game, then if they had gone on to a big win. Good sides never give up and win when challanged.

5 goals up is nothing in footy these days

The stuff heart attacks are made from...Go Dee's!

Sylvia in the ruck when the game is in the balance WTF! What about using Miller.

Foxel would have to be THE WORST channel to watch live footy on, replays while live action is happening :o

We need to play fit players only.

Me too,I thought we would fold as soon as port had a lead,mind you I thought port had unbelievable luck(as they often do)and we overcame "that" too.Have watched footy for near 5 decades,still don't remember a side on song having such [censored] umpires and bad bounces.

Jamar could barely breath,

And yet, he (pretty much) took the winning mark, which he would have slotted.

Robbed of the play that would launch him into MFC folklore, and forever squash the "spud" calls...

We win by one.

Miller kicks 5!

Tonights effort (from miller), doesnt mean much in terms of his career.. he needs to do it EVERY week, is what i said..

The shame that you would pull out a snippet of my statement and twist it and change it to suit your arguement.. i agreed he had A good game..

You have just joined the lowest of posters that would resort to doing such a thing - just to look good in front of a bunch of strangers..

You battle hard, but now you just sound like a fool.. lost all respect rhino, your true colours have shone thru..

Anyway.. cant you just enjoy the win?

I certainly am..

Miller was rucking around the ground. I think they would have trialled him at training and decided he wasn't any good, so go with Sylvia who wasn't absolutely rediculous (nearly won a few) and then gave something at ground level.

As for foxtel saying we would have been better off with Spencer, they clearly didn't watch Jetta's game.

Next week I expect to see Spencer in though to give the russian a chop out. He can't do as much as he did this week every week of the season.

He was enormous for us today, seriously brilliant.

There is no spud left in him anymore, he is all beast.

(But he should never kick the ball) B)

My throat is horse, the Umpires suck, we had the cat in the bag, then someone opened it again and let it out, it then claws us and it takes a Super bloody human effort to choke the life out of it at the end.

If anyone here is not proud of the boys then, you should hang your head in shame.

30+ degrees up there.

Its a wonder they all just didnt collapse on the ground like Jamar did at the end.

Talk about Character building !!!

Well done DEES but please dont make a habit of it , I dont mean winning, I just mean winning by a kick.

The stress is terrible on everyone.

But a win is a win and bugger it we deserve it, all of us, we really did deserve it!!

Happy now. This was a game we really needed to win, even before we got out to a 30+ point lead. Port have been in very good form and as has been mentioned we have had a few problems away from the 'G. Getting over the line in this one is a huge step forward as well as keeping our season on track.

Well done team.

    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

    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.
