I'll start the ball rolling today with this post.

I'm hoping that Beamer plays and shows no Ill effects from last week's corkie.

I'm hoping we can get off to a decent start and

I'm hoping we get the four points.

That's all!

It will be interesting to see how this game plays out as these 2 teams have the most opposing gameplans in the comp with Sydney shutting down the game and trying to get as many stoppages around the ground and the Dees ranked no. 1 in playing on after taking a mark.

Who runs with Goodes? Dunn & Bruce teaming him?

Sydney will try and take advantage of our slow starts and hit the scoreboard early even though they aren't a fast starting side.

Bails should tell the team we're playing the 3rd quarter first this week!!!

...Wonna, Jurrah, Bennell and Davey....here come the party tricks.

HOPEFULLY!!! Wona hasn't been overly fantastic in his few games for us this year...

It's an interesting late change - a midefielder out, replaced by a small forward. I guess Maric can run in the middle.

8 goal lead at half time.

Great to see the Dees playing with confidence. Our skill level suddenly improves and we hit targets.

The speed of our forward is awesome. When Sydney defenders have the ball our forwards materialise beside them. Good signs for the future.

Sylvia dominating in the midfield.

Jamar - goalsquare - mark - goal. 20 secs to halftime.

Dees 48 pts up

Special mention to:

Slyvia- leading possies

Green- him or sly bog so far..

Bruce- amazing how good he is with actual support

Davey

Frawls

Morton on goodes- goodes 1st qtr win, morts 2nd qtr win, 13 possies each, morts with a couple extra marks and tackles-but goodes has a goal.

and Bartram..

What a story Clint bartram. A really good year and rapidly approaching a level we all hoped he could get to.

I think the whole family thing he went thru a couple of years ago wouldve knocked him around a bit more than people realise.

He was such a hardass when he 1st started- an instant fav amongst many and another potential 'matty whelen'- and he's back at that level again this season..

Hope he keeps it up.

Another good game from him so far today.

Kickin back to enjoy the 2nd half - which i guessed earlier, may be a little quieter for us after the WA trip - but think we have a good enough lead

Enjoy people.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
