3 things i fell in love with this season....

1. Petterd

2. Reliable and dominant backline for the first time in my life.

3. Wonna and Jurrah returning from injury and retaining their spots til year's end. Particularly Jurrah's ability to play only 8 games, but kick 21 goals and come 3rd in the goalkicking. I think this one was a big deal for me because I really thought the bubble might burst and that his amazing first 10 games might have had a fair portion of ass to them. But no. Even with a pretty hardcore injury, and pretty low fitness (he disappeared in the last quarter against the Roos) he still managed to have as much of an impact as you could ask for.

1. Scullys ability to burst from a pack.. his kicking will come good and wow just wow

2. Jurrah.. its feels so good to have other clubs supporters to comment on how good he is, instead of ribbing us all the time

3. The Club.. it was a bit of 'meh' club off the field, but now everything is coming together and im loving it!

1. Scully's work off the ball.

2. Frawley's superior judgement, and how he reads the way he needs to play each situation perfectly.

3. The Jurrah-Aussie combo. The epitome of synergy.

(can I add a fourth? Lynden Dunn's tache, not to mention his renaissance)

1. Chip (and anyone who doesn't say they did too is lying!)

2. Our "instant" forward line (Dunn, Green, Ricky early on, Wona later, Jurrah, Watts up high)

3. The quick transition from "ROBBBBOOOOOOOO!!!" to "JURRRRAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

1. James 'Chip' Frawely - that neck deserves a postcode. Love this bloke.

2. The Big Rush - Jamar carried the ruck duties through every game, you could see him tiring. Great credit

3. Optimism - the club is full of it and it's been fantastic to take that feeling to every game this season.

Beaten to it ^^. For Geddy Lee;

1. Frawley - been a long time since we saw a defender of his ilk at the MFC. Fast, strong, smart, a long accurate kick and not afraid to kick a goal. Will win our B&F and I absolutely love him.

2. Scully - been a long time since we saw a midfielder of his ilk at the MFC. Incredible tank, tenacity, focus, speed and drive. Lives to play football for the MFC and will improve dramatically.

3. Jurrah - incredibly unpredictable. Can leap over 200cm opponents, yet can also get the crumbs and burst away from everyone. Perfect kicking action and incredibly accurate from any angle, whether it be snap, drop punt or miscellaneous. Never panics and always looks to have time. Great at losing his opponent. I could go on.

These three blokes are the reason I went to nearly every game we played in Melbourne this year!

1. Frawley - I don't think i've ever had more confidence in any defender to come through the club

2. Jurrah - Excitement machine, will generate public interest in the Dees and hopefully the youth

3. Debt free - How sweet it is!

1. The big get f'd to everyone who said we should have merged – just generally the passion and commitment shown by the board/jimmy/schwaby/bails

2. New facilities - which should see our appalling injury rates decline

3. New Talents - some of them we knew we had (tommy and trenners), and the ones we’ve unearthed (“junior junior”, dunny, chip, jurrah and hopefully tappy and blease)

1. The fact I have more than 3 things to put on this list.

2. all of the above in this thread.

3. Mo's for all underated players if Dunne is any guide.

(Jimma the love afffair started long ago, you are a legend of the club and life.)

    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
