The game with the infamous pre-bounce wrestling match between Jakovich and Gayfer. Watch how the trimmed down Jako recovers to take the first mark and kick the first goal. The back problem rares its ugly head in this pre-season contest. Also contains memorable contributions from Stynes, Tingay, Rohde and others. Watch for a youthful Schwartz and Neitz, while Pike makes his debut.

And gets owned.

You gotta remember, 45HG16, he was just a kid and Monkie and Ronnie were hardened campaigners. It doesn't bother me that the heavier brute ended up on top. What I admire was the willingness to fly the flag.

Sometimes you just learn things the hard way.

Yeah fair enough.

Does anyone have footage of him taking out Hird in the granny? Him and Ward were the only ones to fly the flag that day... from memory...of the cancelled game...

Remember sitting and watching this at the game and thinking our football club will never win anything while we have blokes who are more frightened of their shadows on the list and not prepared to defend their team-mates...what was McDonald thinking just after Simmonds got nailed...looks like he is asking Long if he wants a cup of tea...too many blokes who lacked the inner pit-bull....shame really.

Sadly we only had Schwarz. It was a moment when 6 or 7 MFC players needed to rush in and throw whatever weight they had around. Long shouldh've felt the full force of not only a player but of the ground. We let them bully us that day and it was a real pity.

My big concern about the current crop is Are they hard enough? Not since the Northey days have we matched teams for strength and desire for sustained periods.

Fair to say I had steam pouring out of all the pores in my body. Fuming at Michael Long, and fuming by the inaction of certain members of the team after this incident. McDonald was certainly one of them, first on the scene - it was more like he was asking Long if he wanted one scone or two. Real powder-puff stuff.

When it's a final, a GF, FFS show some anger and stick up for your teammate. Ox was fighting a lone hand.

Jeez, only watched part 1 so far but how good was Tingay? Forgot what an absolute gun he was. Shame his career was ruined through injury.

Spot on, adsy! Stay tuned for the 2nd qtr, which I hope to have up tonight, where Tingay goes to half time with 20+ possessions!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
