Sorry to indulge myself by writing this but my dear mum passed away on Saturday after a brave 12 mth fight with cancer. Mum is a 27 year member of this great club, as I am and a seat will be there for her from 2011.

My best friend is a client of Anthony Ingerson, many ardent supporters will be aware that Ingo runs his own construction company. I'd mentioned in the last day or two, to my friend, that Ingo was mum's favourite Demon. Ingo on hearing this volunteered his attendance to her funeral on Friday.

I'm not sure if that makes me indulge myself, my mum or Ingo, but I wanted to mention it anyway. I love this club, I love my mum and I love the selfless act from Anthony. My mum would be chuffed that he is turning up.

Thanks for allowing me to post this and thanks to Anthony. Thanks to the mighty Dees, who I might not be following without Mum.

Thanks Mum.

I have passed on my condolences to you previously and reiterate them and acknowledge a fine act by Anthony.

Great of Ingo to volunteer to help see her off

And thanks to your Mum for growing the Demon tribe

Thanks Mum indeed.

Demon Hill, thanks for sharing.

Your mum obviously had a keen eye for playing talent, if IngerSole was one of her favs (god i hated hearing Dikhed rex hunt call him that)

But he was indeed a fantastic player for us, and it is great to hear that he is willing to show that kind or respect to your mum, and your family, at a time like this.

All the best from my family to yours.

I hope the presence of Anthony provides your family with some comfort, and maybe even a smile or two, on the day you give your Mum the send off i'm sure she deserves.

Regards,

faulty

Sincerest condolences and best wishes for the future.

It's been a sad week for the club but Ingo's gesture when many would not take the time is certainly something very special in a person.

X2.

Condolences on your Mother. Great act by Anthony Ingerson.

My Dad always tells me a true show of a man is someone who does something that they cant gain anything from.

Ingerson is clearly a mans man.

Demon Hill - Sorry to hear of your loss, cant be easy, but I too think your mum would of been chuffed with his attendance.

Thanks for the words everyone.

It was nice to have a chat to Anthony at what was a beautiful tribute to Mum.

Obviously only caught a bit of our draftees, Mum would be happy our 1st draft pick shares the name as one of her grandsons.

    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.
