Our First-Up Record

Just confirmed on the wonderful DEMONWIKI site what i suspected......our last win in round 1 was in 2005 ! I'll be taking the advice of Corp. Jones in "Dad's Army" if we lose: "DONT PANIC" !

 

From memory that was the Troy Broadbridge game?

Correct. Scores : Melb 15.13 103 Ess 8.9.57 Beamer B.O.G. in his debut for us Ooze 4 goals

 

Should rectify this record on Sunday. Sydney have some major injuries (Malcheski, Kennelly, Bradshaw plus others) and we play the G' well. Need to get up on Sunday.

We should know in the first 5 minutes whether the team is "on". I find it amazing how many times this scenario sets the tone for the entire afternoon.

All players should be pumped, no excuses whatsoever. There will be a big Crowd this sunday of Demons...i dreamt it 2 nights ago.

My footy dreams turn out correct more than not!!!!

We are now in the business of breaking those records as we march upwards.

No more AAMI hoodoo.

We will own North this year.

A win at the cattery. (I was there for the last win; one of the best days of my life.)

And my personal favourite bundling the Dawks out of the finals (hopefully this year, if not next year)

Yes i remember that so well from 20 years ago. Beating Hawthorn twice in 2 weeks-Who else got even close to that achievement. The Filth owe us a bucketload for that years flag. They were shite scared of the Dawks back then.

 

Indeed it is even worse.

We haven't won a game in the first two rounds since 2005.

Terrible record. Need to beat Sydney to change it. Certainly cannot see us beating Hawks, so if we lose to Sydney, record is likely to remain until at least 2012.


Sydney have a lot of injuries but they are hurting after our thrashing last year. They will be fired up...

Absolutely we are going to have to play very well to beat the Swanettes.

They made week 2 of the finals regardless of our thrashing. We better be on. It's at the 'G so we must make it count.

Hopefully Bruce and Dennis will once again get more than a little excited in the commentary box!!

Happens too often for mine - guessing they've been put to sleep listening to B) DB's pre-match

Oh Yeah!!! Very memorable , "WYL",(though it was round 22 and the first final, not the Round 1 this thread's about).

Remember Greg Healy taking that Gutsy mark running back into Langford??!! Courage personified!

I sort of wish we'd lost, now, since I'm sure Hawthorn would have knocked Collingwood off(as they might have to this year).

Our first round record is a bit worrying. Every year we go in "underdone" after a poor record in NAB Cup(or equivalent) and practice matches. Despite not bgoing flat out, we're crippled with injuries.(perhaps that's why?!)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
