not a bad crowd.....

i did hear a sydney fan behind me say that even though we have less fans then collingwood and the other strong membership sides we are close to the loudest

hope its true

I've seen quite a few people saying the same thing. When Green kicked that toe poke goal, the MCC Members went crazy.

I think e25 is close to the mark the whole round was less than expected.

GP had an effect, my daughter and son in law went along with two of my friends.

There has been a lot on in the last 6 weeks and the $ only goes so far.

I went to the GP on saturday Cans were $6.50, you run out of money long before you get drunk

even at my tender age!

I think our attendance was as good as anyone all things considered.

Careful, it's not healthy to agree with me too much.

$6.50 for a beer?

Mind you, I ran a bar at the Avalon Airshow back around 2000 or 2001 and the cans were selling for $6 a pop back then, woodstocks were $9!

Daylight robbery, yet the lines were immense.

For who e25? then again mine is probably in more danger!

As for the long lines just shows how many [censored] pots there are in Aus.

but couldn't believe sk-geelong only getting 40k.

I couldn't believe it myself , the stands look empty when the player ran onto the ground .

Still , with the Aints boring as Bat5hit game plan , only the diehards would want to watch .

Curious to know if next weeks game being Sunday twilight, will that impact on people going to the game?

I for one was looking forward to going, but am now only 50-50, because of this fixture. (I get up at 3 a.m on the Monday.)

I for one ain't going because of the time if it were 1 or 2pm I would, but being 2 hours from the city makes it too late getting home especially if I want to take the kids! Pretty sure it's live on fox sports also!

I'm glad it's not our home game because Sunday twilight games are dead zones, especially for families with young children. It's an awkward time.

However we played Hawthorn at the same time slot last years, when both teams were vying for the 8 and the crowd was pretty decent, despite it being damp and cold.

Of course nothing will stop me from going... I've waited far too long to not feel guilty about giving Bruce sh*t B)

We got over 30,000 so we made some sort of profit. I was sitting second level and I have never ever heard the crowd so electric for Melbourne in many many years.

I had shivers even before we hit the front.

I think it seemed louder in those memorable Freo and Bris games.

That said, in the last quarter the crowd came alive.

    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

    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
