I for one have been guilty of some negativity around here, but mainly frustration, but today was a bloody rippa and my positive for today was Maxy Gawns effort on the HFF that set up Trenners goal, inspirational stuff like that will lift our young Dee's to greater things in the not to distant future.

One positive per post, lets c how many we can get.

YEEEEW

Jeremy Howe / Danial Nicholson / WATTS / SCULLY / Steph Martin / SYLVIA / McKenzie / JONES / TRENGOVE / McDonald / Petterd / ...

Some nice passages of ball movement & some reliable Footy and players.

should Tappscott be back next week??

I'd bring him back through Casey, his Hammy was very lowdown near the knee, so I'd be a bit more conservative with it. For mine a part game firstup just to let him loosen up. When he does come in, I think he'll be looking to replace either Strauss or Bartram, so I'd rather keep the defence as a solid Unit for the Tiges game.

After that against the Power in Darwin, I wouldn't mind him in.

I too was so impressed with big Max today. His palming of the ball was a delight and that tackle setting up Trengove's goal was superb. Pity he has to go if Jamar is fit but he'll get his turn in the years to come. An AA ruckman of the future IMHO.

Stef Martin is the one that has really got me excited. I am just loving watching him play, it's fantastic. Great hands, very decent in the ruck, quick, mobile and can slot it through the sticks. Can't leave it at that though. Watts is a massive +, also Howe, Gawn, Nicho and McKenzie.

Note: I am only talking about new positives, there are others, but we are well aware of those already.

Edit: Spose we already knew bout McKenzie, but I mean new + for this year.

Watts, Martin, Howe, Nicholson,but especially Jordie McKenzie.

We have our own Paul Kelly, and I'm not talking the 'gravy making' type.

I saw him smashed at several stoppages today, only to get up and make another contest and clearance. The guy is a rare gem. You can't teach that kind of grit.

Less OTT celebration after winning – we still have some work to do but after the game we looked more like a team that expected to win.

I liked this aspect of the post game wind-up by the players. But it makes you wonder - did we have to be told by the media it made good sense, or would our team (and captain) make that decision independently, as a matter of good leadership?

I agree man i am getting so excited about big stef. I must admit i had written him off at the start of the year.i truly didnt think hed make it. I remember having a good laugh with some of my mates when people at the club started speculating that stef would need to stand up and play a big role for us this year with the introduction of the sub rule. All of a sudden hes now a cult hero amongst us! i just love his composure in traffic and his sheer athleticism. Really hope he can keep it up so we can continue to enjoy watching him play!

GAWN! Im telling you he is a cult hero already.

Absolutely. I thought the goal Trengove kicked after the Gawn tackle got the biggest cheer of the day, and it wasn't for Trengove's nice finish.

I thought Gawn wouldn't even get into the contest when the ball went forward, but he found a way. His follow-up effort to lay the tackle was brilliant - I loved it.

There was a couple of efforts like that against Williamstown a few weeks ago. Really pleasing to the eye. It's efforts like that which the coaches take notice. In such a pressure game that's exactly the determination that they would want. They'll have confidence in picking him when required without hesitation if Jamar or Martin go down.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
