Six rounds: Six wishes

Recommended Posts

1 wish. I want to be surprised. So far this year we have won the games we all thought we would and lost the ones we thought we would. Show us some sort of youthful energy and take a scalp. Give us supporters some hope that we aren't going to be ordinary forever.

It's difficult to be surprised, when we're all so in touch with whats going on re the list newbies, but also with what we need and what the players shortcomings are....

But we have been surprised, I guess some by Martins rise, and for me Tapscotts immediate arrival, plus Bails game & Nicholson & Evans...

I look forward to Gysberts putting on some much needed upper body strength.

And hopefully Bennell showing some real aggression at the contest, and standing his ground when challenged.

1. Consistency

2. Certain 'leaders' to actually show some leadership. All we need is 4 more wins and we're a chance to make the 8. You wouldn't know it by the way some of the senior players are traveling at the moment.

3. A melee against either Geelong, Carlton or W.C. I don't think we'll win any of the games, but I will be happy so long as we're competitive and show a bit of fight. Make them earn the 4 points FFS!!

4. Win the last 3 games and win comfortably. I think we're all just expecting these games to be easy wins, but can you imagine whats gunna be said on this site if manage to only win, say, one of the games...?

5. Finish the season off ahead of Essendon on the ladder.

6. Aaron Davey to show a bit of form. He's been one of our best players through such a woeful period in the clubs history. Has had a terrible season and been criticised greatly. Would absolutely love to see him come back and just kick a few goals playing in a pocket.

Our players get more games experience.

Our players develop more self belief.

Our players get stronger.

Colin Sylvia re-signs.

We don't lose by more than 6 goals for the rest of the season.

We beat West Coke at Etihad.

In the next 6 weeks? Now that IS wishful thinking!

1. Finish off the season with 6 really good games, and 4 wins.

2. The upset being a flogging of Carlscum........................Moloney to rip Robinson's head off!

3. Blease to play out at least the last 3-4 games.

4. 10 goals in a game between Jack and Liam

5. Tapscott to hurt an opposition player every week......and i mean HURT!

6. Our players to feel the pain of missing the finals because their inconsistent efforts should not be rewarded and so that they learn the hard lessons on what it actually takes to be a decent team in this competition and EARN a finals spot! (And therefore have the pre-season from hell as a launching pad)!!!!!!!!!!

    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.
