Don't want to nitpick and it probably won't matter if we lose, but I like to tape the Foxtel replay of the game as it uses less space on the storage guide. Live is much more than the replay without breaks. I noticed we are only on replay once the whole week at 2.30 AM sunday morning and as well another program is listed at the same time.I can see the recording failing. Other teams like Blues and Dogs etc are replayed 5-6 times that I can see. Why is that?

I always took it as no commercials during regular play time ie siren to siren each qtr I can't understand why anyone would be worried about between qtr ads

Rhett, if you're still watching this thread the following sentence this page (http://www.foxtel.com.au/xbox/packages/default.htm?presel=pbtm) is a shocker: "Don’t add AFL now. For free^ AFL trail jus

Any danger of putting Dwayne up against a wall and shooting him? Would make a great one-off special.

If we win, that will be disappointing.

If we lose, that will be appropriate.

I would think that it is appropriate.

TV works on ratin,g that is who will watch.

Neither us or the Lions have big followings.

I would not be surprised if the 4th replay of Carlton and Richmond rates better than the first replay of the Dees.

We simply do not have the followers to watch.

If we win 7 out of the first 10 it might be different.

That can't be the case. Sydney v GWS is on many times as is GC v Crows.

Sydney vs the crows does not count there was nothing else to show.

And the crows probably have more members / supporters than the Dees and Brisbane.

AS well as that the SA supporters are nuts they probably watch the game mutiply time as they think the result might change.

After watching this match, it's easy to have the opinion that our players have not been developed in a manner that should have had us well and truly entrenched in the top 6 teams by now.

Our team is 80% senior players in this match. Experienced players are so much more important that we knew.

Amazing how the game changes so quickly nowadays. Flicked over by luck didnt realise the game was on.

A completely different looking Melbourne side that day. For starters, a crowd shot cut to our President and CEO.

Messrs Gardiner and MacNamee respectively.

Playing that day that are now departed were (I think):

Robbo, Wonna, Miller up forward

McLean, Bruce, Junior, White onball

Carroll, Bell, Warnock down back, Probably others i missed too.

A great game to relive!

Wheatley out there too................great to see that game again.

How well did Bate play in the second half.

Robbo and Wonna were awesome in that game, and you McLean was a ball magnet.

I think I heard the commentators say Jones had 24 touches and got on the end of 4 goals the week before.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
