The round three match up was played almost 12 months ago on 10 April 2011. The Demons gave us a scare when they fell five goals in arrears early in the game before fighting back to win thanks to some magic from Liam Jurrah who kicked five goals. Beamer was bog.

One of the worst wins I've ever watched.

I'd like to see lots and lots of really bad wins.

A win is a win, no matter what! :lol:

Agree bit I think Striker475 makes a stronger point.

We were five goals down and if it wasn't for LJ going nuts we would have been (deservedly) belted. Our skills were shocking and we genuinely looked second rate.

No Power and Brown hurts them but we wont win pretty in this one either

I cant help but rate the lions list. Would love some more players on our list who have a red hot crack like Rockliff, Banfield etc.

Rich, Rockliff, Black is as strong as Trengove Jones and Moloney IMO. Throw the likes of Drummond, Adcock, Merret etc and i reckon they are better than people might like to believe.

No Jurrah hurts us - he's performed well against the lions on mroe than one occasion.

Me too DemonWA, I think this game is far from a cake walk.

Rockliff and Redden have more runs on the board than any of our young mids.

Neither team looks great in attack so far in 2012.

Well, well.....We all remember this game don't we. The most uninspiring game of footy/win I have ever experienced. Pretty s*** really. Oh well, come Sat. we'll more than liklely see another scrappy win with our contested brand. Hopefully this week the gap between the contested and uncontested possession can be bridged. Having meat and potatoes is good, peas such as Cale Morton are a good side touch in some situations. Should win this one though; DO IT FOR JIM AND FOR THE PRIDE AND HONOUR OF OUR CLUB! The true Melbourne re-birth begins Saturday and I can't wait. GO DEES!

Yes, but having Clark who is familiar with their game plan and style of play, will hopefully negate that to some extent.

Clark's knowledge along with the fact Drummond being out injured should result in a comfortable Demon win then?

I have a really strange feeling that our forward line is going to click on Saturday and give us all an uplifting boost on here... I think with big Sauce Merritt playing forward its going to allow us to free up some of our bigger forwards... Call me optimistic but I believe we are going to see this become a path for blokes like Petterd and Howe to really show their class... If we can match it with their midfield then we will win comfortably... I have a lot of faith in our backline and am chalking this one up as a confidence boosting Rnd 1 victory!

Well, here's hoping ��

Really looking forward to seeing where we're at this weekend. Hopefully our midfield can either match that of the Lions or come out on top. I would love to see Clark kick a bag!

I would prefer he kicks a footy GTG.

Small joke there, I hope so too.

Having little to no voice at the moment, I would really appreciate a concerted effort from all players on the ground, so I'm not yelling hoarsely at the TV!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
