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.

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

Agree bit I think Striker475 makes a stronger point.

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.

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.

    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.
