* Clark taking a mark inside 50

* Our best players being (in order); Watts, Trengove, Grimes, Frawley, Jamar, Clark, Bartram

* Dustin Martin and James Magner going toe-to-toe, put a cage around them if need be, but I'm not certain who will walk out alive

* Melbourne win

Davey laying 10 tackles for the match.

Frawley dominating Reiwoldt

Our forwards actually getting some inside 50s for a change through Moloney, Mager, Jones and Baters contested ball work at the clearances (anyone calling for a forward to be dropped is missing the point).

Ricky P kicking 4.

Jack Watts 5 goal assists.

Us leading all day after jumping out of the blocks with the first four goals and winning by 27 points at the final siren.

Thanks for this. I have had enough of every Tom, Dick and Harry starting a new thread telling us how crap out club is in 77 different ways.

We know what's wrong with the club, there are people at work as we type attempting to sort it.

We need some players to return to form this week. I'll start with Jamar and Moloney if fit. Lets win some clearances.

ALthough Richmond deserve to go into the game as favourites, I am beginning to think it will be closer than people think. I am feeling more postive, but there is still some wariness.

In both games for both clubs so far in 2012, neither have been able to play their own game for more than 2 or 2.5 quarters. When both Dees and Tigers stick to their game plan and play it well the games have both been tight and close. When they have relaxed or worn out or whatever, the other sides have pole-axed them and run all over them. So my question is - who is going to play more of their own game, Dees or Tigers?

Yes, we have been really poor so far, but we have been able to stick to our game for longer in both games so far. Can Tigers beat us by playing 1 or 1.5 quarters better than us? Boys, I don't reckon they can. Chip will keep Reiwoldt to 2 goals and someone will tag Cotchin. At the start of the week I thought Tiges by 20 points.

Now - Dees by 8 in thriller.

I am looking forward to seeing a power forward roaming our forward line, an AA in the ruck, an AA at FB, the continued progression of a smattering of young leaders who will hopefully take over the side soon, and some tough accountable football from all the players.

I expect to see all of them, I will let you know when I see the last two...

The second last one begets (word of the day) the last one.

This week against the Tigers may well be a pivotal game, but I am more interested in seeing how they present themselves next week against the Doggies... it will be another emotional day and I am hoping they see this as a chance to redeem themselves after their atrocious performance against the Lions when the emotion of the day could not lift them.

Hardtack I actually think these things have the opposite effect and so does MM.

He thought it was a major error having the on ground jumper presentations before the first game.

I think his attitude went along the lines of " keep the players minds on one thing playing the game everything else is a distraction"

Would love to get positive but I think this could get ugly. I have always been half glass full in regards to the MFC over the past 5 years and they have turned me the other way. I just can't see how our midfield will compete

I like that King is not there, He allways gets under our skin and pesters Davey and Co.

Also like the fact that I read somewhere that Richmond has been losing the clearances pretty badly (allthough they played cartlon and pies) and Jamar/Beamer could thrive on Saturday.

Also isnt it great to be play footy at the G on Saturday

Go demons

I will not be there this week Rocknroll but if that is the case it will be hard to watch. Not sure Beamer will be playing, fingers crossed

You are correct no King is an advantage

    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.
