Demon turnaround this Sunday

Relax, we've got this

SMF What did you drink with Lunch today?

Whatever it was is mind altering.

Next Sunday could easily be the most embarrasing performance in the last 20 years for the MFC.

After we pay tribute to Big Jim and all he stood for we will turn in another performance similar to the last three weeks.

I can see nothing that will change the way we will play.

Add to this the Dogs will see us as the chance to impress there fans after this weekend's game.

Another flogging in the series that we be the 2012 season

Sorry, but after our past 3 weeks, even with Lake out, I cannot see us rolling the Doggies; they are another of those teams that seem to have the wood on us. I'm usually very upbeat about our chances, but I'm starting to get whatever it is that Old Dee is suffering. After watching the way GWS showed some fight against the Weagles, I am feeling more and more disenchanted...as I said somewhere else, I feel bad about giving my 10 year old son a Young Demon membership as part if his birthday present...in retrospect, I think he might have preferred a pair of socks.

I remember a game back in 2003 or so against the doggies where we smashed them even after we kicked 29 behinds. I miss those days...

The most embarrassing will come in Geelong.

Don't be so sure. We do play GWS this year, and from watching the game against West Coast they showed more passages of play that resulted in goals in one game than we have gotten all season.

No Jocks might have been better hardtack.

Hardtack the only disease I have is the realisation that we have the worst list in the competition.

The results of last season and the last 6 weeks prove it.

I have said this often over the last year but you cannot pull your socks up if you do not have any on.

Now I will get the usual barrage for being Negative.

IMO it is simple Poor players equals poor results

I was just having a laugh Old dee, I am equally as pessimistic as yourself.

You know what they say, misery loves company.

What about Gold coast they did a lot better job against the Bombers than we will do.

Stranger things have happened. We might just click. perhaps the Ocean Grove coaching battle will make something strange happen. We shouldnt give up straight away. All indications arent great but you never know...

    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 w

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
