22 vs 22. We can win. The dawks don't have a match for clarke. So if jamar and moloney can win plenty of centre clearances and allow the dangerous Sylvia and davey to crumb off the long bomb, it gi

Have not been around to see the games Big Jim but by looking at the scores we might finally get it around the middle of 2013.

Keep in mind we are still loosing by significant margins.

Sorry DS but you will have to wait till 2013 at the earliest, we have a significantly poorer list than the Hawks miracles only happen in the Bible.

I'd have to say i'm a little worried too OD. I get the feeling the boys (and coach) seemed in some way "satisfied" with their efforts last week, yet we still lost by over 7 goals against a fairly depleted and relatively inexperienced (compared to recent years) Cat side. They had the wood on us and better quality players at the top (experience wise) and were playing at home in front of a home crowd i realise.

But if we don't step it up to another level (which might be just 2% extra effort/output or so....who knows) this week we might get a nasty surprise i reckon. Hopefully we do, but the mindset this week is a bit of a worry going in.

I have a family dinner that starts at 7.30 and will drag me away from the pain. Will be cheering them on though really, and just hope they continue to take steps in the right direction.

Some positives (and negatives) on the stats side. Would like to see stats such as (to name a few)... effective tackles, effective clearances, hit outs to advantage, play on %, etc but don't have access to them...anyone have that here??:

Rankings

Contested possessions: Demons 15th / Hawks 14th (Positive? lol)

Uncontested possessions: Demons 18th / Hawks 7th (i think that might be a negative!)

Disposal Efficiency: Demons 18th / Hawks 3rd (oops)

Contested Marks: Demons 4th / Hawks 14th (Yahoo!)

Clearances: Demons 11th / Hawks 18th (given our disposal efficiency i reckon we need to see "effective clearances" :wacko: , still a win is a win i guess)

Tackles: Demons 10th / Hawks 4th (i'd rather see effective tackles)

Goal Accuracy: Demons 7th / Hawks 9th (if we can only deliver accurately i50 and get it in there enough times! Woot woot)

Entries inside 50: Demons 17th / Hawks 7th

Rebound from defensive 50: Demons 2nd / Hawks 13th (the pressure being brought on our defense might pay off big time later i hope...doing a pretty good job given how often it's coming in atm).

Yeah its a worry when Neeld says that he couldnt fault the effort yet we still loose by 40 points.

Until the MFC welcome pressure and thrive on it-LOOK FOR IT. our situation against hawthorn & other top sides will not change.

Strangely, I've had the 1960's hit 'Friday on my Mind' by the Easybeats going around in my head ever since I first read the title of this thread several days ago ................ but it couldn't possibly be a portent of events at the G on Friday night, could it?

Sure hope so DOF. the only way this club will survive is to embrace pressure.

Northey was so f$&@'in close to doing it.

I heard a Luke Hodge grab this morning. Hawthorn have loved pressure since John Kennedy. It is there backbone.

So now just watch us play the Hawks back into the kind of form that will see them go on to improve those areas in which they are currently deficient.

    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.

    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
