If you're as tired as I am of the negativity and pessimism of some on this forum join me in focusing on the positives from this year. New coach with a single-minded approach to changing the cultur

Good call. Clark, Watts and Jones to me are our three biggest shining lights of the year. Clark is an out-and-out star. People scoff when I say he was in AA form, but he was. The problem is that peo

Being a optimist I can see T.Mac being a all australian this year. A couple of scalps (Both Riewoldt's) and he is sure to be considered. Unlike the midfield which is stacked full of A grade players the backline hasn't as many.

Hey old dee, it's going to be a great year.

We will win both games and we'll go on to win many more.

The AFL (Abject Failures Limited) and the [censored] running it will be shown up at some stage this year for the fools they are.

The tide of public opinion will turn our way and we will be seen as hardworking underdogs who deserve the respect of the football world.

Oh it's going to be a glorious year.

Go DEES!

Toumpas will be a star. Forgive me for the massive generalization, but we have often previously recruited blokes who lack a winners arrogance. Ie Cale Morton.

This bloke screams out 'winner'. Hogans the same. Sometimes it just goes beyond draft camps. It's for this reason, I'm also wrapped to have Viney.

Is now a good time to bring this thread back?

I would expect there will be all sorts of hopes and dreams bubbling around out there. Let's share them here, free of the negative Nellies.

I'm dreaming of Queen's Birthday 2014. 90,000 in attendance 45,000 of them in red and blue. What a magnificent sight to see. Imagine being able to wear the scarf with pride as we head out of the G with the song ringing in our ears.

It's going to be a Grand Old Flag once more!

GO DEES!

I was just wondering where you were Reverend.

Even I share you enthusiasm today mate.

Can I go to the grave knowing we are competitive once again?

Absolutely OD, but nobody's going anywhere until we win a flag.

Paul Roos will be talking to his mate, GOD, and making sure that there will be no loyal supporters taken until the flag flies over the G again.

Praise the Lord - we are being led from the desert to the promised land.

Only if you want to see the next five premierships! Would three in a row put a spring in your step and shake off the infirmities? Bloody hell, one would give me another ten years, I reckon. Three in a row would see me almost immortal.

GO DEES!

Finally getting games into a few youngsters who've had serious injuries.

Young leaders (I seem to be in the minority on this but the sheer lack of leadership in recent years is being addressed by a new, young group. It'll take time, but they'll be there when it matters).

Fitzy, Big Max, Hoges and the star studded forward line.

While we are at it, why don't we get moloney back and right the wrong with Ollie Wines

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
