For all the complaints about salary cap concessions (are they still there?) it is truly amazing what they have done.

I heard ?Tadhg Kenelly talking last night about the "no [censored] policy" - if you have an ego, leave it at the door on arrival, or ship out. I too was thinking of #12&22 in particular and how they would either be transformed into stars, or disappear.

They have an uncanny ability to take rejected players from other clubs and transform them. How do they do it? It must be a lot more than money.

This team is truly battled hardened . Look at the the quality of the opposition in there last five games. Pies at home, Hawks away, Cats away, Crows away, Pies home.

They are certainly up for the contest. Don't expect them surrender without areal crack.

No only that, they have lost 2 of the best coaches in AFL (Roos & Lyons) and their fitness guru (Dave Misson) since 2005. Awesome perfomance for a Club in any sporting code. This Club has earnt the right to demand RESPECT. Not that they would they are very humble.

Didn't think I would feel like this but will be barracking for the swannies/bloods next Sat.

Hawthorn were our biggest nightmare in the 80s - can't stand them!

This is what I want to see happen.

1. Franklin kicks 1.7 and 3 out of bounds on the full.

2. He limits staring at himself on the big screen to 32 times max.

3. Clarko gets fined for putting holes in the wall and punching up a computer.

4. Cyril tries to chase down Jetta and does a hammy.

5. Kennedy wins the medal for BOG.

6. LRT kicks four.

If you've ever had to sit next to Hawks fans you'd understand why everyone should barrack for the Swans.

Round 22 at the G they were abusing their own team for not winning by enough.

Saturday they were calling for Buddy to be dropped....until he kicked the goal that seemed to seal it of course,then they just whined about the umpires.

I think they honestly believe that the games are won by supporters, not the players.

Having said that I confess to admiring Gibson, Sewell and Mitchell,while Buddy and Cyril are seriously exciting.

How dare you describe my boys in that way

You are an example of the riff raff that comprises your last placed club.

"We're a happy team at Hawthorn

We're the Mighty Fighting Hawks.

We love our Club, and we play to win,

Riding the bumps with a grin (at Hawthorn).

Come what may, you'll find us striving

Team work is the thing that talks,

One for all and all for one

Is the way we play at Hawthorn.

We are the Mighty Fighting Hawks."

Don't cry Jonesie

We will be up there in about 7 or 8 years time

( i Hope )

Your memory is better than mine

The only victory I can remember was back around 2004 when Neita was at full forward and Hawthorn were truely hopeless.

From memory it was just before AC took over or it may have been his first year.

Other than that they seem to have belted us every year for decades

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
