dunno, WJ, about best player...

it was such an even performance...

tassie dee, nat and their mates saved us from embarassment by playing their hearts out for the pies in game 3 to allow us to win the day...

dazzledavey36 played only one game, but excelled in that game...

leeroy could only show flashes of what he is capable of, because he was as sick as a dog...

rollo2 was everywhere but missed nearly every shot on goal...

cords1 was consistently good for us all day, and did not miss his only shot on goal...

the passenger was one of our best ( should change his site name to "the contributor")...

I could go on...

in the final analysis, I would cast my votes for the passenger and cords1 and leeroy....

but I was umpiring in goals all day, so I missed what you saw on the backline...

I suggest you consult george on the outer, biffen and supermercado and make a decision...

I will go along with your decision...

Full time - Melbourne 10.3.63 to Essendon 4.1.25. Match against pies now in progress. Some bikies are waiting to play a game after, so if we all die carry on in our names.

GENERATIONAL CHANGE by Rollo Sorry this is so late but, probably like Whispering Jack, I am under siege at work. Well, bomberblitz are the second-best forum footy team. But we beat them easily. Lot

Well done to all involved.Not a clean sweep as per usual,but none-the-less, a good result achieved.

I dont suppose anyone was /is aware that 'barty' was on a 'get even' mission. The MFC players are currently picking holes in most of our posters on here. Yep,pay back is a [censored].

Poster A = Can't spell,should be moved on

Poster B -= Couldnt put more than 2 words together,traded to anywhere but cant stay here

Poster C= Has no idea how a modern forum works.Banish forever

etc etc etc

Perhaps in time the forum footy team will come to be known as the Melbouren Forths.

Forgone, forlong,forthright,and fore-mentioned.

I'd like to know how Bartram knew about the game being played, inside tipoff ?,surely didnt read about it on here.

Whatever it was, it was great he gave up some of his time,to show some support and interest. Who knows

he might have picked up a few pointers on improving his game. I'd be guessing ,but run and spread wouldnt have been one of them ;)

Good to hear WJ. I'm confidently hoping that that Clint's new knee may just be the solution to his kicking and he will become an elite kick.

Clint Bartram, footballer. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Clint Bartram will be that man. Better than he was before. Better...stronger...faster.

new players are dsicouraged from reading on here, but Clint is close to 100 games...

he was sponsored here on demonland when he first joined the Club...

perhaps the simple answers are sometimes accurate...

Congrats guys! Like to pass on my apologies for non-attendance, I am in the middle of exams and hadn't actually been checking the boards but had the game down in my head as this Sunday, only just realised after a reference to the game on Demonology talked about it in past tense! Sorry and see you all for the next one

hey, stynes, you were sorely missed...

the russian stepped in as captain, and did a great job...

but we missed your run and carry in the midfield...

and you missed your chance to equal mickrocks' record for most games played...

next time the organiser might send you a pre-game reminder...

hopefully, the other forums will challenge us again in february...

regards,

rollo

Sorry Rollo. Distracted by having to do some work on a VCAT matter. You know what it's like.

And the winner is ... Leeroy, just ahead of Cords1.

Problem is we don't have a prize so what we need is a belated sponsor.

VCAT is for pussys...

I've been in the Supreme Court...

(found not guilty again)... :o

the prizes are the old iconic demonland/demonology badges presented to us by george on the outer... :wub:

we have enough to last until 2037...

hope we have a new coach and a new organiser by then... :)

I will deliver a badge to cords1 tomorrow, and will email leeroy to set up a meet...

thanks, jack...

regards,

rollo

When Clint came down to talk to the guys pre game none of us knew that his career was over although it was probably on the cards if his recovery turned out to be less than 100% successful. He gave it his best shot and in the end made the team decision to allow someone else to take the spot on the list that he would have occupied. In that respect his decision confirmed the worthiness of his appointment to the leadership group and reflected the message to our players that day about team effort.

We wish you well in your future Clint - doing import/export with China is going to be just as tough a gig as running out on the footy field. Work hard and you'll be a success and please come down to help the team when we next play forum footy.

    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
