I don't know why but I'm really looking forward to the prospect of what Matt Jones will bring to the team. From what I've read he has the speed and movement, decent height and his body is there abouts with at least another month to go.

We really need to have that type of player on the park.

I know some that have been well wide of the mark and often confuse fact with opinion. Sorry to jump at you on this one 'WYL' but in the last few months I've heard so much BS from 'someone in the know'. I'm happy your source is reliable and positive about the future, we should all be.

Be postive on this one rjay.

I think we have some really good recruits. Bargains shall we say.

James Magner seems to have been left out of 2013 team discussions. He was a shining light in the first 4 rounds, but admits himself that he was really feeling it and getting light tags. By the end of round 7, he said his body was stuffed.

If you have read his tweets, he has not stopped training even over the break. With his first AFL pre-season, who knows what to expect.

People talk about his skills. I suggest viewing his Sandringham youtube highlights, might change your mind.

Hurrah a thread that is not about you know what.

I agree H-T there is much to like about the changes

It will be very interesting to see how they pan out.

A number you have listed are kids and is doubtful they will be world betters this year but also hard to see them being worse than the ones that have left.

I still believe we have only a mid level list It is going to take more than one year to turn us into a top eight side.

Please excuse me for a little negativity but based on decades of false dawns I am keeping my cheering at a low level till April.

Rev were are you when i need you?

Still on holidays?

Just got back tonight from the land of two-headed tree choppers. I was looking to see if I could unearth another Jeremy Howe.

C'mon Old Dee, let yourself go. This is going to be our best year in a long, long time. Be not pessimistic, for the optimistic shall inherit the flag.

Praise the lord, the angels are lining up to spread glory on our club. Those who oppose us will be smote by a mighty sword from on high. Those who lack faith will be turned into Collingwood supporters. Those who doubt will be banished to the desert of GWS. The AFL will be swallowed by a sea of legal woes as they try to defend their abject stupidity. A perfect storm is brewing my friend.

Hallelujah brother! 0ur time is nigh. 2013 will see us silence the critics and restore our lost pride. 2014 will see us resume our position as the premier club in this hallowed competition. Bring it on.

Praise be to Neeld. Go Dees!

How's that Old Dee? Are you uplifted?

Interesting to see that so many of the de-listed players (or those who chose to leave) were slow. Rivers, Moloney, Bate etc... Blease, Jetta, Nicho, Toumpas, Watts, McDonald are quick. Am I able to expect pace from the Dees in 2013?

I have seen too many January's that made me feel good about large, bronzed men looking like champions in the pre season. I just can't dance to this music yet. Last year hurt me bad, so I will wait at least until the NAB cup finishes before I commit to any sense of expectation.

It has been a huge turnover this summer, but I am looking forward to Jetta, Tynan and Taggert. These three are full of genuine potential and have seen at least 2 pre seasons.

    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
