Round 2 - 3 of our NAB Cup games not televised

It just came to my attention that more than likely this week will be our only game on TV this NAB Cup campaign unless we make the grand final. In both round 2 and 3, we are playing in rural areas and Foxtel are not covering them.

Just thought I would let every one know who did not know already.

Very disappointing but guess that's the life of a Dee supporter.

At the end of 2012 season we were irrelevent to the competition.

Only by winning games during 2013 will we prove to be otherwise.

Start winning games and the world opens up until then we have no choice but to endure this crap position we find ourselves in.

You're being a bit sensationalist, aren't you OD?

Yes, a poor 2012, but this is purely based on a budgetary decisions made by Foxtel.

There are plenty of other games not covered, one that includes last year's premiers.

You mean we were relevant in 2012 jr?

Have you forgotten how many games we lost by 8+ goals.

How many games were over at quarter time.

We had one genuine win all season.

Yes not all games will be covered but the majority will be sides like us that don't rate.

On a different note the march 9 match v st Kilda at Casey we should try to make a massive turnout. Show Casey that we (the entire club) are embracing the area as a part of us.

I agree. I like watching up close at Casey and having a stubby. You can't beat it. We should get a demonland marquee happening. Have some beers and anyone with some differences on here can sort it out on the field for half time entertainment.

I'd jump in at half time but I don't have a problem with anyone on here. Even if I did I start off well but finish very poorly and then CW will be all over it. I can't handle another investigation. Could we get a marquee and name it "the vault"?

I acknowledged we were terrible....but do you really think they want to send a commentary to Renmark? Or Alice Springs?

I was a decision made on budgets, not on watchability.

A live stream or at least a radio call would be nice, but I really don't expect that any game played in Renmark will ever get a run on TV.

Was it Ballarat where they had that North game last year that Foxtel tried to broadcast and ended up delivering silence for the first quarter? No wonder they've decided it's not worth their while to go to the country.

    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
