Mate I hope so

Saw some real commitment all over the ground in the last qtr from all the boys

Hopefully the boys can take some confidence from this

Terrible first 3 quarters, but I loved seeing the heart in the last quarter... it shows what we're capable of.

Even if it is GWS its great to be on the winning end of 12 goals in 1 qtr for once

Still a lot of hard work to do - I hope for some at the club it confirms that hard work will pay off

Yeah congratulations boys, you played 1 quarter of football.

FFS Stuie, they are going to be few and far between, just allow yourself a few hours of enjoying the win. Tomorrow we can conduct the post mortem of what occurred in the middle two quarters

I'm enjoying the win, and I hope we get some much needed confidence from it, but it just feels a little bit like wallpapering over the cracks you know? I hope it's a turning point, but the first 3 quarters tempered my hopes somewhat.

Mate spot on

No one thinks our problems are over now we won 1 game - just a relief and some pressure of the club and no embarrassment for us supporters

Lack of run and fading in the middle of the games are still big issures for whoever is coach

We can all hold our heads high tonight though after that last qtr (for a week at least)

Some would say sacking the coach was doing the same thing

Enjoy a win mate - next week I am sure we will be arguing again

I know what you say but we can address the bad tomorrow. Wins will be rare this year but living in Perth I go to work tomorrow after a Dees win and both WA sides losing, that will be even rarer!

Like WC last weekend against us?

FFS. No, we weren't perfect. But we still had a very good win.

WC had more than 1 good quarter against us, look at the stats, specifically the uncontested possessions in the first half.

Sure ... If you want to disregard the first 3 quarters then we might even make the finals.

Fair call mate

But enjoy that the boys could pull that out of the bag

People here are willing to bag the coach and the playing group for the losses - How about a little acknowledgement when they preform well?

No one thinks we are back - but [censored] me the boys and coaching staff showed some guts at 3 qtr time

We all know our spread sucks, and that's why we NEVER win the uncontested possession. To point to that as a sign that West Coast played great last week is pretty disingenuous.

Doesn't matter who they played today it was still the highest scoring quarter in the History of the football club. Conference is a weird thing, all of a sudden you believe. Take that to QLD next week and who knows we might just be 2 and 3

Confidence is everything in footy and these blokes have copped it from everyone over the past 3 weeks

It's easy to drop your head - it's a lot harder to come out and fight...

As i've said we are not out of the woods - 1 great qtr agains equally poor opposition is not proven success - but let's hope the boys can build 2 qtrs out of what they acheived out of the last qtr today

I didn't say they played great, I said they played well for more than 1 quarter.

Can't even enjoy it for 5 mins... Knobs.

Great effort to keep pushing and working, a long way to go but kept it up running out the game and smashed the last qtr.

Please be the start of some sort of turn around. I will not get my hopes up.

    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
