Our combined tally of 7 votes trails Daniel Hannebery by only 6 votes. It could still be a close finish.

Depressing to relive some of the performances, I'd almost blocked out how bad we were this year!

Forget everything, Patrick Dangerfield for the win. He's already half drunk and his speech would be joyful. Go Paddy!

I was so happy for Viney to get 2 votes.

Congrats to ablett. Thankgod Swan didnt win. Im not sure who drank more, him or his gf.

By the way superstar moloney only got 2 votes. 1 was against us. Even Watts got more votes than him. Just saying

That would have been his old childhood sweety mate from Broady. She does handle a Crownie all right.

Probably been working on it since the early teens. A 3-vote performance.

Not only that I am sure I seen her open two crownies, one for herself and the other for swannie, with her teeth, then spit the tops onto the next table.

When Swan was closing in on the lead and they had the camera focused on him at his table, did anyone else see the hand come in from the right of screen with the word "setup" written on it in biro? Pretty funny I thought.

Which makes Jack the 88th best player in the competition..!

Whoop Whoop!

Edit: If you ignore the 24 players rendered ineligible... i.e. he's actually 112th best player in league.

only Jones and Garland got invited. Trngove as skipper and the Rooster as new coach.

Nah, Howey was there. Or at least his missus was.. :blink:

One of my favourite parts of the night was seeing Fred Goldsmith, the oldest living and only defender to win it. I live in hope that they'll one day amend the voting system to duly reward the key position players. Tom Lynch kicked 10 goals in a game and still couldn't manage to get the 3 votes ffs. It's a disgrace.

I reckon it was a close call on that, although it's not every day a player snags ten (although it was against GWS).

3 Votes - Danger booted 4 goals, 28 touches and 9 marks

2 Votes - Lynch 10 goals, 21 disposals and 11 marks

1 Vote - Thompson 0 goals, 32 disposals and 8 marks

True, I watched the game and Danger was awesome (against GWS), but unless the guy who polls 3 votes kicks 11 goals, 10 goals gets you the 3 votes, surely. Lynch was superb that day. Robbed in my book, and indicative of the umps general favouritism.

    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
