All the best rjay and family: I hope you get some time to remember a good woman with lots of fond memories.

For Christmas at our place we always got our kids a major gift, a minor gift, and a tiny little token thing. So -

Big gift. Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Hawthorn to be the bottom four teams for 20 years. Let me sit back and watch them become the Dees, Doggies, Lions and Saints of the 70's & 80's. Hopefully, one of them would have to merge or relocate to survive.

Minor gift. Footy Journalists begin to actually report on the GAME; not the club/AFL politics, not unimportant night habits of famous players, not giving opinion as if it is fact, and actually not reporting rumour, speculation, and social media fairy-floss. Just report on the best game in the world.

Token gift. For James Hird to travel to Darwin for holiday, and for Matty Whelan to line him up in a shopping centre and lay him out just like that great bump in the Elimination final in 2006.

Condolences rjay. Hope you enjoy the festive season even during this difficult time.

All I want for Christmas is to get through one more week of work hell, go on holidays, find millions of dollars while I'm in the US and then proceed to tell my bosses to go to hell. Not a lot to ask really.

Mine would be for Demonland to bring back the Like Button. As this post would possibly get my biggest like of 2013.

Merry Xmas to all of us mad enough to follow the MFC. Go Dee's.

Rjay, my condolences. Some Landers will be aware that my old man passed away this year and this is our first Christmas without him, so I know to some extent how you're feeling. Stay strong brother. All the best.

Thanks P-man. It will be a difficult Christmas for both of us, cheers mate.

So while we're on the subject of losing people, a very special supporter of the club who I have known since my schooldays was tragically killed in a car accident last week. I didn't know her very well but she was an avid Demon fan and whenever we met the conversation would turn to our footy team.

If any of Miriam's family comes across this, please accept my condolences on your very sad loss and the same to all who have lost loved ones this year.

    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

    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.
