- Luke Tapscott hobbles from the ground

- Christian Salem shows some class and kicks a goal

- Christian Salem takes a fine sliding mark in the pocket at the Monash Fwy end and then slots a classy goal - impressive!

- Chris Dawes repeats Christian Salem's effort with a sliding mark in the pocket, before converting - fine effort

I'm sitting next to Roosy as he's doing an interview at the Café ATM so I'm stickybeaking a little bit. He spoke of Michael Voss and his tenure a little bit which could make for interesting reading.

Hi all, just got back from the game. The weather was very blustery, but I was impressed with the level of skill. They did pretty much a full training session prior to the game started, so they were

First time I've been to pre season training this year so I'm probably not much of a judge. Fitzy looked super impressive, although his kicking technique still worries me. His marking has improved dra

Viney, Kent, Watts, Fitz, Byrnes, Gawn, Dawes, Hogan, Salem, Harmes, Hunt and Westrupp all playing their first game for the year. As was Tapscott, but he went off with an injured knee a few minutes in. Not sure if Riley is out there, but he was training with the main group before

Yeh, but what about his football.

I think you've hit on something here. Wattsy is indeed a good looking young fella and i wonder if the Watts haters (you know who you are) are actually repressing their attraction to him and rather than deal with it go the opposite way.

I'm sitting next to Roosy as he's doing an interview at the Café ATM so I'm stickybeaking a little bit. He spoke of Michael Voss and his tenure a little bit which could make for interesting reading.

Anyway...

It is perfect weather for the boys - it's freezing. Duffle coat represent because it's just too cold. Heck, maybe I'm going too far with the scarf but whatever.

A few of the Casey boys are here so I WON'T recognise everyone, damn it.

A lot of the group are playing a very amusing, highly entertaining game where they hold a ball in their hands with an additional ball coming in and they have to handball their ball away to a teammate before catching the ball that's approaching them, if you get my drift. It really is a laugh.

Teams:

White: Evans, Westrupp, Gawn, Trengove, Barry, Jetta, Blease, Hogan, Tapscott, Kent, Michie, McDonald, Spencer, Clisby, M Jones, Strauss.

Blue: Pedersen, Toumpas, Cross, Dunn, McKenzie, Frawley, Salem, JKH, Hunt, Grimes, Riley, Viney, Terlich, Nicholson, Byrnes, Tyson, Howe, King, Georgiou, Watts, Harmes, Vince, Dawes, N Jones, Bail, Fitzpatrick.

This along with the Casey players I mentioned before. More in white than blue, looking at those sides blue have a far far stronger side on paper.

Clark, Garland and Jamar doing rehab. Fitzy walking laps with Gawn.

Few stretches, runthroughs etc, short kicks too.

A very solid crowd coming down for a look.

Brr.

Ruckmen not doing short kicks except for Spencer which is VERY understandable.

Few short handballs now. Short kicks and a bit of 'groundball' as they call it. Casey boys are attacking it at 100k an hour which is good to see. They too want to show their worth.

Another drill, down the line kicks, hands and all.

Don't mind the look of Pedo at all. He's looking good.

'Turn and go' encouraged. We saw this at times on Friday night.

Brand new drill I haven't seen before. Kick from a pocket with three blokes running up through the corridor to deliver inside 50 at the other end.

More drills. To quote Millhouse: 'When are they getting to the fireworks factory???'

Proper umpires doing this intraclub, although when Matthew Nicholls is one of those umpires 'proper' is a very loose term.

Mammoth, mammoth, mammoth crowd here at Gosch's. Two/three deep in some places. We almost need a footy special from Richmond the crowd's that big.

More full grounder drills. The same as what we've done all pre season, think the crowd just want the game to get going.

IT'S HAPPENINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

THE INTRACLUB

Few senior blokes leaving. Jones, Toumpas, Dunn, Pedersen, McKenzie, Riley, Frawley, Howe, Vince etc. Doing some sprinting.

Quarter 1

Viv Michie on the burst, winning the first clearance.

Already a goal to white and it's one of the Casey boys.

White 1.0 (6) Blue 0.0 (0)

With the omissions the intraclub is better for it. Blue inside 50 now. Holding the ball against one of the Casey boys though.

Fitz with the dukes up and takes an uncontested mark. One behind.

White 1.0 (6) Blue 0.1 (1)

Goes down the ground eventually and big Max (Gawn) takes a pack mark. One behind.

White 1.1 (7) Blue 0.1 (1)

Although Blue progress 60m down White wins it back and Gawn takes it on the lead again and goals.

White 2.1 (13) Blue 0.1 (1)

From the clearance Tappy goes down and cannot put weight on his right ankle initially. Ouch. He walks off slowly.

Max Gawn with his third mark inside 50. Misses the lot but doesn't make the distance.

A Casey bloke hits the post.

White 2.2 (14) Blue 0.1 (1)

Blue goes coast-to-coast very quickly through Tyson and Salem kicks a goal much in the same vein as Frank Lampard would.

White 2.2 (14) Blue 1.1 (7)

Jack Watts with the clearance.

Inside 50, Dawes gets a bit of a cheap free after a push from McDonald. Dawes goals.

White 2.2 (14) Blue 2.1 (13)

Ball movement both sides quicker now. Watts looks like he's playing as that quarterback role. No score for the reminder of the quarter and it's quarter time.

Quarter 2

King's getting monstered by Spencer. Imagine him against Naitanui.

Viney giving out don't argues at will. Loving it.

Salem with a mark inside 50. Goal.

Blue 3.1 (19) White 2.2 (14)

Tyson roving a Spencer hit, loving it.

Westrupp shows some foot candy but gets cleaned up by JKH! Wow.

Dawes takes a nice mark on the dive. Goals from 45 out on the boundary.

Blue 4.1 (25) White 2.2 (14)

Blue on top now.

Byrnes with a set shot, misses everything but Fitz takes a mark and goals.

Blue 5.1 (31) White 2.2 (14)

Another F50 from Blue. They've taken over.

Dom Tyson reading hitouts, Wattsy getting a fair bit of it. I'm liking this midfield setup.

Something to warm the hearts of opposition fans. Watts with an intercept mark.

King with a mark inside 50. Goal.

Blue 6.1 (37) White 2.2 (14)

Terls out the middle to Fitz but Fitz screws the kick inside 50 and turns it over.

SPENCER HITS A TARGET to Hogan, who kicks short to Trengove. Goal.

Blue 6.1 (37) White 3.2 (20)

Half Time.

Quarter 3

Spencer grabbing it out the ruck haha.

Salem looking alright once again.

Possession footy from Blue as we've seen on Friday night.

Kent out on the full.

Boys on the sideline willing Kingy on haha.

Tyson turns everyone inside out and nearly nails goal of the day.

Blue 6.2 (38) White 3.2 (20)

Fitz takes a mark to the delight of Jonesy and the boys!!! It's a (very questionable) goal.

Blue 7.2 (44) White 3.2 (20)

Blue killing it. A rushed behind again.

Blue 7.3 (45) White 3.2 (20)

There's another shot which hits the post as I type.

Blue 7.4 (46) White 3.2 (20)

Bit of contested ball, in dispute.

Hogan eventually takes a mark, shot at goal, just doesn't make the distance.

Blue 7.4 (46) White 3.3 (21)

Low scoring quarter which ends with the scoreline.

Dawes is sitting out, a bit of a massage on his calf. Hope it's not serious.

Game over by the looks of things.

Update: Dawes has ice on his left calf, not sure of the severity but he looks pretty uncomfortable on the sideline.

Geez it would be nice for him to have a run INJURY FREE.

    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
