It's funny, with 3 minutes to go I still thought we'd lose. I had forgotten how to think we might win. My highlights: Winning. Carlton losing. Jack Viney. He was as elusive as Cyril at times wh

Don't try and enjoy the smell of our win. You go back to Punt road and burn some membership cards.

Last week I asked why I should watch. Thanks for the resounding answer.

The fact Nathan Jones went head to head with media love child Marc Murphy and destroyed him brings a tear to my eye.

Jake the Snake gave Wanock a bath (surely he is bordering on worst player in the comp).

Chris Dawes provided so much structure, direction and assistance.

Well done.

Just looked at the stats. Chris Dawes must have played the best 8 disposal game I have seen. Provided a consistent target, was never out marked, always bought the ball down front and centre at worst. We looked so much better with him there, not to mention Chip had a bit more freedom to have a blinder.

Amazing feeling.

Winning against anyone is great. But beating Carlton, and Malthouse, is just another level. Malthouse clearly dropped Waite and Garlett because he thought this was the week he could get away with it - EAD Mick.

And as for us - we weren't great, but we were a lot better, and there is a future there to be seen.

JKH has silken hands, his touch is superb. Dawes changes everything for us, thought he was grand. Cross was outstanding too.

We took a big step forward today. And we took it right on Carlton's head. Perfect.

... and that's why Bail is in the team! M. Jones best game in the red & blue too.

Dawes sinking 'em from outside 50, Spencer after a dismal start turning it around, Frawley and his 100 marks, Cross, Vinces crafty kick coming off HBF, JKH run down tackle in first quarter, Howes reversie into the pack, Viney, even Pedo's late pocket goal.. onya fellas!

Our first win against Carlton since The Kreuzer Cup, 2007. Would love to know the average losing margin in that time too. They're bad, but we really should enjoy this.

53 points.

Massive effort by the lads today to get the W.

So all those people saying we wouldn't win a game this year will be feelin like muppets right now (and rightfully so). Dawes was so important today, but it's funny it's not totally reflected in the stats. The two goals he kicked were absolute team lifters and he played a part in several other goals. But the big thing was all of a sudden the players moved it quickly to a target and although he didn't take the grab every time he made sure it came to ground almost every time and in fact his mere presence caused the blues players concerns.

A good team effort today well rewarded.

Agreed. He made such an enormous difference. We looked up and saw him and we had the confidence to put it in front of him. He had the guts and determination to make a contest even when he was double manned.

His two goals were immense from outside 50. Absolutely immense.

We didn't over posses it today, we missed a few sitters and gave away a couple of easy goals so I'm really happy with carlton never actually being in the game.

I hope Mitch Clark watched on and had a smile seeing his mates get a win.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
