Did the Essendon runners have water bottles or IV drips?

We win!

Cheers to all

Thanks to organisers

Clearly with a settled coaching set up and without recourse to any....supplemental ingredients other than guts and determination we prevailed

Good question, have we ever been beaten Rollo ?

Never in doubt and well done to all concerned.

Cheers, gsmith... :wub:

! think we have now won 13 out of 14...

We lost to sainsational about 6 years ago when we turned up with 11 players...

that's when we decided to get organised...

bomberblitz have copied our methods, so I expect their first win against us can't be far away...

Ugly, congested game on a small oval with no goal posts.

Credit to ucanchoose for dealing with each problem as it arose in his first game as organiser.

I am so happy he stepped up because it was way past time for me to pass the baton.

Credit to dinosaur rover for his inclusive coaching style, which had our blokes playing as a team by the last quarter.

The move of Leeroy and his mate to full forward in the last quarter was a match-winning move

IMO.

Credit to dazzledavey36 for his best on ground performance. It was a close call because we had so many other guys who could have won it.

Credit to our mid-field who gradually wore the talented bomberblitz guys down.

Steve the ruckman and the other guys pumped the ball into our forward line so many times in the last quarter, it would have been impossible to lose.

Credit to Wise, who played another great captain's game and is now our most-capped player (along with the Stynes Factor).

Credit to bomberblitz, who keep coming back at us, and have moved in a few short years from easybeats to respected opponents.

Happy to hear other people's views on the game.

Well done dees on another win

Pretty glad it was a competitive game this time

Steve the ruckman was best on for you guys imo although the dazzle was very good too.... when Leeroy absolutely smashed me in the middle wasn't exactly pleasant lol

Can't wait for the next one!

Very competitive game, and I still think the move to a smaller ground was deliberate as it threw us out a bit and fell straight I to their hands.

I think every player had a good highlight (or lowlight in bennys instance with 9 shots at goal for 12 points). Always good to see varying levels of footy experience "gel" so well.

Can't wait o next time.

Moving the ground came straight from the Olympic park curators mate..... Threatened us with paying for any damage caused to the turf

Great game and well done to everyone playing. Well done to the Bomber boys who continue to want to have a match every year. Keeps it alive and well.

Its starting to become a fiece rivalry now between the two teams.

Its gonna take me another two months to rehab this knee again. My left one is absolutely shot now.....

Now I know why the old fells complain and whinge lol

If anyone can Remember (or have them written) all the scores and opposition we have played (and locations) wouldn't mind seeing the evolution of the team and Compitition, plus I can't for life of me remember which I have been involved with over the 7-8 years. (2 vic park, 2 Olympic? 2 goschs and todays 5c piece)

A overview would be really great after this has begun to thrive.

That ground really was by far the smallest I have ever played on. Talk about stoppages and congestion wowee!

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
