32,324 after round 1 last year. So in the past two weeks we have finally passed last year's tally. Another win against GWS and hopefully we'll get more of the unbelievers coming back to the fold with a nice boost to membership. Might yet crack the old record but 40,000 still seems like a big ask.

So our big Round 1 win only effectively secured us another 700 members, taking us up to half Richmond's membership numbers. Not good enough in my view and we should all be pressuring Dees followers into becoming Dees SUPPORTERS by joining up.

~2,000 in 2 weeks is good going. it wasnt looking like we'd make 35K a while back but now we should make 37K and maybe push 40K if we win a few more early. amazing what a win can achieve - there are a lot of dees fans (hiding) out there, the team just needs to throw them a bone

C'mon Deees fans. I've signed the five human beings in my family and the cat ( whose heart really belongs to Geelong). Get on board and back your team. Let the good times roll!!!!!!

I wouldn't expect that number to climb any more now :(

Might even start going the other say if they repeat today's effort !!

I'm guessing 34.5k is where it'll peak.

35k by round 1 was always a pipe-dream with two away games straight after round 1, and that Essendon loss.

A win against Richmond might jump things up but I think the club's peaked atm.

Well, praha and rpfc, it happened! Nineteen and the team should have a pleasant and productive phone-out on Monday and Tuesday, then!

This will probably be our last week to make a large improvement considering our draw over the next month.

If we can get to Freo like the Swans did in the 2nd half - we will be huge chance to knock them off.

We are nowhere near this team but if the conditions are right - and they are down...

100% effort is what we have seen in the 2 wins

Tackle hard & you can win

We are undefeated at the G this year. We can knock em off.

Yes and our last win was an away game for us. Keep this up and they may even award us a Friday night match next year, ironic since we are a metamorphous of the landlord.

if we cause an upset and finally get two in a row it may sway some of the fence sitters. And there are many of them.

I think a number are being swayed and will sign up before Sunday's game at the G.

Hogan-mania is helping too...

    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.
