I want to talk everyone up, Lumumba hogan Tyson Viney Brayshaw Vandenberg Garlett garland McDonald great effort boys

If the advantage was allowed for Hogan, when Brayshaw ran into an open goal; and Frost capabilities on one of his two missed opportunities, then all 7 peoples who debuted for Melbourne today would of scored a goal. Compare that to last year.

Seems Jack Viney and Col Garland aren't playing for their careers after all.

Great to watch, been getting up at 3am for round 1 each year for the last 5 years (UK) finally worth it!

You too eh ... but you should move across the water, we only have to get up at 4 am.

A great day. So this is what it feels like to support a football team. A real football team.

Gee the new guys were good. Garlett could've kicked 5, Brayshaw lays 9 tackles, Jesse takes 4 contested grabs kicks 2 and split a pack to pieces resulting in a goal, Lamumbas goal couldn't have come at a better time, Newton snagged a couple, Frosty was solid and Vandenberg looks an inspired rookie pickup. I think the recruiting staff deserve a few votes today.

I would think about getting a white stick and a dog.

I disagree but wont make it personal

The guy who plays the man not the ball is usually the coward

Great start

wow just got home from the game. Firstly we have actually recruited players that can play.

Vandenberg and Newton. wow they just have no fear and go straight foe the ball.

Gartlett its so nice to see a flashy player put on a lot of defensive pressure. Missed some easy shots but impressed today.

Hogan finally saw what we already know. Just splits packs and kicked that important goal and he will be great

Watts just keep him forward every week. Rarely wastes the ball when he has it. Great game

Jamar was awesome in the ruck I thought. Hammered smith and did some great taps

Viney was great on ablett

Tommy Mac wow fantastic and if he could really kick he'd be even better. Dunn was great and today I forgot we even lost frawley.

Brayshaw just through himself in and layed some great tackles. so good to see someone do the number 10 justice.

Im just stoked for the boys and it was just a great atmosphere and the unveiling of the Robbie Flower win was a great touch.

That fumble by Ablett in the GOAL square in the last was priceless.

You can put that down to Jack Viney working on Abletts shoulder for the previous 3 and a half quarters. By that stage Ablett wasn't keen, or perhaps, even able to move his left arm hence the fumble

No voice left. For good reason this time.

What a performance. What a day.

Me neither P-man, and I was watching it on TV from 650 kms away.

I did a big "hoooooooray" in my living room along with everyone at the ground. I think my family thought I was a goose, but oh well.

You and me both champ. I'll be there in full voice next week when we go 2-0.

What a great all round performance. Not just the win, but the way they played.

Still buzzing. Phone has gone off. The amber fluid will flow tonight.

Key moment for me was when Kent's teammates stood up and remonstrated when he got clobbered. That tells us soo much about whats to come for this mob. Oh happy day !!!!!!!

If not gone the 'mental demons' and 'loser' mindset have faded. Largely due to only 7 players on the field today were there in our darkest hour of the 186 game.

Today we learnt how to win again! ;)

    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.
