wonder if we would have one that if we didnt play Gawn and Spencer

Spencer certainly helped Gawn and they both did enough forward, but you'd think ideally against such a non ruck of Walker than Dawes could've held his own and Hogan would've given us even more up forward. But the 2 rucks brought dominance at the contest and did enough forward to make it work. We all know the answer is a good forward/ruck player who can legitimately play 30% in the ruck to give Gawn a chop out and still be useful forward. In the mean time its about picking the 3 or 4 who actually bring the most competitive output.

Do we change the team for WCE

Who can we look forward to coming back?

Newton?

Fitzpatrick?

Garland?

Vandenburg?

Frost 4 weeks (Brisbane?)

Salem 4 weeks (Brisbane?)

Hunt 4 weeks

Kent 6 weeks

Grimes 8 weeks

Pedersen season

Petracca season

Trengove season

?

Would like Frost, Salem and Kent to hurry up!

I'm almost inclined to say no changes to the side for the West Coast game. Lets give the players a reason to drop them, plus the game is in Darwin so we can bring in fresh players for Essendon the week after.

Amazing win. I'm in total shock.

I think we all are Jaded. I'm doubly happy though. I missed on putting my tipping in on time. (Forgot the bloody Thursday game). They gave me the AWAY teams and I scored just as well as my original tips. The big bonus was getting the mighty Demons right! Gained on most rivals here.

What about Vince's Left foot goal from a long way out?

Yeah, on fox, sorry mate, should have said.

And I'm taping it to watch it numerous times.

If you've got a Plasma you can pause it at the moment we win and if you leave it long enough the image should burn into the screen.

Absolute ecstacy from our wonderful warrior skipper. Gee, has he earned this moment.

Well said Bobby

This bloke has carried a heavy weight for a mighty long time and done us proud through so much woe.

Great to see him lapping it up. Deserves every accolade and back slap from all at the club!

Well done skipper!

Selwood and Johnson are just are pair of whining little hoes who like to [censored] and question every decision.

Despite umpire 28 being a complete fkn suck again, we beat them in front of their own plebians in that backwater hole.

Hopefully no more injuries.

If fit Vanders should come in tho - Riley or bail out.

Whoops forgot Hogan.

Hogan has to come in - we got lucky today up forward cant rely on Garlet to kick 4 and AND 3

We played man on man. We beat them man on man. We cracked in and ran harder then they did. Our leaders led. Our young guys showed they refuse to be tainted by years passed. Our NQR players played their role and kept their ball handling simple.

Still waiting for us to find a way to lose even though the game has been over for 30 minutes.

So why not play man on man every week whats the problem with that?

    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.
