Recommended Posts

Finally get to rejoice now all have gone out.

So happy to be wrong. Impressive effort all around Dees, players, coaches all.

Had to look at the scores more than twice.

Well done Dees....lets keep it up.

Pleasantly gobsmacked :)

Stretch is slowly becoming a weapon. He looks really flashy and evasive and he's not a bad kick either.

Dunn played perhaps his best game ever.

Credit to Dawes, even though he looked a bit proppy he certainly contributed for forward pressure and he held on to a couple of good marks, which is all he needs to do.

Also, one of the biggest surprises was Gawn and Spencer's pairing. Spencer wasn't amazing like Gawn, but he didn't lower his colours or look lost out there

Last week was more furious with the players than I have been for years. This week, they can get stuffed because it's the first time I've missed a Vic game I could have been at in years - so of course we won!!!

Brayshaw is a complete footballer. Amazing.

We kicked a big score but we won the game in defence - which shows what the best Paul Roos coached side can do.

Best thing is there's still plenty of improvement and blokes to come back in!

Still pinching myself!

I can't f-ing wait to play Carlton if we keep this brand of footy up. Nothing bruise free about it. I hope when we play the lions that Viney and co hammer that [censored] Mitch Robinson.

We are finally a hard at it team!

I went to create the "Changes for Next Week" thread and couldn't do it. Need to let this one settle a bit before I start thinking about which 1-3 players will be very stiff (depending on Garland and vandenBerg with Hogan a given).

I'm still relatively speechless. I never thought before the game it was going to be some sort of run of the mill belting like many were posting, and I knew we had the midfield cattle to compete there, but I never in a million years could have foreseen us kicking 113 points, especially given Dawes didn't kick one.

I haven't been able to watch anything except the highlights, but from what I was able to glean off patches on the radio and the articles written so far, as well as the stats, our midfield is finally coming together. Gawn's presence is no coincidence to this, I'm sure, and we've now got all of Jones, Vince, Viney and Tyson playing together at once. Then when you have a 22 playing together, you can get the job done anywhere, anytime.

The future is bright, and today showed that the present (i.e. 2015) does not have to be the dull result last week suggested.

I wonder if we may have 'turned a corner' today?

The best thing was that with our midfield so on top, our makeshift forward line managed to function as well. Spencer, Gawn, ANB and Matt Jones all made very valuable contributions in addition to the "genuine" forwards in Dawes and Garlett. The question on everyone's lips before the game was, "how are we going to score?", and in the end we did it more easily than we have all year.

The midfield is everything really.

Made it home, good to see a lot less pessimism on the boards than before the game. Fantastic game to watch and great to see a good turn out of Dees supporters down the highway, bearing in mind 28.000 was the biggest attendance at KP this season, sure Enright would account for a few more Cats fans but there was a good smattering of Red and Blue around the ground from the Players stand to the Gary Ablett Terrace. I'm sick of the BS "they only let 200 of us in" whenever we play there. That was a load of crap Sam Newman got stuck into us about over 10 years ago and it's stuck - the facilities then were absolute crap, unlike now,

We'll see a few more wins this year, we need to remember we got smashed by Fremantle, Sydney and Hawthorn and were in winnable positions in other losses. These wins are no longer upsets.

Ignore the ridiculous headline.

Check where ANB comes from in this clip. He's next to Lumumba when he kicks. Then next to Jones when he kicks. Then gets the jo the goose. Fantastic.

Awesome display of hard gut running by ANB looking fwd to seeing 200 games of the same.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
