I'm surprised you haven't read about them on here as they've been mentioned hundreds of times.

The 'rumour' is that we wanted to draft Wines and Neeld over ruled the scouting team and demanded that we take Toumpas instead.

My bad, I thought there was something new.

Pretty safe to say my $100 at $6 was a good bet. Im only thousands in the negative now.

Finished the replay my take on our players: Brayshaw: Poor bloke, hopefully not serious. Hogan: Delivery was a bit sloppy at times but showed that he is set for a big year. Looks noticeably

I just read this thread from beginning to end, and it's fantastic. It has ups, downs, twists, anger, humour and a very satisfying ending...where can I buy the movie rights?

credibility

Unless somebody posts and is either Jason Taylor, Todd Viney or Kelly O'Donnell then whatever is said is heresay, we are all entitled to post heresay, whether it is more or less credible than another poster......a drovers dog could provide the good oil on recruiting these days, it is all over the media before the fact

Now moving right along to today's game which starts in little more than an hour, I must say that I'm not really hyped up for the game yet.

Is there anyone out there at Playford Dead or Alive Oval who can paint a picture of what's happening there? 

How's the atmospherics? Is the crowd building up, are the food vendors trading well? How far is the ground from the Barossa Valley?

So yes, our midfield is light but at some point our younger players need to standup and today is a perfect opportunity.

I reckon the Dee's will win, but if they don't I still think they'll show enough to suggest that we'll be alright this year.

A win is not important today, it is an opportunity for the players to show Roos and Goodwin we are on the right path, and if they do, what tweaks need to be done before the start of the season proper, season proper I haven't missed a home game for 7 years, but NAB Challenge, highlights and reports will do me.....(Geelong must be really concerned for the season ahead losing to the Pies yesterday)

Anyone else getting technical error on the app 

There's an update available as there was a glitch with the video - I updated this morning on iPad and iPhone so hoping all bases are covered!

This club is only on the right path when it starts winning. 

A win is IMPORTANT today

as it is next week.

I don't believe in honourable losses myself, they are just losses, but there is no 4 points on the line today, I just want to read/watch that the team performed in a competitive manner and took the game to Port, if we win good.....if we don't meh NAB Challenge practice game....you did read the reports from the 20/20 game at Simmonds last night

    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.
