Recommended Posts

Is anyone elses head spinning?  Im trying to wrap my head around the awesomeness of what I just witnessed and the fact we have won 2 in a row and we arent a basket case any more and have an insane amount of talent and toughness

This may take some time to process

I fear you are right. Though how a deliberate foul act by Rance can be the same penalty as what Viney did, only the AFL and its stooges can say.

Ranges will get 1, and they can't give Viney the same so he'll probably get nothing. 

I'd be more worried aboutVince's short elbow to the head..

This is unacceptable and Paul Roo's needs to hand over the reigns NOW! How dare he ruin our records that we hold dear.... winning two on the trot is just not on.

I feel strange and don't know how to handle this situation... My dog is behaving oddly and is waiting for my normal end of weekend tourettes. Jeezus!

And Jack Viney get 3 votes for beaning Rance!

Go Dees!

Richmond fans saying he often thumps the ground in frustration... clutching at straws replay shows him looking directly at his head. What a scum bag, why the sympathy for him? I don't know Rance's history.. 

I just read that one.  Classic.

My son has noticed that Rance sometimes punches the ground when the opposition takes a mark on him. If you notice, he was not looking at Watts when he did it. Just wondering perhaps he didn't realise Watt's head was there as he slid over him. Totally out of character, that is why I suggest this even though it seems far fetched.

Rance = Rancid. Sniping reminiscent of Jimmy O'Dea on John Greening. 

 I think I need to you pull you up on that one. Rance was dumb and he will get a little time but he was not thumped behind play and put into a coma.

I'm liking the direction the game seems to be taking. A fair dose of mongrel exhibited amongst the play to go with the new game style.

If the AFL want to preserve the game, please don't sanitise it any further.

The balance is currently about right.

Happy with that.  If we can play like this all year we'll win more often than not.  The top teams will still have us, but we're right in the mix for the middle tier 

I will say I think Viney has just made a spot in the side for Petracca next week.  I can see he and Rance both going for a week. 

RUBBISH wasn't even a free kick

Too hard at the man. Too hard on the spread. We attacked with vigour from half back and we now have players capable of doing it who will only get better. They came at us multiple times sometimes due to our turnovers but we composed and bounced back each time.  Dom Tyson best game in a long time. Kent now starting to show what he can do over a game rather than cameos. The beauty is we won well and controlled the game and have much more improvement that will come with development and confidence even within is year.

Hogan with no goals but he took ten awesome marks

Hogan was great today, ran hard, chased, bought the ball to ground, stayed in the contest. 

he would be in the best handful on the ground had he kicked straighter

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
