Everyone's a bit cocky for my liking - feels like pre-Essendrug again. 

I hope we have learned from that kind of dangerous mindset and put the clamps on early.

Chiillax Dude.

We just have to roll up and it will happen.

If the ball gets out our mids are too slow to get back and help defend and our backline is too short to out mark their three 197+cm tall forwards. 

In recent times our midfield pressure has been good.  It is our forwards that need to defend exceptionally well today - something they have been poor at all year.  The ball needs to stay in our forward half.  Not wanting to put pressure on but we really need a big game from Hogan today with goalkicking and doing his share of defending.

Suns much more organised and switched on than last time - not at all confident.

The frustrating thing is we been starting well early in most of the games we have lost recently.

That's true. So add to my previous statement a '4-quarter effort'. 

All the well-worn cliches - just win the bloody game!

I think this is different - they went with 3 talls to rough up Maxy not as genuine forwards so their talls were just goal posts up forward!

Also that was a wet track - terrible day for talls anywhere on the ground.  Today's track and weather are quite different.

We underestimate Lynch, Day and 2meter Pete, at our peril!  They are all in form genuine forwards - not faux ruckman.

Gold Coast had Wright, Lynch and Day in their side the last time we played them.

They will put Day forward this week but didn't he play on Hogan last time? Hogan finished that game with 1.3 from 9 touches, in a game where we kicked 24.16.

We had no problem with Lynch and Wright the last time, the reason being the same tactic as today: we restricted their inside 50s (75 to us, 35 to them). Keep their opportunities down and our midfield and forward line should be good enough to win the game.

Laziness through the middle and from our half-forwards though...

And ready

We are crap

This should be how we play all the time

Great tackle

We can't tackle

Selection mistakes again

See why they brought VDB back

He's gone

We can build a team around around him

FFS

 

and that's just 5 minutres into the first quarter

The only thing surer is you blindly leaping to the defence of anyone who is criticised.

The mind boggles to what kind of excuses will be brought up by apologists if we lose. There is just no way I could accept a loss today.

Probably the same excuses used week in week out because they dont just dissapear overnight... it takes preseasons... but anyway not sure why i am bothering 

Anyway adc maybe you should just try enjoying the game since we are competitive now at least.

I reckon our mids should get thr job done today. If not we might be in trouble.

Given that the garden salad I had at lunch has more intensity than their midfield today should be a walk-over.

I think we wil win quite comfortably, I would love to see a 100 point demolition of the Suns.

We were competitive last week. I was impressed by our effort.  So no bloody excuses.

    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
