Loved this comment by Dermie, if the Dees scrape into the finals, there will be 7 other teams not wanting to play them. We are a respected club again and I feel proud once again to be a Dees fan.

Sorry to report that Jesse was really getting into the team song. For all you body language experts.

The comedown from last week finally hit in the third, and it bloody hurt. However, we won by 40 points, basically in third gear, where several of our best players were well off the pace. A lot of

That was the worst game I've seen from Hogan, hopefully it was because his knee is causing him issues.

Don't worry. He has an important role as a decoy. Our most important wins are the ones where others have kicked our goals!

How long have we waited to hear/see these words about our club:  "After stunning Hawthorn the previous week, they were under pressure to at long last show some consistency, and to win again in a hostile environment proves they really deserve respect"

Can't be bought, must be earnt.  And we are; more to do but no turning back now!  

We are on the verge of ending opposition supporter's pity...to be replaced by their envy!!:cool:

Can't complain about a 40 point win in Adelaide.

Port's kicking was the worst I have seen in a long time. Them and Collingwood are carrying too many terrible users of the footy. Especially out of defence.

Does my heart good FD. And long may it continue.

Me too - I logged on to ticketmaster last night to see how much tickets down at Geelong would be - seems we'll be stuck watching that one in pubs or at home, nothing available as far as I can find.

This from the Age will have a few choking on their drinks:

"Dom Tyson, Clayton Oliver Jayden Hunt and Angus Brayshaw also had their quality moments, backed up by a resilient defence led by Oscar McDonald."

I am not sure, but maybe, just maybe, the footy department knows more than Demonland.

Was never wise to write off a 19 year old KPD in just his second season with less than 20 games under his belt.  Kid will be a player and a half.

That is what Taylor thought was possible, when he drafted him.

Watching the game v Brisbane from the stands I didn't think he was ready.  But full credit to the boy and to the coaching staff he has improved every week and is now playing good football.  

The defensive structure last night was really solid, helped by Port's poor kicking, but whenever port went inside 50 I didn't feel like they were likely to score.  

2 more to go.

Thank you PJ, Roos, Taylor and everyone else who helped. We are an AFL football club again.

The situation is not too different from '87.

We are a young team on the rise in the last half,hoping for wins we can and can't control ,to give us the last available finals spot on %.

There is a core of talent in this team that look more gifted than '87.

We had Newport,Lyon,Rigoni,Lovett ,Lovell,Flower,Stynes,O'Dwyer ,Hughes ,Viney,Stretch ,Johnson and Yeats who were all solid but Lyon seemed like the only real star(and Robbie) who was bandaged up like a rag doll.Stinga was injured from memory.

And in both years,assuming we do the Blues and North do the right thing,it will come down to a game at the Cattery.

Geelong will not want to rest too many against us as the top teams have done previously before finals.Even if they do -bring it on.

I'm not going to make predictions but the list available and fit this time in ,is superior to what took us to a within a kick of a GF appearance in '87 and I think most of the over 40's will agree.

If we do get to a Prelim,say against Hawthorn,and Sam Mitchell runs in to the protected zone,giving away 50m to give Max a shot from 40 in front,kicks it and kisses the 11 and we do go to the GF I will be quite happy.

But I'm not getting ahead of myself.

I agree. (Rigoni and Tingay were a few years off though.)

Love your prediction at the end I think everyone would collectively lose their [censored] if that happened haha

The worst part will be if we do go ahead and win the extra two we'll have to wait til that night to find out our destiny - it's why all games in the last round should be 2pm Saturday (as far as feasible)

    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.
