One positive to come out of a game like this is that Demonland really comes to together and there's no bickering.

A bloke I know cut himself while shaving down there.  It got infected and he nearly died from arse-nic poisoning.

Does anyone know when the darts season starts?  

A win would be a great thanks for Roos and his efforts over the last few years. The darts were on 503 or 505 last night..

Well as I couldnt get a ticket and dont have foxtel im waiting to 3 when it comes on 7 to watch it. I will turn off from all media and social media. 

Not sure how I feel about today. A part of me wants to win because it would be good for Rossy and a nice way to send him off and also it would be nice to end the season with a win, but I will also be annoyed after we stuffed up last week. It seems when the pressure is off we do well. 

But have a top 8 spot up for grabs and we cant cope. 

Anyway no injuries today would be great.

If we win today when the pressure is off i will be furious.

I will have to find a good thai massage off Sukhumvit Road to mellow down....

Yeah beating Geelong in Geelong again would be horrible.

A minor point which is fairly irrelevant in the scheme of things, but would love to see Jack Watts kick at least 2 goals and hit 40 for the season.  A nice little reward for a very good season.

He'd better kick them - it would be a shame if he couldn't scrape the barest of pass marks for the season from ProDee.

This game is a lot more important than many give credit. A win builds momentum and excitement for pre season and the 2017 season. As Roosy said in his presser, the importance of that win over a depleted GWS in Round 23 last year set up pres season and 2016.

FWIW, I think we'll win. Just need to shut down Dangerfield and Selwood. Do that and we win.

If they struggled to put in a good performance last week against a side that had lost 9 on the trot with a finals spot up for grabs then what chance today against the Cats who are at home and playing for top spot?

If they were so hell bent on giving Roos a good send off what happened last week.

Not a lot to play for in the Dees eyes compared to the cats.

Low in the extreme is my expectation.

According to Roosy they didn't want to train them too much on the track before that match as some were a little tired :wacko:

To help being seen as a destination club we need to win today. A win against another top 4 side would be the perfect way to say thank you to Paul Roos. 

It also help encourage sponsors and potentially even help get Hogans extension done. 

Lets win and win well!

I just want to finish the season 9th, which we are unlikely to do now because St Kilda will most likely beat Brisbane. 

 

This really irritates me too. Their percentage is worse than Collingwoods yet they'll finish 9th. If our 'home' game was at the G we'd have won, and be playing for a finals spot today.

I'd still rather our list by a long way though.

People sooking up about how today is meaningless... So what when we went into the Hawthorn game you didn't give a [censored] cos 99% of people didn't think finals was a chance then... Our young group has a chance to knock off a top 4 side again to finish the year and put an ! on this season... I feel sorry for those who can't enjoy today for what it is

Spot on. Show the football world that we care and we bounce back fast from a bad loss.

    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
