Doesn't this win make Demonland the number 1 forum with these matches now? I think Saintsational are pretty highly rated.

Anyway well done guys, wish I could of been there (can't believe I forgot my sisters birthday and had to miss the game lol)

I'm closest to the top right hand corner.

Great match today boys. Wise, you nailed a perfect match report. Good work.

Had I not been a bit sore {thanks to the Corporate Games yesterday all day} I would have ran a bit more and maybe kicked 6, rather than 3 big ones... ;)

Sorry I had to shoot through so quickly after the match, but I had an entourage with me who had to move on. Next time, I will stay for a snag on the barby. Wise, thanks for letting me take the first swig out of the cup... the taste of victory. :)

Boys, I've got some other photos from today which I can send through. PM me or send reply on here and I can send on the goods. Hards, Rollo thanks for organising a great day. Hope to be back for the next one in '07.

I have our stirring rendition of "Grand Old Flag" on footage too if anyone wants a peak.... :D

Well done guys. Brought a tear to my eye seeing us dominate so well. Is there any chance of the rematch being played in Feb? I'll be back in Melbourne then, and relatively fit. I can also line up perhaps Before2Long and DreamTeam. All 3 of us would be handy at worst. It hurt to miss the day, I want to at least be there for the next one.

Well done lads. Sorry I couldn't be there but she who must be obeyed decided to have her birthday at the weekend and let's face it, when you meet a girl who's birthday's in November, you automatically think that's not going to interfere with footy.

Cheers and well done to the players and to Rollo - our chief organiser and manager!

And just to show our even handedness this is how our opposition saw the game - http://www.saintsational.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25881 (if you think some of the photos are out of focus then you had too much to drink after the game)

Ah he was a mate of Oxx's, who came along to help with the numbers in the second half. A really nice bloke. He's got a background in Rugby Union and would have blitzed today had he possessed any idea of the rules!

It's Oxx's job to get him up to speed on the rules by the new year, cause aside from his obvious size, he's got decent skills and a good engine. Best yet though, no Saint went near him! I wonder if it was the leather gloves he was wearing?

Yeah, when we organise the next game I'll make sure that I take him down to a track somewhere a few weeks before the game & teach him some of the basics. If I just teach him how to bounce, kick & handpass then we should just let him loose in the midfield.

btw I'm the head up the back with the eyes shut.

Ladies & Gents, I am happy to inform you that I have posted my stirring rendition of the Melbourne footy club song "Grand Old Flag" on YouTube!

Check it out, rate it high and make this one a winner!

Go the Mighty Dees!

Enjoy Boys!

:D

Haha, that's brilliant. Melbourne players themselves couldn't have done that better.

And just how tall is the guy playing ruck, and can we rookie him? :o:o

I reckon we did a sensational job at singin' it!

If only they let us into the Sydney Opera House that night. :P

The tall guy is my mate Cribbes. He blitzed it last year, kicked 3 goals and won every hit out.

If the lazy [censored] put a bit of effort into his footy about 4 years ago he'd be a fair chance!!

He's 203 cm and still growing!

How is the knee coming along?

It hasn't really improved much since yesterday, if anything i've got less movement in it now. Its massively bruised, and hopefully i can find some time this Wednesday or Thursday to see a physio.

Thanks to the guys that helped me off the ground, and sorry for stopping play for a bit there.

Would it be up to us to challenge a different forum for a game? I dont think we'll be beaten.. Even with 15 players

A friend of mine who was there yesterday reckons that she has had heaps of interest from "Mighty Hawks". I think they are keen to give us a game. I reckon we should.

After my no show yesterday, I would definitely be keen to play and show my stuff. Get on it!

I have got my hands on some more shots from yesterday if anyone is interested. Just send me a PM or email.

I will email them tonight to those who have already sent me a PM.

Thanks Guys. :)

Robbo24 - Hope the knee makes some quick progress, in time for our next bout! ;)

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
