There's an open training session advertised on the club site to take place at Casey Fields today at 10.00am.

This is the first of the autumn training sessions and with some light morning drizzle and a maximum temperature of 27 predicted, we should expect close to a full squad (possible exception being Bernard Tomic).

If any of the locals is going, reports are welcome and let us know if you hear anything about a possible Casey Demons practice match at the weekend.

No pressure!  But, us interstaters are impatiently awaiting all of those in-depth reports that we all know are about to hit Demonland at any moment...

Simply not good enough, Dieter!  Keep up that attitude, and you will be out of the team alongside Wattsy!

Kindly smarten up, stick a few dollars in your moth-infested wallet, pack a thermos, and get back out there!  The team needs you!!

Really missing the training reports as it would be interesting to hear from the regulars on how Watts is going on the track. 

IMO Watts is critical if we want to play finals this year.

That's the end for him, you only get a few chances to show what u got,  unless the FD thinks you are worthy to persist with,  like Jagger.

He has certainly had a looooooong career and they have persisted with him however his signals when kicking out from the goal square are somewhat confusing. Crowd seems to enjoy them though.

needs a big preseason and to add 10kg of muscle before he can move into the midfield.

way too light a frame for the modern game.

Not great but a fractured forearm is not the worst injury. He can still maintain fitness and even play with a cast as many others have done. 

Timing is pretty awful for the guy. I wish him the best as he was looking a lot better in this year's pre-season than he has in past years.

Does anyone know what is wrong with Sam Frost. I was impressed with his development last year and am surprised he wasn't playing in the preseason games.

Can't help but wonder whether Goody picked his starting 22 (or the 24 or 27 from which the starting 22) for R1 a long time ago, and it's those that he wants to see in JLT.

No Frost, no Jetta, no Garland, no Trengove. And, more than likely, no Watts.

That's assuming injury isn't a factor, of course.

I think you've mistaken having sympathy for the Demons with Sympathy for the Devil.

Given he has played both JLT games to date, ANB will likely stay in the side now that JKH's out, AvB's apparent injury, and Kent's fitness being in question for Round 1.

To be honest, I'm not unhappy that ANB will be given the opportunity.  I rate him, not sure why, but just think there's something there.

And PF, there will still be room for Watts, presuming he gets a gig this weekend.

There will be no Watts. He will be too busy giving testimony before the Royal Commission.

    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
