GAMEDAY - Round 7



Recommended Posts

Good luck to hogan today, he deserves a win and I hope the club delivers it for him. I do think on paper we look stronger this week and great to see Bernie starting in the middle. Expecting another big game from lewis. Wouldn't say - especially in this week of upsets (Kangas - wtf??) am rock solid confident but still believe we can and will win.

A spot in the eight, staying in touch with the top 4, and the prospect of beating the old side of one of our most important leaders (the Hawks no less): all these things are on the line today. There is so much to play for this afternoon that my MFCSS is working overtime and it's not even 9:30am yet…

Cant wait to hear the bells tolling and the Dees running out looking pumped and ready to raise hell. Go Dees.

Third game in 13 days - test will be if the fitness staff have managed to freshen squad or will there be a flat spot. 

If you played each Sunday you would have 3 games in 14 days so I don't think we have much to worry about on that score

Won't be able to watch as I have just moved and my internet isn't up and firing yet. I am writing this from my smartphone.

McEvoy is more of a daunting prospect in the ruck than Bellchambers, so hopefully the Bear can put two good performances together in a row.

We should win by 4 goals but the players should be taking nothing for granted.

Was away last year so did not hear the bells until the Freo game.

Very good sound... liked the drum lead up could be louder

All I want from today is a four quarter effort. 

All I want from today is four points ........ and that's exactly what a four quarter effort will deliver.

In 2017 we haven't really been outplayed yet in my opinion, we have either won or dominated so much and missed opportunities that we have run out of legs. 

I think our ladder position isn't a reflection of how good our best is, but a reflection of how young our side is. 

I think we will beat the hawks easily, because we should smash them in the contest and be to quick on the outside.

This game has me seriously nervous... They are due to put in a reasonable performance & unfortunately a lot of sides have a bit of a mental edge on us knowing we can be mentally fragile.. They'll be up for the fight from the start, this isn't going to be a walk in the park like the saints had last week against them. This is HUGE test to see where this football club is at, Melbourne of old would drop this game... We lose this & finals is a long road.

Ahhh, 10am Gameday.

Confident, nervous, reading everything, anxious, ready, not ready, sensing a win, sensing a draw, sensing a flogging, posting on Demonland, groaning at other Demonlander's posts, too much coffee already, already thinking about my first Shiraz, cider or Dalmore 18yo scotch.... , what time is it x 100, constantly checking the pathetic AFL app for updates.

Love/hate Gameday.

Careful Maldon, don't want to get Uncle Bitter up and about too early

Hey Col, the game is also on Ch 7.

Hopefully it rains today which will bring McEvoy down to size, so to speak.  We match up fairly well in terms of height with the rest of their team.  Contested ball is their weakness and the rain will tire their ageing legs more than ours.  So lots of advantages for us.

And, yep the team has a lot to play for and if they bring enough hunger they will get the job done.

    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
