We have still yet to account for the pathetic performances we give for 50% of the game.

We have some serious attitude problems at the club that need to be addressed (and should have already been addressed) asap.

Number one Priority...

this win must not be a band aid...

Supporters need the bye next weekend more than the players ?

You could be forgiven for wanting nothing to do with the club after the first half.  I didn't.  I thought I was going to take a two week hiatus from the site, from the club, from anything to do with M

I highly recommend for those that haven't been to Alice to come up and support - it's awesome. On a very personal note - not that anyone knew... nice win for the old man looking on - exactly one year

Gawn and Hogan play and we probably win.  Granted, Ablett is a huge out for them but we were missing some very good, and important, players as well.

An unenjoyable win is correct, but I'll still take the win.

True.

We were still pox.

Yes a win is a win. I'll take it, but i don't have to like it.

Hope the players' have the same attitude towards it too. What we served up in the first half cannot be swept under the carpet. Hopefully the break will allow the FD to really look into it and do something productive about it.

I have no doubt if we brought 4 quarters every week then we'd be a chance for the flag. Unfortunately we're still yet to see it but 1.5 was enough for an easy win.

Jones and Harmes were the catalysts. Hibberd is elite even when the chips are down, and biased [censored] Rohan Connolly didn't have him in top 10 recruits for the year. LOL.

Hannan is a winner, a bit like Breust at the Hawks, just bobs up for goals every week.

I'll [censored] take that win. Halfway through the third and it was season over, now it's alive again.

Goodwin-ball has it's flaws but it's like a tsunami when it works.

Agree with much of that, SS.  The 'tsunami' analogy is spot on.

We played 1.5 quarters of good footy, and in that time we kicked 14 goals.  Granted, the Suns aren't great opposition and they tired, but it shows how good we are when it clicks.  Imagine playing like that for 3.5 quarters?

Jordan Lewis was so important behind the ball, setting up and really leading the team.

Oscar MacDonald is simply a mistake machine.  Almost every touch led to a turnover, a contested ball and lots of goal assists for GC.  He really isn't good enough, based on this performance.

We can do great things in a half of footy - I'm keen to see them put it together for 4 quarters at some stage.

Made some poor errors but Lynch and Wright had 9 marks and only 4 goals between them and he had 11 1%ers (next closesr was Nev with 6).

Tom Bugg  0 goals 7 behinds the last 2 games

I have still liked his game over the past fortnight, though.  He is clearly playing well as a defensive forward, he has good hands and he is getting to the right spots to hit the scoreboard.  He just needs to put a few kicks through the big sticks like he did against the Crows.

Nathan Jones is a hero!! He willed the team to a win.

He bleeds red and blue. 

On a side note...I just noticed we have the 4th highest percentage.

Could you imagine if we could play for four Q all the time?  Yes i agree with you Demon Disciple we need a solution to that problem because we can not be just showing up for bits here and there.

One of the most unenjoyable wins I've seen.  Ablett plays and we probably lose.

A long way to go for this group.

They had Ablett out we had Gawn and Hogan out. With them in TMac plays back Oscars out and we have a marking target up forward for all the bombs we sent in in the 1st quarter

Neal-Bullen breakout game?

Composure, decision making and execution were excellent.

Good point, SJ.  He used it very well this week and he was stiff to be dropped a few rounds ago.

The other one that stood out for me was Melksham.  Had a huge impact on the game and he looks a much better player since being released from the half back line.  Let's hope that continues as well.

Can't get Hogan and Gawn (or even Spencer) back quick enough.

Steven May would help!

    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.

    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
