Pre game Howe And Dunn were talking to most of our defensive group. Oscar ran over to Dunn and gave him a Dannaher-esc hug. 

Haha. I missed that. Was mostly noticing a couple extra unheated but unnecessary shoves in the pack on Dunn by Jones and Viney toward the end. Oscar ran over to hug Lynden? Embarrassing - unless he whispered in his ears, 'cheers for the spot, old chum . . . p ' at the same time.

Umpires helped us a lot. Oscar was VAFA in the first half but All Australian in the second. Fitting that Watts kicked the sealer, an excellent goal at that. Tyson does himself no favour

Favourite moment: Watts sealer was all class and very poetic. The look on his face after he kicked it was priceless.  It was like it eradicated years of pain.   Really pleased for him.

Spent the first half with loud mouth Pies' supporters giving it to Watts. When he kicked the sealer in the last me and my mate turned around stuck it right up them. Absolute ripper

I must admit I didnt really pay attention at the end on who went and spoke to how and dunn. I was watching the boys celebrate the win. But dunn only left last year so Im sure he has some mates at melbourne. But Lynden its ok Hibbard is a fine replacement.

Viney gave Dunn a great shove when the game was in the bag with 30 seconds to go

ANB was quietly good today, flying under the radar a bit - 22 touches, 6 tackles. 

Pity about the 50% efficiency. At half time he was around 40% DE.

Like the way he goes about it, but if he could only tighten up his disposals ...

Home now, drunk, hoarse and emotionally exhausted. Great win!

Was standing behind the bottom level seats at the Punt Road end and was hugging and high "fiving" random, fellow Demons fans after the last Watts goal! We were absolutely bloody ecstatic!

How tragic for the precious petals. They should stay away from AFL. It's not good for them to subject themselves to such meanness. Jack High or snooker might be more their style.

Yes, I completely lost my s#!t when he kicked that goal, everyone around me lost it. A really great moment.

Absolutely. There's a lot Jack does that I don't think the average fan notices. I have a feeling it was against the Gold Coast last year where he kicked the goal to get us in front and then took the contested mark in defence at the end. 

Riewoldt is a fantastic player, but I feel that he's emulating Nick's style of football with great athleticism. His shot for goal he hit the post with came after big time running. Credit to the Seven commentator (can't remember who) but he called it because of his hard running, and when he had a shot where didn't have to run so hard for he nailed it. In fact I noticed when he kicked that goal in the 3rd he was really trying to gee up with teammates. 

I think there's a lot of love for Jack at the club.

I admit it gave me the [censored] a bit when he was left out of the Pre Season games because of some imagined misdemeanor.

Would rather someone cleaned up Howe, only good should come to Dunn.

You'd never find Howe in a position where even the slightest amount of physical contact would be coming his way. That's the difference between the 2. That's why i will always have respect for Dunny, and why i will never have any for Howe. He's soft as butter and remains a massive downhill skier.

What was all that booing about? Do they still think it's 2009 and he can be intimidated by mental or physical intimidation? Or is it that he is something most of them could never be: handsome, intelligent and athletic?

Or in this case, a winner :)

Agree 100%. The coaching has been good in the way that they have made the necessary changes to turn games. The thing that worries me is the seeming lack of work that we are putting into the opposition prior to the games. we have not been able to play games on our terms from the first bounce.

Kind of agree but don't think think wasn a master stroke. The same thing happened in a few other games. Start tmac in the ruck. He's been awful up forward apart from a cameo against the Crows. At least in the ruck he can use his huge tank to run the other ruckman around.

    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
