I don't mind the cats, in fact if we had no longer existed (as in merged with the Hawks) I would have swapped to the cats. I have good mate who is a cat supporter (his mothers side has a team of the century player for the cats) but his old man is a dee, he has the dees as his second team. Has been great as we can gang up on our Hawk supporting mate for both the Geelong and Demon games.

Love this result. Swans are rubbish and a team above us loses.  Perfect.

Definitely.

Geelong are making September, no doubt about it.

The race for the vacant three spots in the 8 from 2016 will be incredibly interesting. At the moment Richmond and Port are looking likely and Essendon are starting to look scary. Then there's the Saints, who are napping but will awaken soon you'd think. Then there's us. Five teams vying for three spots, but it can become four if West Coast start to falter. 

So yeah, Go Cats tonight.

i agree, but i also dont like the sound of playing a west coast team that's lost four in a row... 

Do you like the sound of playing a west coast team that has won one in a row? Is that preferable @qwerty?

I reckon the Cats'll be huge for years. I suppose they're the last of the Victorian clubs with a real home-ground advantage and a powerful community base. Also, being in a depressed region with swinging seats, they get a lot of Government support.

How does that help recruitment and coaching?

They had a list in the age today where they went back to the 2007 draft and where they would probably go now. Obviously we took Morton at 4 and it'as not his fault where he was chosen but gee looking at the names after him that we could have chosen. We could have picked up Danger. 

But we do need geelong to beat wc tonight to help us on the ladder.

All I want from this match is for Geelong to make it as bruising as possible. Give their key players some niggles going into our match, after all they will have a 9 day break and playing at home vs us having a 6 day break (after another 6 day break) and travelling to Perth. Seems fair right?

Can't see us giving up QB any time soon.

Oh no I'm definitely not saying that! Still one of my favourite days on the calendar. More just pointing out the AFL have given us a very tough ask of backing up a 6 day break (and travel) after another 6 day break, with another one coming. 

I know the way the fixture works these things happen, but more to my point I'd like West Coast to come out of this game nursing some injuries and maybe a suspension or two! :P

    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

    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.
