If Lewis and Vince can wind back the clock a bit, our midfield still looks strong. I hope Lewis spends time playing an inside role as Oliver needs some support in the absence of the skippers. I t

Agreed. How often is MFC a goal down after 1/2 minutes? Answer: too often.

However, we have won our last 4 1st q...

Dean Kent to silence all those who have written him off.

23 possessions, 7 tackles, 4 goals

As much as I'm not keen on Kent I hope you're right about this. In fact I'd be happy if only your tackle forecast was right and he only had 15 possessions and 2 goals.

So do I.  Probably the greasy pile of muck I just ate to put a layer under the beer.

Indeed. Could have been the x4 pancakes, x6 smoky bacon rashers, x3 fried eggs and maple syrup I put away this morning. ??

Hardly a cloud in the sky, forecast mainly fine

Can't be right because the roof at Etihad is closed. There's no way the AFL would pass up the opportunity to blind the 3,000 or so people who turned up to watch the kangapoos or to wreck the contrast settings on the TVs of the 12 of us watching it on Fox before turning over to the real game!

"Running over the same old ground - what have we found? The same old fears...." 

yep - the same old ground and and the same old fears, MCG and were favourites in a huge game. But as we at the club know the outs are huge and whenever we have this kind of build up you've been conditioned as a supporter to know we're really the underdogs in these contests. 

But we've been a new side this year and exercised many, ahem, demons of the past; let's hope today is just one more and win lose or draw - god it's good to see Hoges back out there. Given his year - just hope he gets to enjoy it and we see a smile at the end of the day from ear to ear.

go d's!

WTF is with that away jumper against Carlton. Surely that big chunk of red at the top, as well as white shorts and red socks would have been sufficient againt the blues.

Even the alternative away strip with the red back would have worked just fine.

No 7 coverage in ACT thanks to local channel broadcasting their 2 games yesterday (GWS/Hawks and Syd/GC). Waiting for coverage to start on Fox Footy Play + (won't start until 1st bounce).

(Side note: as a result of the NSW teams coverage 2 out of 3 of the FTA games here this week have been retransmission of Foxtel broadcasts and only once have we had to put up with Channel 7's useless common taters)

Jesse seems to be flying under the radar.

Hope he flies a lot higher than that once the game starts.

WTF with the white jumper?  The red back, normal front would present absolutely no visual clash.

How good would it be if hogan takes a pack mark goes back and slots the first goal? 

Yep. Leigh Matthews: " I wouldn't play Jones on Hogan because he won't be doing much today"

    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.
