I smiled , shook my head and said maybe we should save it for the next win. I’d gotten 2 new flags for the girls but left them bitterly in the boot of the car. Their smiling faces beneath their Dees beanies just ripped my bloody heart out; as much as the club had an hour earlier. It took every ounce of mindfulness to enjoy the moment for what it was, albeit gut wrenching.

I had a tear(s) in my eye reading this (well written), am with my two babies in Geneva for the weekend, so couldn't watch game,yet. Followed the score and the MFCSS (Gameday) thread, was only kept sane by how much I love being with my kids) caved in the last 4 min to watch the finish on my app (on skype with the older kid who was running around the room with hysterical happiness). Now in the very serious position of playing finals and my partner about to give birth in 5 weeks, I think the compromise will be a new and very large TV.

I’m absolutely amazed that supporters of other clubs boo just because we won. 

Fair enough to boo an unfair umpiring decision. 

But to boo because we won fair and square??!!

What for????????????

Too much coke. Don’t do drugs kids.

Good chance one of these 15 pages mention it, but what was the scuffle at the end about.  Nev looked seriously upset.

Yeah I was talking to the Mrs about that.  Really out of character for Nev. Must have hit a nerve.

Last play of the day Nev buried LeCras & I think he had a good sook about it & tried it on with Nev.

Picked the wrong man...

I posted this in another thread but it also deserves to be here:

It says so much and it says everything we all feel.  12 years of hurting wrapped up in one image.

Take the Chance Boys. 

It starts now!!

I'm wondering if maybe it was just that LeCras kept competing after the siren went. Honourable no-nonsense player like Nev hears the siren to confirm he's playing finals in 3 weeks, his body goes relaxed, and as it had just happened, Lecras might have thrown his elbow back to get separation as you normally would in case it was called play on. At least that's what I'm picking happened. In the heat of the moment, going on with it after the siren is the kind of thing that makes a player fume.

Let's not forget also that we can't pick and choose the "good" records just because they play for us. Lecras is hardly a dirty player.

I've  never seen Nev react like that.

I wonder what triggered it.

Anyways I just love watching the bloke play. He's like a brick wall for us.

Brayshaws game is going from strength  to strength. I think he'll end up our captain one day. His handball between an opponents legs to a team mate in the 1st q was brilliant.

Gawn might go close to a brown low this year and Clarry is the best talent I've seen.

Great selections to bring in some pace.

Anything can happen now with belief.

So happy go Dees!

I was yelling at the TV calling Lecras a rat in the heat of the moment but I do regret that now. Far from Ballentyne.

Rarely beaten all day, solid as a rock. That tackle on Rioli was a thing of beauty, after it I was thinking he’s taken down Cyril and Eddie, you had no hope kid!

He did look pretty peeved though, considering we’d just won it was surprising to see him so fired up but it might’ve just been niggle at the wrong time.

Pretty sure he wouldn't have heard you. lol

They play the game hard those guys, and they're not snipers, even with the Gaff thing. I'm not sure Lecras wanted to go on with it once the song was playing either. From what I could see he was trying to ease the situation off. Certainly a lot of his team mates, even rookies like Venables were trying to congratulate Jonesy instead of pushing and shoving. I reckon that's great. It was one of the games of the year, as everyone's saying, even without the context. You'd be shattered to lose, but you'd not have lost any pride.

Nev is a legend his tackle on Rioli was the best tackle I've seen since Viney's tackle on Weller.

    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

    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
