Remember Mooney dominating around the ground for them too.  Rocked up hoping we could emulate the miracle win at Kardinia Park that got us there, but the game looked over at quarter time. At least Robbo capped off his career year with 4.  Not much else to take from the game for Dees fans.

I think the Dees had spent their tickets getting to the finals in an epic run in.  We also lost Neita in the final round win over Essendon.

Yeah Mooney was incredible that day. 

Oh that’s right I just remembered something else, being right behind Davey’s shot from the goalsquare that hit the post.

Much better to remember the saints game the following year.

remember the G train running back to full forward during the third quarter. Got a great big roar, but didn’t get a near the pill for the rest of the game. 

Go Dees  we will win   6 goals I think

 

Loved it when he tried to run around Carrol and injured his ankle, lol.

We limped over the line that year and were in some terrible form come September.  That was an issue we had in 04, 05 and 06; we were never peaking at the right time of year.

This year however...

I’ll never forget White getting kicked in the face. Devastating.

Weve had some great ruckman across the journey, haven’t we?

Really needs to be a thread. In my time, Stynes, White, Jolly/Jamar, Gawn...

If that doesn't get demonlanders of that vintage excited, I don't know what will...

O’dwyer is often forgotten now but he was a great one two combo with Stynes  87-90. Think he even won our b&f in our grand final year of 88 . He got suspended before the debacle v Hawks.

Yeah too true, those three years from 2004-2006 we really fell apart at the end of each home and away season.

2018 is more like  1998 and 2000 as far as form heading into the finals goes.. not the massive winning streaks, but we still head in with two huge scalps and in red hot form...  we also finished 14-8 in those two seasons, same as this season.

Crap decision by the umpire. In the mele their were heaps of Carlton guy's swinging, as well as Melbourne, but the ump picked on "Strawbs" to settle it down. Peter Landy, commentating, was wetting himself. So worked up. He was really giving it against Strawbs knowing full well that Melbourne would play HIS TEAM, Hawthorn, the next week. Maybe the first "trial by media".

I remember in 04 we were 1st after 18 rounds. Front page of the paper. First time we had been 1st that deep in the season since 1964. Boy were we being talked up!

Then we lost to Port by 70 points and ended the season with 4 straight losses before losing to Essendon in the Elim by 5 points. Broadbridge's last game.

    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.
