Get around the show tomorrow morning Dees fans - we'll have ex-coach Paul Roos and current captain Nathan Jones on! That should be great especially to hear from roosy and nath on the atmosphere and how the game played out. 

Also apparently melbourne are opening a 1hr media session tomorrow, putting up every player that played friday night.

I heard on Channel 9 Sunday Footy show today that the club would be making all 22 players from Friday’s game available to the media this week. This has me a bit worried. I hope it doesn’t distract players from the main game. We need to win the next game!

I have a feeling this was pretty much done last week and didn’t have a negative impact.  May not have been all 22 but it seemed like most.

It’s actually quite good for training for future years. What I also love is that it is something they are doing together (everyone is important etc). Also means no extra pressure on one or 2 players. I really like the idea.

As the OP stated it is only for a 1 hour session. They'll probably go light on media duties for the majority of players after that.

A bit of 'feeding the chooks' as they say in the National Party.

Get the media part done enough to keep everyone happy, then get back to focusing on the real job. Hopefully helps clear the noise from player's minds, 'That's done, don't need to think about that now.

Great idea by the club, everyone wants a piece of the Dees, get it out the way early with all of them present and move on to Friday.

I know people like to look for reasons why we lose, but i hardly think 1 hour of answering media questions when Monday is probably a light fitness day is hardly the worse thing in the world. Infact i doubt it has any impact on the weekend's game.

The posters who had a meltdown over James Harmes post game interview after the Sydney loss scoff at your common sense.

Melbourne are regularly praised for great player access and it hasn’t affected things so far.

TMAC said this morning it gets all the media out of the way in one single hit, rather than stagger out all week and distract, pretty clever IMO especially with a young team. They did the same last week from memory.

Plus it's one hour, in and out ,and you're done for the week. No more media, and you can focus on the game from Monday afternoon onwards. I think it's a great idea!

We got some characters alright!!!!

This could just be the story of the Season 2018 and beyond if someone in the Media realises it...i do not think i have seen such a blend of charismatic footballers in one Team (look at the others) and there is more outside the 22 to come in......it could be like a movie that hasn't been thought of yet.

I don’t need a feed thanks - just the opposite.

A deliciously archaic request :) Brings me right back! 

I remember the days where you didnt even have direct line recording. You had to tip toe out of the room otherwise you could hear it picked up on the tape.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
