Amazing to believe that a six goal win against a top four side in a semi final is being considered as a 'down week.'  Remember when such a thing involved an upset loss to Carlton or St Kilda?

The general argument that we can play better is correct. But saying things like we "took a step backwards" is just sensationalist stupidity. We're a young, inexperienced side playing in front of

“If Melbourne play like that next week, they’ll get beaten by 12 goals" We only lost by 11 goals. Take that kingy!

Agree Kingy, but sometimes it's good to win ugly.  But to know we have another gear or 2 is great internally.  My fear is that the players have had 2 amazing crowd-backed adrenaline-filling games.  The next one will be flipped on its head in that respect.  Also Coast have Kennedy & Darling, unlike a few weeks ago.

 

 

Before Demonlander's vilify him and throw metaphoric eggs at his windows, Kingy has been our greatest supporter in 2018, even when the simpletons (Lyon - 8 by default; Demonology slitting its wrists after Geelong and Sydney) were wallowing in the veil of negativity.

it's nice that we can have a 'poorer' game..and still win.  Signs are good... 

King, nor Ling, nor @ding, nor I @Danelska, know the permeations that will determine the outcome of the game...

If we get belted...still a successful year...

Quite frankly, the spectrum is simply,   (we belt them.....we win close....draw....they win close....they belt us).

And I'm surprised (but not for the sake of writing an article to fill a quota) that King has brought into fleeting form.

I love the way they talk about Hawthorns injuries being Stratton and O'Meara. I thaught we had our best defender and forward missing but what does that matter in an arguments sake. 

No disrespect to TMAC

i like the idea of kingy talking up the eagles, keep it up, i would rather they underestimate us, now that they have a couple of their stars back, i want them thinking they have this in the bag, home crowd, home umpires all that sort of thing.  We showed we can pants them over there so when we start to hit the score board i want to see them doubt themselves. We may not win by as much as we did last time but i think we have the talent to beat them.

Meh. We’ve already overachieved this season. To beat our two biggest “bogie” teams in finals was a massive achievement. Yes we didn’t play great, but to win without playing great, is a sign of greatness. 

Richmond beat Hawks by 31 points and are flag favorites. We beat them by 33 points and are going backwards. Cool logic.

Wow! Maybe he watched the game from the bar. Of course they had more marks, they were chipping it around that much. Hardly ever looked threatening going forward as other than Gunston they had no-one else to kick to! Jesus, if winning by 6 goals against a top 4 team, in a sudden death pressure final, is bad form, I'll take that every time. Kingy, take a look at the number of goal kickers each team had, there is your story there.

exactly, they chipped it around and bombed it in, no matter how much they do it that wont be effective in finals footy. while we lowered the eyes and made them pay.

We shut down the corridor all night. Forcing them to continually switch the play looking for gaps (they rarely found them) or going wide down the wings and flanks.

I thought we defended the ground magnificently last night. They weren't able to waltz through with their kicking skills. Sure they had a lot of marks, but many of them were effectively going nowhere.

He's mostly right, we didn't play well last night and need to improve. But I don't know about a "step backwards". We ground out an ugly win in a semi, which is something I wouldn't have thought we were capable of only a month or 2 back.

Im telling you and have been saying for the last 3-4 months, David King has got [censored] loads of cash on the Dees to win the flag, he is playing down the performance and putting a negative slant on proceedings.

He's not as stupid as you think he's a very smart operator, He is the Dees no.1 ticket holder. 

He's been smoking our poles for the last year now, he is heavily invested in the Dees big style.

    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
