I reckon we deserved that. And 17 points feels about right. One down on the bench for 2.5 quarters but never felt like we ran out of gas.

Clearly tried harder with shorter kicks and fewer play on instances. It's not all there yet unfortunately, with still far too many dumb turnovers. A step in the right direction but we have many more steps to take.

Thought Lever was super impressive, really important return to some form. Not sure if Oscar is the reason for that but Oscar's performance was strong too. 

Weideman did what we wanted - needs confidence and hopefully he got some today. 

Hannan and vandenBerg were really important and Bennell looked better than he did vs Carlton.

Just home from the game. A very small crowd but it had a big voice! I have lost mine.  A special mention to Umpire 20, probably the second best for the Suns after Rankine. His calls on Langdon we

That game from OMac was better than Smiths whole career output. Experiment done. OMac is no superstar, but he can shut down a tall and allows others like Lever and Hibberd to get free and intercept an

I thought we’re were great. A tough opponent. Unlike other games, they didn’t outman us all day. We could kick unanswered goals. Didn’t just give up. So, happy.

Lol we’re at my brothers. I don’t want stay the night, but he’s got this big bottle of Jack he promised we’d open if we won ?

Nice to see some changes made this week, definitely thought the structure was much better! 

We really struggled with decision making, errors and the pressure but I think we'll get a lot of confidence out of the win.

Desperately hope that TMac is OK, otherwise Brown has to come in. This game clearly showed that multiple talls in the forward and backline are needed

Wow that was stressful, but woooo hoo!! Signs of life

All is forgiven, I love youse guys ❤️❤️❤️

Seriously though, Weid, though I thought he was average, needs to play every game for the rest of the year. He only needs to take two marks inside 50 per game and will more often than not kick both. The only thing that will teach him to be the player he can be will be time in the ones

Hannan and Viney were superb today. Vanders excellent in the last quarter. 
 

There is no doubt we are a lot better set up with Oscar down back and it even allowed us to throw May forward when he was stinking it up. 
 

Extremely disappointing to see our ball use was again horrific. Petracca and May nowhere near good enough. 

Weideman did ok. He needs a bit more time. Also a real shame we lost TMac because it looked good to have two talls in the first quarter. 
 

Our wastefulness with the ball is so frustrating and against a better more mature side we would have lost. 
It was nice to have less chaos ball and playing on at all costs. Our decision making was better but our execution is still just rubbish at times.

Weid, Oscar and Harley justified their inclusion. I can't say that about Nev. More than once he flew for the ball against one or two team mates. I know we need some continuity in selection but I'd be tempted to drop Nev before Lockhart.

Was good to finally see the team take a bit of time and look for an option rather than just kicking or hand balling in hope. 
 

Now it needs to continue rather than a one off.

really annoyed at the string of soft free kicks and downfield frees given to the suns.  Soft as butter, yet nothing was done when weed was continually shoved forward in almost every contest.  It felt like the umps were trying to keep the Suns in it.

GO THE MIGHTY DEES! Great win without T.Mac. Gawn and Viney were fantastic. Petracca even though his kicking was terrible Oliver, Langdon and Hannan were also good. Good to see Weid hit the scoreboard. BRING ON THE HAWKS!

Hannan and AVB big second half. Watching Hannan from 2018 , doesn't always get a lot of it, but gee he has some important moments.  Vanders,  some players struggle to make a tackle, does he ever miss one.

Good win in the end. Bennell has smarts and Pickett will be good. O Mc takes the pressure off Lever and May. We need more composure with the ball. VB goes at the ball really hard. Some very silly kicks and handballs at times. Maybe some confidence from the win will allow them to be more relaxed on disposal?

    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
