Gutsy win! Go dees! I'm just glad Schofield has to eat his words a bit.

I hope he lost all the money he had on freo

one of the worst commentary performances I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to!

Again nothing but pure guts from the girls. Their desire to win is fantastic. I hope the boys were watching this. Want to mention Kate Mcnamara in that last quarter. She gave it absolutely everything. The same could be said of pearce.

[censored] HELL YEAAAHHHH GO YOU DEE GRRRRLS! 
been refreshing the AFLW app following score , cooking dinner, feeding showering and bed timing kids . Said a dispassionate goodnight to the kids when Freo got up by 1 point, refreshed again and had to go back in for an extra kiss and cuddle, whispering them the final score. They smiled, said ‘go Dees’ and went straight to sleep!

WINNING

Schofield is a more ordinary commentator than he was player and that is saying something.

Great last ten minutes by Paxman.

Gay, what a beauty, Great mark, after smart play by Daisy when she was awarded a 50. Finished with a much needed goal (last score for the game) to put us back infront.

Back-line was good in that quarter, Tarrant, Birch and Colvin.

Mcnamara all day, running in the heat.

L. Peace, great endeavour all game. Also, took control of a stoppage with one minute go in the freo forward area.

She's my favourite player at the moment. Just so gutsy. Her chasing, second and third efforts are fantastic.

I think the boys could learn a lot from watching the last two games.

Very proud of them.

Gee they're a rough & tough side Freo, I hope we don't get them in a prelim over there. I wonder if we can steal a double chance, if there is such a thing in this 'make it up as you go along' season.

33 degrees, headed in the 4th quarter  and facing the normai %hitstoem reception of Deliverance town. One of the better wins in recent times by the Melbourne Football Club.

One of the worst I’ve heard. Possibly worse than a 5AA feed. 

5AA had a great moment yesterday when James Rowe kicked a goal and his father was commentating.

The girls are now jumping up and down on their bed singing Beastie Boys’ ‘Fight For Your Right’ at the top of their lungs. 
But I don’t give a [censored]! 
God I love footy.

    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
