We have no point of defence for this so just be glad we are not walking around wearing umbrellas as slippers.

Also, we have been waiting a while so we are reassessing what we expect to happen almost weekly - and that is going to end in tears one way or the other...

What are you talking about rp?

Mushrooms are good today?

The big thing for me is keeping our list as fit/injury-free as possible. Do that and we'll give 2021 a real shake. Luck is so tied to success in the AFL.

So yeah, keeping a lid on it...

Luck is certainly a key element.

As someone who is nearly old enough to remember 1964, I do think momentum is a key element that is often under-rated. It can snowball against you, or for you. 

The benefits of momentum are increasingly appearing for the Demons in 2021. I don't think many of us could have anticipated an outcome such as Christian P. signing for 7 years, a good 18 months before his current contract expires. 

This has to have a positive impact on the group, and then makes the job of singing our next wave of young stars significantly easier. 

For what it is worth, I think we are now a very good chance of capturing Merrett's interest at the end of the year as well.

It's all about whether Essendon match our offer.

I can't imagine they wouldn't, but it depends how much he wants to come.

Whilst it is apparent for some that Goodwin can't coach, it appears EVERYONE loves Goodwin at the club, so why WOULDN'T Merrett want to come (sorry for yelling)

Why not get excited?

The lids off, its way off. 
We have the cattle, the game plan and the coaches to go all the way.
The players are resigning on long deals at a rapid rate. Everything (bar Tomlinsons injury) is going right at the club for once.

However it’s very competitive at the top end of the ladder, there’s about 6 teams that have shown enough to suggest they can win it all this year.

Just being a team that can contend, come back in games when challenged and win games gets me excited.

We are a competitive chance to win any game, against anyone in the competition and that is enough to get excited about.

Well  if I wasn’t already excited, I certainly am now!!!

 I wasn’t expecting to go to this week’s game, but to my sheer Dee-light I am!

Just gonna share...

I have a husband and three sons, not one of whom is even remotely Interested in footy, nor sport in general. (I must’ve done something terrible in a previous life.) In particular, my 25yo son, a green tea-sipping, vegan, climate-change-active, tree-hugging, incense-burning, totes left-leaning, full-time uni. student who lives in a share house in Footscray that has no less than eight different recycling bins. He takes me to a handful of games each season but that’s usually after I wage a war of attrition, which I always eventually win. Incidentally, I find the most effective ammo in my arsenal is a protracted campaign of “can you take us to Mt. Splashmore?” type nagging. But...

He just called to tell me he’s bought us tickets to Saturday’s game! I didn’t even have to ask!

I am SO not gonna put him up for adoption, now. ?

And I thought my sister was bad with FOUR different recycling/waste Bins.

I shall not judge her so harshly.

What is your son saving the planet for ? Not his children or  your grandchildren I don't think !

It's been a pretty great few weeks for us long suffering supporters! Oliver re-signs, Salem re-signs, comprehensively beat the Tigers, undefeated on top of the ladder, Jackson rising star nomination, Petracca re-signs - even Fritsch getting off at the tribunal.

Let's hope this run continues throughout the year and we finally get some reward for our years/decades of heartache.

I’d ask him but I wouldn’t want to put him into the embarrassing situation of not having an answer. ?

I'm pretty excited.
Not thinking premierships but definitely thinking deep into finals.
Boys are playing for each other and enjoying their footy.
Young guns Jackson and Picket coming along in leaps and bounds and looking to be genuine thoopastars of the future.
Key signings without all the usual BS.
Mounting injury list my only fear.
Long term knee for Tomlinson a huge downer.

Can you ask the mods to delete it please.

Wow, I've been using a hair drier for years; on batteries, on circuit boards and on shrink wrapping/ insulation. I don't have any hair so it's been great re-purposing but who would have thought you could find even more uses!

Apologies, I thought you where talking about a hair dryer, oops! Now hair conditioner; I've only been able to repurpose as a lubricant! ..... no you filthy beast, not that kind of lubricant.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
