We’re not a flat track bully team. System, process, structure. I expect a similar outcome to last week. Adelaide will challenge us but we’ll keep them at arm’s length and win by a comfortable, re

First and foremost respect the opposition. Being our intensity from the start, I’d like to see us start a match well for a change.  I want to see Petracca at his best today, he’s having a good ye

I've not seen that clip before, but I am appalled that anyone would think that roughing up a player well off the ball (injured or not) is a mark of a team standing up.  Spirit of the game? Why not use a machine gun and do it properly.  Some of these blokes belong in the Juarassic (when there were no humans).

The last one they showed at 2:11 should be a free but the rest were fine, part of the niggling that goes on throughout a game. The problem is there should've been Melbourne players protecting him instead of letting the Crows get stuck into him.

Out of my only couple of visits to Adelaide, the only thing that stuck in my mind (apart from Le Club Foote where I saw the Bachelors From Prague), was that visiting Rundle Mall felt like being on the set of Deliverance.

You might have to explain what deliverance was about to the younger members Hardtack

A little tired of saying this but I hope we play a big first quarter today. I accept it might not be the game plan (“absorbing” seems to be the direction) but I’d just like to see we’re capable of it.

Spot on! Which eventually would start a melee, umpires get worried they are going to lose control of the game. Next time it happens they’ll pay a free to Max before it boils over.

I wonder if the 'wo-hoo after every goal' guy will be there today? ?

I hope all Demonlanders who are there today engage in a "woo-hoo-hoooo" after each goal, get it ringing around the ground

Haha, that too, obviously ?

I was meaning (if it wasn't clear) the guy who does the loud "wo-hoo" after the crowd has quietened down a bit after a goal. You can often hear it on the TV broadcast for our games at AO

First game of the year truely at the oppositions interstate home ground. Important to get a strong start unlike most other games we have played and give them no crowd support or confidence. Feels like the type of game where you have one eye on next week already but hope not the case. Hoping we continue our full team defence focus, get some dominance back at the clearances and Weid takes his chance.

Salem out.

damn. presuming yr source is right, and not sure if it’s a serious injury,  but if not it’s a good opportunity to see how we play without him against a team in the lower half. We get a chance to find alternatives. He’s been close to our most important player this year and sooner or later clubs will move to blanket him. Gives us an opportunity to experiment.

In saying that, he’ll be massively missed.

I’m confident. Not arrogant, but confident.

We have a habit on the ‘land to not give much time to journalists or their opinions. However, there is one who has changed his tune to being a staunch backer of ours. He never really laid in the boots ala Sellers McLure, but he’s NEVER given us a wrap in the 20 odd years he’s been in the media.

That man is Jason Dunstall.

Even when we looked like we were lucky not to have pooed the bed against North, he was emphatic that we did what all good teams do: find a way to win and dig ourselves out of a hole. He was just as down the line when he said that last week’s win was business-like. 

If this were Derm, I’d roll my eyes as it’d be dressed up in a word salad that would obscure any decent points he might have made.

I trust the Pig’s judgement. He’s no fool.

Salem out? That’s a very late call out of seemingly nowhere. Illness?

Slight injury, possibly groin, hopefully precautionary.

    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

    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.
