I’ve kept quiet on here since I joined - the nuances of the modern game are so far removed from what I grew up with in early 60’s Melbourne that I feel under-qualified  to comment in depth - but I tru

4 wins Demons 

that is the mindset

Whoever it is, wherever it is played 

It’s 4 wins, get the job done

Work with each other. Challenge each other 

Yep 1 week at a time, but basically that is it.

Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime

I really think port are not as good as their ladder possie indicates.

Even though we did a great job v them at their gome, a finals prospect is different.

So I really hope we can avoid that.

Also think the dogs are a good side but in all honesty rely on a few players more than most teams. Lets be honest they get a lot of free kicks.

The real contenders are playing tonight and i believe one of them will hold up a cup.

So an emphatic win would be great.

It gives us a home final and would put fear into other teams.

Great to have Tmac and May back in.

Also our fwd line has started to click.

This really is a mini gf tonight.

Dees by 33.

It's a glorious day outside so I'm keeping busy with some landscaping until beer o'clock at around 4pm. Then I'll put my feet up and have a look at the warm up act at the Gabba before the main event at KP. How good is it having the best Melbourne side any of us have probably ever seen and knowing they will probably only get better. 

No doubt this is the best Melbourne team in over 50 years and they will get better. Only older players are Gawn, May, TMac & BBB who hopefully all have 2-3 decent years left, then you go Trac, Oliver, Salem, Langdon & Lever will be at their peak over next 5 years, look at youngsters in Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Bowey, Petty, it certainly is exciting times. 
Now is the time to be a Demon supporter, only major issue is I’ve suffered through over 50 years of losses to get here!

Go Demons.

They have 2 of their mainstays missing in Tuohy and Stewart, no crowd support. I also reckon their narrow ground could help our defensive structures. Think we've got this.

It makes it all so much sweeter if we taste success.

A win for me today would be no injuries. 

With Hawkins injured.

Come on... What we are not allowed to say it out loud?

Alight just a mini two hour strain then.

Possibly reported as well.

We either Port in AO or the Lion in a neutral venue. 
that’s the options?

or dogs at a neutral venue if the lions lose to the eagles or win but don't make up the percentage to the dogs

I feel physically sick. Between this game and Covid my anxiety is off the charts.
Need to finish the domestic chores so I can relax with a calming glass of Shiraz.

Somewhat nervous but not too bad yet. Nothing like a good bottle of Red to help calm the nerves.

    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.

    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
