Thank you DZ! I just watched this three times over and I’m sure if I was to watch it 3000 times over it would still be as moving. ❤️💙

My WhatsApp group all went to bed at half time. Sat downstairs on my own and thought ‘here we go again’. Burst into tears when the siren went. No one to celebrate with but I cried happy tears. So prou

My skills only go as far a YouTube search, some people are very quick with this stuff.

This one is very good, almost had me crying like I did in the movie.

They were both first quarter, and very frustrating, but he learned pretty quickly. He was immense in the last. I love his physicality and contested, competitive buy-in. That was his best game, and pretty much secures him for next week. Well done Tommy! 

One of the aspects of Tom’s game which is not widely recognised is his elite kicking ability: regularly kicks accurately 60+m, on the run or set shot. A great weapon in the positions he will play in the future

The canned laughter should have been played when Cameron and Henderson collided ...either that or the Benny Hill music.

That was the moment where I thought we were going to win.

My 15 year old daughter, who doesn’t normally care for footy at all, had tuned in because of my carrying on. She saw that collision and laughed and said “what the heck?”, to which I replied, “that’s the sort of thing players do when they think they’re about to lose.”

Melbourne was 50 points in front of Essendon in an Anzac Day match in the early 1990's. Northey was the coach. They lost.

You're not thinking of round 6, 1992, when the Dees were up by 41 points at 3QT and still lost? Anyway, yesterday's win puts that out of my mind. It's only taken 29 years...

41 points, not 42...

If that was an Anzac day round you're right. I was driving a taxi that day, tuning in at the Park Street Rank in north Carlton.

Umpiring just seems consistently bad week after week, both the deliberate out of bounds and dangerous tackle rules are being over umpired. I'd just love to watch a game where I don't notice the umpires

But here's the thing I have it from a former VFL/ AFL  umpire who has also run the umpiring at a few different local leagues, that umpires, at the moment would be trying to impress so they get selected for finals/ Grand Final. So what hope do we have?

You'd think they recorded the show at half time on Saturday night

Surely he has to be some form of elaborate troll? Wtf was the comment about Geelong's 'star power'?

Thanks, that is a thing of beauty. Just sent to some cats-supporting rellies.  😀

I especially loved seeing Oliver fly over the top to get to maxy.  The love and passion in this group is special.

 I mentioned to my wife at 3qtr time that the last quarter would be 'interesting' based on the appearance, demeanour and body language of the two teams. I didn't expect the magnificent result but was surprised that Geelong where standing and listening to their coach as individuals in a team of champions and we looked like a champion team, huddled together and buying in to what was being addressed by our coach

It was bizarre. Montagna was the only one making real sense.

Hated that no one pulled him up on it.

    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
