“Those 3 first round picks we gave off for Cameron looking mighty good for a rebuild about now.”

🙂 44 points down Bombers. Good teams can come back from there.

Not enough injuries.

Glad we dodged the Port bullet.

Totally unfair to have teams have no Home Ground advantage but QLD and SA teams do. Should have both Prelims in Perth / especially since GF will be there.

That man is not a real bad substitute 

Yes, Powell-Pepper came on and executed very well. However, need to keep it in perspective. At that stage of the game Geelong were cooked, it was like stealing candy from a baby stout from a pensioner.

Cry me a river [censored]-cats... Seriously though, talk about creating a culture of failure. A supposedly star-studded team once again fails miserably to look convincing in the finals series, despite their awful "track-record" of gaining frees incessantly, and for an illegitimate reasons...

 

 

…. and getting away with at least a dozen throws a game.

Watch Toby Greene do something silly and get reported!

But the “star of the game GW$ / Sydney / Geeling  finals exemption”  would be invoked

Aside from Duncan getting touches on HB, the Cats were horrible! Selwood ineffectual with 17. Danger average. Henderson with one of the worst ever games I’ve seen. 

should have been an 80 point win but for the umps going 20-8 before evening it up and Port being inaccurate 

what a beautiful thing. 

Port are good. High pressure, good contested ball with quality outside run. We will have to beat them to win the flag and I think we will

Cats to play Swans or Giants who have both accounted for Geelong this year.

They were lucky the umps stopped them being blown away.

Quite possible out next week.

Morning footy news check - done.

 A few comments while reading through Demonland - check.

2 hours of meditative relaxing via mowing, weeding, sweeping - check.

Cheese platter purchased for tonight's game - check (yep, we decided to do it to shove it right up all the "to-the-snow-in-September" trolls)

My dearly departed dad was a mad Swannies man, so I sit down to watch them take on gws - AND IT DOESN'T START UNTIL 3.30PM!! I hate all the pre-game drivel. So with coffee in hand, Demonland up and active, I now have to listen to Cameron Ling for an hour! At least Daisy is good to listen to.

The old adage a weeks a long time in footy...

Cats were almost eight goals up at home with a minor premiership in their sight but now they face gws or swans who have both beaten them.

I find re-watching the final 47 seconds of last weeks game is a great way to kill time

I still believe that Port have a soft underbelly. They have some pretend tough guys. If we play them at some stage I think we should target Butters and Roezee physically. We are better than them!

    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.
