Hey all, Been a long time follower of the demonland forum and decided to sign up to tell my Dee's story. I live in rural WA, in 2000 I saw these 2 West Aussies, Farmer and Woewodin, tearing it

Currently watching the Demons vs the Cats in round 23. It's only 3 quarter time but it's not looking good as we're down by 32 points.  I'll let you know how we go.

There is a tradition on Dland that you report on the snacks available when you are visiting a different ground.

well, I played golf at Quinta Do Lago here in Portugal this morning and the bacon and egg rolls were sensational….. I would give them a strong 9.

Go Dees. We will win by 4 goals going away.

I’m finding the expectation of winning is creating the anxiousness. 

It’s not going to be a very productive work day. I won’t be able to sit still, for some reason I feel the need to clean the house at moments like this - the wife will love it. 

Add to that Zoom meetings / home schooling and a  jogs to get through the day. 

Hope you all can enjoy the day (somehow) and we have something to celebrate in the evening.

Kozzy to light it up 🔴🔵

I have a sneaking suspicion that Jones will be the medical sub tonight. I known there shouldn't be sentimentality when it comes to selection but it would be a nice send off to have Jones out there on the ground for the granny should we make it. Wouldn't have thought he would be any less of a contributor than Jordon either.

It's impossible not to be nervous. Many of us have spent 40, 50, 60 even 70 years riding every bump of this club. I'm convinced this is our best shot.

Up until this point, we've been the best team in it. But that, of course, means bugger all if you if you are even five percent off your game.

I think Geelong know we're the best team in it too. As a result an experienced team like theirs will do everything to pull us back to their level. All those finals appearances playing the best in the comp you surely learn something? All those dirty little tactics aimed at unsettling their opponents. All the mind games, the little one-percenters designed to even up the contest.

Can we handle the occasion? Will our gameplan stand-up? How hard will be prepared to go to get what we want?

I know when we play surge football no one can stop us. I'd love us to crack the game open early. Convert every opportunity. Have a really convincing lead by half time and then cruise into the granny!

I think we will.

I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do if we make it. 2 weeks of build up is enormous. 

The last 4 matches have been decided by a kick in the last 60 odd seconds and the one before that was a final. Take about modern day rivalry.

I'm so pumped I could run through a brick wall. I can only imagine how the players feel.

On an unrelated topic I have some chicken thighs, skin on and bone in, brining in a hot sauce and Italian dressing mix to go on the smoker this afternoon. Chicken and salad for dinner sounds divine, beautiful weather up here in north east Victoria and we are out of lockdown so I might to to duck in for a sneaky schooie

Oh Goody, it’s game-day. And we all know what that means, don’t we boys and girls!

Pfft, feeling relaxed and being able to concentrate on work is overrated anyways. 🙄

Besides, I quite enjoy feeling nauseous. It’s fast becoming my favourite pastime.

LET’S DO THIS, DEES!!!

Just noticed this in The Age:  “There is no doubt that it comes down to execution, but sometimes there are some benefits in not knowing what is in front of you, not having some of the scars that are associated with prelim finals,”  Goodwin said.

Goodwin now playing mind games!  Very subtle.  Adding to their mental pressure.  Not usually his style.  But, love it!!

Dees by 3-4 goals!!

3 dozen unshucked Pacific oysters being picked up this morning.

Might go a WA Chenin blanc and my favourite beer, weisenstaphner pilsner, a bottle of Paxton biodynamic cab sav for the second half and of course a cheese plate will do.

Go Dees. Geez I'm toey

Their 2-9 record in preliminary finals is atrocious in the last 18 years. Like good on them for putting them self in the position to make a grand final every year but [censored] they clearly have mental demons taking that leap to make it through. 

Demons by 47 tonight, cats completely cooked by half time for mine.

    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.
