As much as I'd love to just smash the same clubs again next year, it would be nice to see WB & Port drop out of the 4 or 8 this year, and a few other challengers step up. We might look back on the first 5 weeks as a breeze. And play the real premiership contenders later on. Hopefully what we do to them will be so spirit crushing, that we effectively end both their seasons before they even begin. I don't think a club that relies on the ageing Boak, Jonas, Gray & Dixon has much left in its legs. And as for the Dogs, if Libba decides to not mentally turn up (again), then they're already gone.

And the umps clamp down on their ducking.

Hard to see where we lose a game

That really sucks, thanks AFL for thinking of all the Demon country members that have to travel 4 hours to see the unfurling of the flag and then work Thursday  Money hungry grubs

The only good thing about next years fixture is we don't have to play this years premiers.

Disagree.  The dogs should be better as E Wood has retired, with hindsight at the end of the prelim. Worst defensive performance in a GF since Ray Boyanich.

No doubt they should be better and its a long shot, but I'm just hoping they suffer a string of bad luck. Lose a few close contests early in the season, get smashed a few times and drop their heads and give up. And have players like Libba, McRae, Hunter and Brighton-Mullet severely out of form, and end up with 3-5 wins heading into the bye and never catch up.

I'd rather play interstate teams away and play Vic clubs at home. Better for the finances and better atmosphere at games (especially if we're winning).

Well, all things being equal obviously better finances and atmosphere are a good thing. But the reality is to win premierships (which in itself leads to higher membership/better finances/better home crowds, apart from the pleasure of actually winning) you need to mazimise your wins. Inarguably it's easier to win at home, especially against interstate teams than it is away, which leads to a better ladder position, home finals, double chances etc.

And just to save someone responding, I know if I was a true supporter I should be saying the harder the draw the better, give us 22 games away, we're the premiers and invincible, every other team is crap compared to us, yadda yadda yadda....

It is a refreshing change for us to only play teams that finished below us in 2021, instead of the all too familiar only playing teams above us 🤗🤗🤗❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

If and it’s a big IF, Essendon can knock off Geelong (MCG) and Brisbane (Marvel) in the opening fortnight, I can see 65,000 for our round 3 Friday night game. This would effectively almost compensate for losing the QBDay gate this year.

Ofcourse that’s dependent on us starting the year in good fashion.

 

Probably more like 75,000 I would think if Bombers win one of their games.

    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.
