if the individual game stream doesn't work, go to 'live channels' and click the 'fox footy' button

something definitely gone skew-whiff in their individual game stream set-up today; must've been pointing to the wrong feed

Our pressure was good all game. Some better  performances this week from several regulars including Scott, Hore and Bannan.  Goldie was excellent today.  Magee looked lost out there and Brown was tired.  Hoping Lampard is ok for the Lions game and that Purcell is not far away.

Btw loving Harris up forward.

Thought we played well other than goal-kicking. Pressure up and some players finding form which is positive

L Pearce, Mithen, Paxy, Goldy, West and Hanks best. Harris took some strong grabs. And she loves hurting people. Leading goal kicker in the comp now I think

McNamara uncharacteristically quiet but she’s been great all year

GWS very very limited

We’ve beaten who’ve we had and have the 5 wins on the board but the going gets tough from here. Huge test against the Lions next week. That game will show us whether we’re genuine contenders or not

Go Dees

Again a good last quarter. I thaught our defence was excellent today. I t will be better with Lampard back in. I thaught Lauren Pearce was our best player but i would like to mention West as well. She was in everyting. Her and Lilly Mithen are a pair of Jack Russells.

I wonder if it was related to tjhe game time being shifted.

Someone forgot to update the automatic starter?

In that case, I believe someone should tell them that next week’s blockbuster v Brisbane has also had a date and time change.

* Note: The way things are going there could be further time changes so check with this Demonland at the weekend.

There is something wrong with our kicking for goal. I know it is windy but there is at least 5 points that should have been goals so far in the game. 

Same last week. Game was alive with 5 min to go when it should have been iced at 3/4 time.

If we miss a flag this year it could be down to loose goal kicking.

Yep, goal kicking practice needs to be a priority for the rest of the season.

Pretty tough conditions I wouldn't want to be playing in 30 degree heat with a swirling wind. Fatigue has to be a factor.

There's going to be some very sad faces if we make finals but lose.... with our shots at goal being quite unacceptable. Generally we are not overly skilled in the kicking area around the ground too. It's up to the individual players to work much harder on foot disposal. Other teams have keenly addressed this but we are yet to enjoy improved scoring %'s. Quite happy with the W though, well done girls.

    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.
