To-do list:

  1. Parkrun - check. Got a good time for an older bloke so smugly bragging about it to family
  2. Voting - check. Had a good chat to a local independent candidate who has no chance of winning but is giving it a crack which I admire greatly.
  3. Minestrone soup - in the slow cooker
  4. Clean out the carport gutters, and desludge the bathroom u-bends - TBC after lunch

Then plonk in front of the footy and hopefully:

  1. Ben Brown to kick 10, while smiling and enjoying himself.
  2. Gawn, Petracca and Oliver to take a back seat while Sparrow and Jackson tear the Roos apart. 
  3. Pickett and Spargo to cause havoc.
  4. Postgame, get onto Demonland and enjoy gloating about being the best team in the league
  5. Watch whatever game is in TV, knowing neither of the teams is as good as us. Yes, more gloating.

Funny, a lot of North supporters are also planning to desludge their bathroom u-bends, starting from just before 4:30.

Sensing a frustrating game coming up. North to be with 20 points at time and us to win by 35

Although if we are switched on, under the roof and kick straight it could be messy

i think I’ve made myself clear

After too many beers last night I sludged my U-bend earlier!

The margin will be determined by the level of intensity and pressure the roos bring, and if that level is acceptable how long they can maintain it.

I am extremely confident we will bring our minimum base level of intensity of pressure.

So  If they don't bring it, or do but only for say the first half, then a 100 point hammering is on the cards.

I've voted  - postal vote.

Preparing lentil soup, may sit outside in the sun after that and do the cryptic crossword.

Not going to the match .... hate Doglands and have a commitment tonight (see below). I'm predicting a woeful attendance ... 25,000 is my guess.

Attend Don's Party tonight. (The younger folk in this forum won't understand this reference.)

Hey…

Guess who’s making her banner raising debut today???

I’ll give y’all a clue: ME!

Peeps at the match look out for me. I’ll be the horizontal one, as opposed to the vertical ones, ie the ones who AREN’T lying on the turf having just tripped over.

Don’t tell anyone 🤫 but it has a massive NARRM logo (all of which I cut out!) on one side and a montage of BBB pics (none of which I was allowed near) on the reverse side, and it says Ben Brown 150 Huge Games (!!!!)

Again, Dub, don’t tell a soul!

Ok, who's going to tell WCW about the mistake in the banner? Hopefully she's just written the wrong word on demonland 😅

Might be difficult to take a pic while lying on the turf but I’ll try my damndest. That’s if I can comfortably hold my phone with rope-burnt hands. Again, damndest.  👍🏽

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
