Well this is the most nervous I have been on a game day for a while, not necessarily because of Fremantle but I am a little superstitious and this is my first game since pre covid. If we lose it may well be my only game for the year.

Nice work WCW

what happens to banners after they are used?

have a feeling this one might end up at your house? Imagine having it in your driveway and driving through it everyday 😂

Unfortunately, once used, the banners are scrapped. Not able to be recycled since sticky taped crepe paper. 
With milestone ones such as today’s the pic is saved in case the family of the milestone player wants it. Tmac’s dad jumped on the opportunity. He was v keen  to get this…

Now you’ve opened the floodgates, Dub. Ima tell y’all a story that’ll warm the cockles of your heart. (Be warned: I’ve had two large coffees and a 500ml can of Red Bull. There’s zero chance of shutting me up😁)

So, 

Hunty’s 100th game was our Anzac Eve game. The banner that week was already full of pre-planned content so unfortunately his milestone couldn’t be acknowledged. 

The Army decided to make his milestone banner the following week. It was decided it would be a surprise. Everyone but Jayden knew. Even his mum knew. 

So, on the day, the players all stopped at the banner and looked back at Jayden and Harmesy who were bringing up the rear. Jayden was looking towards the ground. Harmesy tapped his arm and pointed to the banner. Apparently the look on his face was priceless. And this is what he beheld…

His mum also took home the awesome pic.

This week my kids got selected to play Auskick at half time today! And I’ll be alongside them either as a goal umpire or ‘sign holder’ (whatever that means!). 
Not sure who’s more excited , me or the girls!

Let's get behind Melksham:  unforeseen-success-melksham-s-role-in-demons-rise

“I actually didn’t come to Melbourne for finals and flags and stuff like that,” he said....“The club was struggling – or hadn’t had much success...“It’s been awesome.”

While Melksham didn’t receive a premiership medallion in the Demons’ historic 2021 premiership, the role he played in getting the club there should never be underestimated.  And seeing some of his best mates achieve the ultimate is something he is incredibly proud of.

He has been very good for us, not great now but he was key when we needed some silk and experience while our now stars developed around him.  And have now overtaken him.  He should be praised for his role in their development and his role for us.

We are missing a handful of our best, which brings the two teams closer together, but I expect our system to prevail.  
Dees by around 5 goals, I reckon.
I’d love to see a significant improvement in our forward half connections and goal kicking accuracy.

Excited to see us put another team of pretenders to the sword. Had a quick word to the big fella this morning and he tells me it's "...in the bag!"

Don’t you mean the big lady Rev! I hope you are right I am off to the game this afternoon. I think we will miss Langdon , him and Tmac out levels the field a lot.

I am hoping Milkshake puts in a big one for his 200th.

Could not agree more he is still one of the best kicks at the club.

i was one of those anti-milkshake haters during his first season with us

but it was when he was shifted from half-back to half-forward that i became a HUGE fan - think it was defensive effort on jj in the game in which lever did his knee at the docklands carpark that made me admire his workrate, and the goal off two steps in the final vs hawthorn that made me love him

hope he has a ripsnorter today

Freo are a low scoring team as it is so I don’t see them kicking a winning score against us

Our superior talent and forward options to get us through in a low scoring, dour defensive affair

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
