Because the Lions are so hard to beat on their own deck, this would be the first time this year when the Demons aren’t favourites with the bookies. This is the best time for us to defy the odds,

Flew into Coolangatta last night, 25 degree day up here. Now, looking out at the sun nudging above the horizon on the Coral Sea at Currumbin 15 storeys up. About to go for a run around Burleigh Heads

Stuck in a hospital bed after a (minor) mishap yesterday.  A win tonight, by a big enough margin to grab 2nd spot, will be just the tonic I need.  Go Dees!

I’m about to head over to the Pineapple as well! I’m staying down the road at Bates Motel. 😳 I wish I was kidding. This place is a little creepy now in daylight. I imagine it’ll be scary af in the dark tonight. Good times.

Hey, where are you(s) all (lol) watching the match?

I previously posted that I was watching the match at the Sporting Globe in Richmond to which I received zero response ... 😭

 

I was thinking of going to the sporting globe in Geelong, if that helps

Anyone else?

I do believe we are more than capable of stitching Brisbane a brand new one.   We are more than good enough. We should win easily. And last year changed my outlook, we can be a great side,  but almost 50 years of MFCSS is very much ingrained.

This is the start of the Finals,  just gunna sit next to the box and watch    Good Luck Dees   not really needed  Make your own Luck.

Game has tightened up with the bookies. Fritta is due for a bag and Kossie to star tonight.

This is one of the predictions I would make up.

But I do believe that about Frittata and Kozzie... well he is just getting better and better every day.

I'm calling out Trac and Max to have a big influence as well.

Charlie Cameron COULD win it with just 4 kicks if the ball hits the deck which it seems to be doing more often recently.

I don't know about Kossie but Fritsch needs to kick 3+ or we're stuffed

I went to the Bentleigh club once about 7 years ago to watch a game and was told to be quiet by some old duck when yelling out go Max.

It was all too quiet and lacked any atmosphere. 

Not fussed we sold it and just at the peak of the market.

Good job.

Let's hit our peak form tonight and keep winning all the way until we our celebrating back to back flags in person at the G this year.

Now that's an idea! I have a full bottle of Finlandia - is it any good? Might be a pleasant change from the old Bundy and Coke. The nerves certainly think it is warranted. Advice, please....

Its not bad, and isnt one of Vladimirs

Either of our players you mentioned could do likewise. Maybe milkshake will do it again.

But I think it will bbb who leads the goal scoring bw both clubs.

I’ve known it since it was Spargo’s. Just around the corner from where I used to live. Enjoy the game.

I hope you live near Geelong...otherwise it would be cheaper to get a months kayo as opposed to driving that far with petrol prices as they are.

I have Kayo and in Wollongong it's on free to air.

I'll watch it hopefully not curled up in the foetal possie.

I was wondering when I listened to a game on the radio last.

We are so spoiled for choice compared to 40 years ago...the only tv telecast was match of the round.....usually cwood.

But if I dint go to the G as a teenager....listening on the radio seemed fun and while one often had no idea what was really going on at times ...wherevthe ball was etc.....it was still enjoyable.

Weird that every game was played on a sat for the most part.

Imagine that now. How much more work I would actually do.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
