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!

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.

glad Melky got a chance to prove himself

He certainly and surprisingly embraced it like I've never seen.

Hope he plays with the same gusto tonight. 

Gee last week's game was dominated by scoring opportunities from centre clearances.

I hope we get completely on top of these.

I know it's a big call but if Milk can ii feel all things are possible.

Bbb picked up his form in the later stages of the game and you are right he's been struggling but it's not like he has another big body like Tnac to help him out or wear down the opposition's defence.

In Demons heartland tonight -- Mt Martha. 

I hope to hear a collective "BRAVO, CHAPS" ring out through the trees at approx 10:20pm tonight.

Listen out for the 'Just kick it' cry, which is the song of the mcc member dove.

What type of flowers get the brownie points on the Deever household?

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 ... 😭

 

Upstairs sports bar at the Casino has a good atmosphere. I’d be there if I wasn’t unwell

Serious? I must have missed it! I was going to go to friends in Seaford but now just watching at home, if I saw this earlier I would have wandered down!

I mean I still could..

Usually the cheep ones eem to work so I won't argue. I always say it's the thought even if I don't really put much into it.

Mrs Deevers easily pleased and truth be told probably grateful she can watch her Netflix series without being bothered. Its win win.

If I'm having mates over I'll kick in an extra 15 for roses which means I may even be served some franks and the odd "can I get you another beer my love" ( Please keep any responses clean., )😃

Sometimes I close the deal with chocolates or even better a bottle of Bailey's.

Speaking of responses....flowers are charming and candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.

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. 

Swamp out the back?  If a fender is spotted, time to panic

Great stuff. Got it down to a perfect system.

Surely not. Worst case just plonk him in the goal square and give the reigns to Jackson.

As far as team sheets go there's no late changes.

    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
