Now proud to call him a son of a Melbourne Brownlow Medalist 

He’s now on my ‘I wanna hate him but I can’t’ list, dagnabbit.

My iphone overheated  when Daicos put Pies in front. I had to turn the radio volume right down but it made no difference. Noise when Pies kick a goal is deafening. Imagine being out there on the bloody ground!

Definitely helps Collingwood win games.

They never give up.

QB we need a hard tag on ND. i don’t care what people say you can’t have a bloke sit off the play and collect forty 95% uncontested possessions. 

i do not subscribe to the idea that you cannot curtail that for an uncontested player. 

bring in Harmes. he will smash it

Wonder if Nick ever wakes in the middle of the night to see Josh standing over his bed staring at him.

End of Round 6.

Dees have most points for, and 6th fewest against.   Pies and Bombers dropped significant % today. 

Doesn't mean much at present but leaves a nice feeling till at least Saturday evening.

Sorry to disappoint but Cats have us covered by 2 points for highest scoring team.

Makes last week look not too bad…. Bombers have worked out the pies - pressure pressure pressure, no corridor opportunities.  Have to be able to go HARD FOR 4 QTRS to beat either of these teams.

That aged well.  Pies lifted, Bombers crumbled.

Collingwood outright premiership favourites for me.

Nick Daicos unfolding in front of our eyes is just pure greatness. 

Premierships aren’t won in April mate. I still think our games matches well with theirs.

What is even more worrisome is that they have gears. They can turn it on when they need to win games or just stay in cruise control to preserve their bodies.

 

Yep.

They're next level. Hurts me saying this but I honestly enjoy watching them play. So exciting with their brand of footy and admire McRea for turning this club around on field.

Yup. 

Port tried to tag him, (the port bloke didn’t do a great job) and what it showed is Daicos is QUICK from a standing start. Goes from 0-100 in a couple steps. 

Whoever tags him needs to wear him like a glove and be physical. 

Even then, he only needs 10 minutes and  he can take the game away from you. Unreal player.

if he is that quick you can get a smart tagger to, at times sit off, goal side a couple of metres. tagging is a skill that is under-utilised in footy. most times ND gets it he is on his own. it’s staggering

No it doesn't 🤣 especially on form alone.

They've had the absolute wood over us over the last 5 years. One of our now bigger bogey teams.

We have only Salem who's best 22 to come back into our team whilst they have Adams, Murphy, Lipinski, Howe, Cameron and McStay.

Their upside is enormous compared to ours.

Either of those boys would run rings around him, so NO, the Lions and Bombers to a large extent except in the last quarter, showed how to play them and it's simple if you are disciplined, it's not the first possession that matters it's the follow up possessions that hurt you, forgetting who's who the one that kicks out then runs on for the take disposal and the next one what you have to do is position yourself so he cannot do that the other one hangs back from the contest or he starts to run in thus his opponent goes with him and then he backs out and becomes a free man, all it needs is that one player at a contest stays with him it does not have to be one person and thats called discipline.

We’re second in points for - Geelong have 2 points more than us.

lol "it's simple" no one can even understand your run-on sentence let alone enact it on a footy field.

I know this is not ground breaking stuff, but the pies supporters are next level. Every time the camera cut to the crowd, middle fingers a plenty.. 

Commodore circle work tonight & Woodstock bourbon cans for that lot.

    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.
