The Demons have a fantastic opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the competition in a Friday Night 3rd vs 4th Blockbuster at the MCG by defeating a contender in the Brisbane Lions and creating a buffer for themselves in the Top 4.

I'm feeling good vibes about Kozzie tonight. Performs well against the Lions, in fact he's kicked more goals on them than any other team.

Disagree. My take is, much like the Pies match, this is a target game for us. Meaning we will have freshened up, and even with a six day break, will be running over the ground better than we have

Not at all confident. 
 

Clearly we all know the contest is where it’s all gonna have the most impact against the Lions. 
Question is which part of the ground?

with Petracca out of the guts and down forward more we really need to trust that the new group of mids will get the job done. Sparrow, Rivers Jordon et al are seasoned bodies and should physically match it with the Lions. 
But of course, after that there’s skill level…. and whether we have enough of that I’m not so sure. 
 

Draw somewhere in the 65 point range.

Righto gang, not braggin' - just statin'. 

Enjoying an Aperol whilst killing time. Overnight ferry Brindisi to Corfu.

1020h game time in Grecia. I'll be listening (sun too bright to watch) and reading. 

Don't let me down guys. Saints coverage not bad. Hardly a Michaelangelo picture of the game but ...

Go Dee's ... happy to get the 4 points but 2 from JvR and Kossie would be nice.

Melbourne ... M. Gawn ... 3 votes.

It's going to be a perfect night weather wise. no excuses for fumbling

Looking forward to watching the BB/JVR combo in action. Reckon they'll kick 6-7 goals between them with Trac chipping in with a couple.

Lower the eyes boys. Lower the eyes.

I have belief and reckon we'll win by 25 points.

Go Dees

Ah Corfu, check out the cricket pitch in the middle of the town. Bizarre!

What a game this will be.

Brisvegas are looking to gain street cred at The G and we must win to solidify a top four spot. 

Our defence must restrict them. A repeat of last week's form from May would be handy and we must keep a leash on Charley.

I reckon Petracca will spend more time at centre bounces and tonight's finals like game will draw the best from Viney.

Our forward line is the question mark. Someone must lead the way with a four goal haul. It's a huge test for JVR but hopefully BBB will snag one early and drag the heat. A return to form from Kozzie and we're certainties!

Friday night games make for a very painful trek from The Manor. Could someone please confirm whether or not  Dynon Road is fully functional?

The Manor's in house diviner has predicted Dees by 19.

Big stage Friday night, the streets are watching Kozzie the time is now to unleash the fury. 

Time to send a message, a timely  reminder to the player haters that we are playing for keeps this year.

One, that would mean rubbing shoulders ( Urgh ) with plebeians - a fate to be avoided at all costs.

And two .... most horribly .... the terrifying probability  of the train picking up neanderthals at St. Albans!

No, I shall travel in one The Manor's comfortable fleet in far better company.

Hope we win in the ruck - no Grundy may change the psyche of Max

Max has struggled with tall, gawky ruck opponents in the past

Limit the influence of Neale and that other young kid (whose name escapes me - looks fairly suited to owning a long sword and drinking mead)

Confidence is low, but optimism is high.

I love and hate Friday night games for this reason. Win and the weekend is set up. Lose and you'll be annoyed for the rest of the weekend.

Hey! We ARE NOT neanderthals  here in snorbs. Meth heads? Yes. Shoplifters? Yes. People who sleep in other people’s toss-out? Sometimes. But we’re NOT Neanderthals! 

Besides, replacement buses on our line ended last night, we’re back to first-world travel!

Frees up a tonne of time though. No footy shows, no newspapers, no online articles etc. 😭

    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.

    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
