The Demons face an in-form Blues who have won their last seven games on the trot and have another Top 4 scalp in their crosshairs. A win for the Demons will consolidate their position in the Top 2 keeping the dream of a home final alive whilst a loss could see them back in 4th place. GameDayRd222023.png

My blue-bagger mates are very confident. I’m also noticing a few neutrals making the call that the Blues will be the come-out-of-nowhere premiers this year.  We need to put a hush to this malarke

Taking my 71 year old Mum from Perth to the game tonight. Hard not to think she’ll bring us good luck. Last time she saw the Dees play was the 2021 Grand Final at Optus Stadium.

Sometimes I need to remind myself to enjoy the moment we are in as a football club. What an amazing point in time where we can go about our Saturday knowing we are one of the premiership favourites go

This weekends Revised Rules

Beware of wonky ball bounces in the centre being called play on.

Marks have to be held for just that little bit longer. Might as well call everything play on.

Short kicks are to be paid.. Short kicks are to be called play on. That was the rule from being paid first half to being not paid second half. Go figure.

We’ll beat Carlton. 

We’ll apply even more pressure on Carlton than we did on Collinwood in Rd13.  

ANB is on the rise… It looks like he’s in great shape and has a lot of energy. He might have an opportunity to shine in this year's final series.

Go Dees!

A win by any amount is good, 30 plus would be great, and no injuries!

Hoping to see Grundy play well, kick a goal and be a great support to Max.

I compare the teams and feel we should have the covered in the middle, down back and forward! Curnow, Weitering and Cripps are guns, but they are missing a few and we should bat deeper.

Go Demons!!

Blues are playing well and are full of confidence. They'll have a crack at us for sure.

But there's no MFCSS here. We'll building towards September with the bit between our teeth. We'll get the job done.

Delighted to have Clarry back in the team.

Would love to see Gawndy contribute 3-4 goals.

20-point win for us in a hard-fought affair in front of a big crowd

Go Dees

Watched most of the Cats and Pies game with the volume off last night. Dropping the ball and throws are pretty much legal tender in this game now.

You can drop it, but try to get a toe to it and miss when being tackled and you're pinged. 

AFL is a strange game at times.

Hope we stamp our authority on the competition tonight. I want to be at the G watching us pound the pies into oblivion late September. I want to see us win a flag in the flesh.

Go Matilda's, Go Dees

Ten minutes into the last - Judd McVee channels his inner Mary Fowler and hits a running Petracca on the chest, with a perfectly weighted, long pass who then kicks truly from 50. We go 30 points up and extend our 8 game winning streak over Carlton.

I’d prefer if McKay was playing. 
This would create more predictability for our gun talls to defend. 
 

Their smalls have me a little concerned, but, we could just as easily win this by 40 points.

I think we have set ourselves for this one.  It is the start of our ‘23 tilt.  Listening to Goodys presser, he sounds like he wants the finals like pressure to really get our campaign underway.  Including the Ginger Ninja and Big Reg shows we are wanting to get things in order for the finals.

Blues are up and about but are ripe for the taking tonight.  We bring the heat and control the territory game and I think we win.  If they go with us, 20 point win.  If they fall away - 50 point win.

Dees by 30, to establish themselves as the ‘real  deal’ for anyone who currently doubts their credentials.  September is coming, and so are the Dees!

What a great place to be from 5pm. You get to go to G, have a chat with mates, go to the Robbie Flower Terrace and have a drink and watch the Matildas and get inspired and then watch some footy with the greatest player I have seen back from injury. 

Times like this I hate being 700kms away from the best city on the planet.

Ditto in Wollongong. Us in another close one but oh the joy on ending Carlton's winning streak.

How will the midfield line up? Ollie on the ball or JV

Petracca forward

Grundy forward and running contest to contest

Who's on Curnover

I hope the Melbourne faithful turn out for this one. Carlton supporters will be flocking in and I just hope our supporters show up as well. Should be a cracking game.

I wonder how fit Clarry will be. I hope he's cherry ripe and racks up his usual forty so Trac can play forward.

Time for the Dees to serve up a Lasagna Petracca with an Oliver on top for 70K tonight !

We will get the job done over these pretenders. Any talk about a Blues Flag will be sent down the Rivers...

We May have a slow start but will pull the Lever after HT and Van Ruin the Blues day !

Half way through the last, their fans will be Gawn.

Seriously?

You would go to a footy match you weren’t going to, because the Matilda’s are on the  big screen, when they are on free to air TV. 

Don’t think so.

    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
