I've been waiting for us to play Geelong in Geelong since Geelong came into the competetion.  Casey may as well be on the other side of the planet from here. I'll be there with my three girls, hoping for another impressive display.  

Hey VC, your daughters are welcome to come to us pregame to grab a flag or other prop to wave during the match. They don’t have to sit with us, as long as anything borrowed is returned postgame. You just need to approach any one of us in the first couple of rows of the cheer squad pregame. 👍🏽❤️💙🙂

Only the posts I choose to show her. 😁

Pauline is my second-best DA bestie, only don’t ever tell her that, she thinks she’s #1 😂

Not sure if it’s public yet, but they’re the changes.

Thanks for that.  Rapt that Gabby Colvin gets a run.

At the risk of pushing the friendship, do you know what the story is with young Georgia Campbell  ? Injured, managed, dropped  ?

Georgia’s omission is not form-related, our guess is Mick is going smaller vs Geelong.

Also really happy for Gabby.

PS: friendship not even slightly nudged let alone pushed. 😁

Campbell stuff, she's been great. But I can understand Colvin ahead of her as a senior member of the team.

[BDA 22,743]

Campbell has been very good this season so far. She’s an excellent long term prospect.

Good to see Colvin make in the side after that long term injury. Hopefully she can find her rhythm quickly.

Gosh even the girls have to go down to that place.

I would stick with Campbell at the moment. Form has been good and a big reason Pearce has been playing good footy...

I’m down from Tamworth so my son and I will be there😊

Yes, this is true. Haven’t even played them in a practice match. And it’s not liked they’ve just joined the comp, they joined in 2019.

edit: this is the closest we’ve been to playing them…

😂

Another AFL conspiracy on that tin. 

Why do the cats players have two footys in play? Unfair advantage for sure.

Is their a Melbourne Milo?

Has a better ring to it.

Fair. It's a tough call either way.

We like borrowing your flags etc for the Perth based games, really good. The query I have, is when are they going to get rid of the nets behind the goals during games, really makes us not want to sit with the cheer squad.  Maybe the cheer squad to locate to the pocket as a group when in Perth.  This years game is at mineral resources park for the first time, so not sure of the best sitting possies.  Fremantle oval sucks.

Love the DeeBrief AFLW, best in-depth look at AFLW Dees out there!

They mentioned that the Dees Army are looking for kids for the Guard of Honour on Thursday night, as an FYI for anyone heading down with kids who'd like to take part.

Thank for the inside word. Glad for Colvin - she was our best on in the S6 GF and I really hope she can recapture that form. It can be a tough injury to come back from. As for the outs, I've got a feeling that the 3-4 next cabs off the rank outside the starting line-up are going to prove crucial.

The nets at most grounds are only up during warmups for goal-kicking practice. But sometimes at the smaller grounds they’re left up for the match, and despite a much lower chance of being hit by a ball, we don’t like having to watch the game through them. As for moving to a pocket or a wing, at away games we don’t get to choose where we sit as a cheer squad.

When I find out the relevant info re Mineral Resources Park I’ll post it here on DL.

[DubDee 25,839]

Have never seen the Demons play better, more fluid football and we are still as tough as around the ball.  No-one can stop Harris, Bannan, Hore and Zanker.

Why the season is not at least 14 games long is a disgrace. They hurried 18 teams in too quickly so there are too many one sided matches and 7 teams you dont even play each year!

For anyone who has children who’d like to participate in the Guard of Honour-

Where: GMHBA Stadium, meet at Gate 10 (Ambulance Race) – there will be a Melbourne staff member there.

When: Meet at 5:35pm
Head out onto the ground at 5:50pm, with the team running out onto the ground at 6:04pm.  

Guard of Honour will conclude at approx. 6:15pm, with the participants returned to the Gate 10 meeting spot.

Outfit: As much red and blue as possible!

 

Also, the Demon Army will be sitting in Bay A28 in the Charles Brownlow Stand.

Wow WCW - the ins are as good as the outs.   What a team we have 

[Return to Glory 8,435]

I'm assuming the umpiring at Deliverance Park will be as horrendous for our women as it is for the men?

Wait, they've just announced the game day ump:

Hamstring awareness  / slight strain according to the club's website.  They are hopeful she just misses the one match
