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 😂

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1
