I’d be happy to leave with the four points, not wet to the bone and not crying and not copping abuse from the feral Port fans. Not a big ask. 🤷‍♀️ GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

Are we any good?  [censored] yes we are !

Dees by 27 ! This will include a blinder from Jack Viney and four goals from Kozzie.

 

The Manorial staff all have rather fetching red and blue Bunny outfits for tonight's celebratory after party.

Does anyone know our recent record without May in the side?  I have a mate who always tells me "No May no Melbourne" and has loaded up on Port.  I want to know if there's any truth to it.

I’ve never been to a Power game at Adelaide oval but have a couple of mates who reckon their supporters at home games are the worst in the league. Are there any worse you’ve encountered WCW?

We've banked a couple of regulation wins against ordinary sides which has built confidence and momentum. Port are a step up and will provide a proper examination.

Curtailing butters and rozee is half the battle. Can't give them the freedom of Adelaide Oval this year. If we do we'll pay.

Viney is a champion. He'll put in a big shift on his 200th. Max trac clarry to the fore also. win the midfield battle and limit the amount of ball into our Mayless defence should be the go.

I'm confident as always.

I believe it's something like 4 - 7 or roughly 37% of games

Same or very similar when both Lever & May are out

When he's in, no surprise it's a big turnaround but i can't recall the exact number that was put up.  If my memory serves me correct it was somewhere between 70% - 80% but don't hold me to it.

We need to start looking for a serious replacement pronto.

I'd be taking a good look at Sam Collins from the Suns if we can prise him out (signed to 2025) but he's not a young fella either so still need a medium term replacement. 

Adams was recruited as such so fingers crossed there and hopefully he will come on in the next few seasons at Casey.

In Torquay but will hopefully be back in Melb for the start and a good TV screen. Go Dees.

Torquay might be a bit  backward.  But surely they have good TV reception  no need to drive to town to see the Dee’s

Without May:

2021 - we beat Hawthorn and Adelaide both at the G but they were bottom 6 sides.

2022 - Lost to Sydney and Collingwood both at the G who were top shelf sides that year.

2023 - beat Dogs at the MCG but lost to Brisbane at the GABBA in the first two rounds.

It’s arguably not good.

Nervous and excited about this game 

Port are better than Hawks and dogs.

A real challenge game on an away ground.

We are good enough but will we?

Yes we bloody will.

In a word… NO.

Sure, Collingwood and Carlton and Essendon supporters are bad, but that’s in Melbourne which makes a huge difference. Port supporters are next level feral when you’re on their turf.They have zero qualms about letting you know how [censored] they think your team is… loudly.

LOL… was just chatting to a Dees supporter who was on my flight. As we parted ways he said, “I’ll see you in the trenches.” 😑

    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

    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
