I’ll be at Gosch’s today to watch training. Hopefully *someone else is there and a proper training report will be submitted. I won’t be talking to the boys today, I’m sure the last thing they need is a certified nuffie annoying the bejesus out of them. ☹️

*what a shame Kev had to 86 Demonland.

The weather yesterday and today is a reflection of how we are feeling here in Demonland.

Not me!!! I love winter. The colder the better. Don’t love Sunday’s result, but not giving up so easily on our team.

Don't mind the cold but hate the rain.

Dagnabbit I’m already here. I mean, I have to go to the Demon Shop, but I could’ve done that before the match on Sunday. They clearly decided to change the venue, maybe due to Sunday’s debacle. Oh well I might watch Collingwood train on the other oval here. Dontchya hate it when you are likely gonna see Maynard but forgot to bring a baseball bat?!

 

JK I’m not condoning violence by any stretch. But if I did, y’all would set up crowd funding to post bail for me, right? 😁

full on training with plenty of physicality

Thanks CF, that makes sense. Doesn’t apply to Fritta though, he hasn’t worn a mouthguard since playing in the juniors and that was only because they made him wear one. Silly bugger.

In case anyone is wondering, they’re not at Casey Fields either. Maybe they’ve found one huge naughty corner. 😩

Haha that's funny...really Fritta doesn't wear mouth guard?  Geez he's asking for trouble isn't he, thought he would have learned from Jackson getting his mouth all smashed up.

He refuses to wear one, much to his parents’ and girlfriend’s chagrin. I think it’s coz it makes him gag 🤷‍♀️

I was of the same mindset  in my teenage years and the regret was profound after attempting to take a Russell Robertson type ‘hanger’ , losing balance , then landing on the steel fence, mouth first😱

6 months of dental therapy later, I was fortunately able to retain my bottom front teeth , 3 of which had been indented 45 degrees upon impact🤦‍♂️

I should copy and paste this and send it to Fritta. Or better still, to his girlfriend and/or parents since it wouldn’t be ignored.

What a traumatic experience for you 😢

He might be like me and just can't wear them, they just were too uncomfortable.

I also have a slight underbite so it made it even worse, don't think Fritta does but I've not looked that closely tbh

It's the least he could do after missing that last game.

Methinks No. 31 is referring to Eddie Everywhere, not our Ed. Speaking of our Ed, he’s perfectly entitled to attend his sister’s wedding o/s, especially when players miss a game for the birth of their child.

Of course he is, just being silly.

    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

    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.
