We had a second AA ruck signed sealed and delivered. They gave it 10 weeks to work then gave up, and crashed out in straight sets for the second year in a row. They traded that ruck to another co

Still, it presents an opportunity for those at Casey who are pressing for senior selection. Oh, wait …

Game starts at the ungodly hour of 5am my time so I will most likely be watching later at breakfast and coffee. People coming for lunch so I will celebrate/drown sorrows with some excellent wine and food. 
 

Dees to win in AFS by 5 goals and move into 3rd on the ladder.

This year, I am firmly ensconced at The Manor for what I expect to be a tough and close struggle.

Max will simply have to be more superhuman than ever as he is facing a two on one against a couple of serious players. As a team, a slow start must be avoided and we will need to take all our chances inside 50.  Fritta is always reliable but we will need contributions from McAdam and Petty.

Our defence will be the difference.

Dees by 13 points.

Not certain, but I think this is one ground where we kick particularly poorly for goal.

We are actually ok at kicking for goal at Traeger Park, this is without OOF and no score shots.

Last year was a shocker, but the conditions were putrid.

In 9 games we are 106.95 since 2014.

Under Goody total is 77.64

2017 - 18.14 v Suns (W)

2018 - 23.8 v Crows (W)

2019 - 11.12 v Eagles (L)

2020 - 8.4 v Saints (W)

2022- 12.11 v Port (W)

2023 - 5.15 v Giants (L)

Well I got that wrong.

Must have been swayed by last year.

Game could go either way. Very similar for points for and against. One of the teams most similar to us in strengths and weaknesses, will mostly be up to our personnel to get it done. Need to curtail the likes of Young, Serong and Frederick.

I'm currently in the latter. 4am start. 

Feels like a home-game though, as I've spent a bit of time living in Darwin in recent years. Shame AMW didn't get a call-up, just a 15 hour drive for his kin.

Chandler noted the sun was beating down at 18C in Alice yesterday, hopefully it's not too slippery.

Perfect conditions for footy and a typical Alice winter day, glorious sunshine, dry and a cool light breeze. The ground is looking good despite the rain earlier in the week. I’m not confident but I never am. MFCSS is real 😬🔴🔵🏆

I’ll take the 23.8. Actually 8.4 likely gets it done against Freo. Don’t care what it looks like we just need to get it done today.

it'll be a tough contested game. Freo no world beaters but they'll put up a fight. They remind me of us in a lot of ways. Plenty of heart and endeavour but not the most skilled.

Max has a busy day ahead dealing with Darcy and Jackson. He'll earn his pay check today. 

Amiss is a very good forward but has a bad case of the yips at the moment. hopefully he doesn't rediscover his mojo against us. if he does we could be in trouble.

I think this is Kossies stage. He'll put on a show and get us over the line.

Just back from France and Portugal. Jet lag had me up at 3am. I’ve had breakfast and read the news, but the game is still 8 hours away. Go Demons.

Hope our day is not merde

I reckon supporters of both sides will be wondering which version of their own team will turn up today. Or not turn up.

Dees by 16, midfield and ruck battle will be immense. Our class in the forward line will take us over the line. They simply don't have the same fire power we do, if we get supply we should win.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
