Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere but this weekends match against North is raising money for the BCNA - an amazing organisation that helps women ( and men) and their families during their incredible difficult journey navigating breast cancer.

This is a cause very deep to my heart as I lost my beloved mum to breast cancer 8 years ago.

If you cannot attend you can purchase a virtual seat.When I looked earlier today only 146 virtual seats have been purchased so they have a long way to go to reach their target of $125,000.

i know times are tough for everyone but if you can make a donation you can guarantee it is going to a very good cause. I’m sure many of you will have been affected or had someone close to you affected.

We can only hope that sales for the virtual seats are low because the field of women is selling well and we can get an extra 5,000 people on the G for it.

Thank you for highlighting the importance of this match, Jane. I’m sorry you lost your mum to this insidious disease, a disease that’s taken too many lives. 🫶🏼

It’s a wonderful cause that’s also very close to my heart. I’m a 10-year survivor and because of two ‘scares’ I’ve had since then, it’s never far from my mind. Especially currently since the most recent scare was only six weeks ago. Beating the Saints was the perfect distraction while waiting for results. ❤️💙

I urge anyone who can attend the match on Saturday to please do so. If you can afford it, buy a BCNA beanie (there’s no such thing as too many beanies, right?) or make a donation, even a small one because every dollar counts.

No field of women this year, FTB.

Idk why that’s so but I’m rapt that I got to experience it last year… an AMAZING experience.

Ye apologies, I read that wrongly, though the below line is definitely confusing with regards to the field of women on BCNA website.

"MCG entry gates for Field of Women will open from 5.30pm.

WCW - isn't it an amazing. I have participated in all of them now and it is the most emotional experience. I forgot to mention the beanies - glad you bought this up. I am glad that you are doing well.

Y’all be sure to watch the big screen pregame. There’ll be a slideshow of people impacted by breast cancer. One pic will be of an absolute Dees nuffie holding up a ‘RAISING HELL’ sign just after the final siren in our game vs Sydney in Sydney, round 24 last year. 😁 She has a look of giddy delirium coz the Dees won, but with a tinge of sadness coz Melksy’s ACL. 🥲

Is that you? I will definitely take notice (probably through the tears). I was hoping to meet you at last year's B & F - maybe this year!

That would be awesome!

Yes, I’ve been told that pic will be in the slideshow. Also, I’ll be sitting in the special pink bay for some of the match. I’m guessing (and hoping) you will be there too. 💕

My thoughts go to any who have lost a loved one and also to those currently dealing/living with the scurge.  Those that have survived I wish you many many more years. I also know that eve in remission you live with it everyday.

My wife is also a survivor. You learn to never take anything for granted.

Hopefully , one day, a cure.

Strength to all

Please don't 'bite', folks. Let it stand as a view - possibly with a personal story attached, as you (and I) have in the thread's subject matter - and move on with the thread's specific purpose on its (strong) merits.

I’m not gonna bite, Tim. Rather, I’ll report this poster. Enough threads are contaminated as it is. This is one I refuse to watch being trashed.

@jane02 Please ignore the disgusting post above (wherein you’re quoted). This thread is too important to have someone drag it down to their level. Thank you for starting this thread.

Hopefully that post is deleted before you even get a chance to see it. That way, there’s only one of us hurt and insulted. 😢

WCW - you beat me to it. I have no words 😶 

I did see the post but chose to ignore it and have blocked that particular poster.

My wife and two daughters will be there tomorrow night dressed in pink - red and blue. My wife lost her Mum to breast cancer when she was 2 years old. Always a special night.

Very inspirational from Kathleen and good to see Clarrie giving of his own feelings in his own way. 
I’m in awe of the strength you all show and good on the club for the leadership role they take in supporting important causes.

    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.
