Australia get a 2nd win in the day in the 3x3 Basketball, knocking off USA 17-15! Takes them to 3-1 so far with 3 more games to come.

Here's hoping the Opals can draw inspiration re coming back from a slow start to the tournament.

Yes, our Women's 3 x 3 Basketball team are now in a position to push for an automatic Semi Final Berth

Need to finish 1st or 2nd in the 8 team pool (the only pool) but 3rd overall to 6th overall qualify for the play-in matches (to fill the other 2 Semi Final berths)  We play Azerbaijan, France and top team, Spain, in our remaining pool matches

As for our medal chances through to the morning, our Women's 4 x 200m Freestyle Relay team is a big show whilst Elizabeth Dekkers is a medal chance in the 200m Butterfly

And the Opal's look like getting the much needed win against Canada

Well done to the Opals on the bounce back win, 70-65 over Canada. Still a few issues for them to tidy up, but Canada are a good team, so they should take that win.

They've done it again the Sharks! Another huge upset, this time over France 9-8. With two wins out of three, they're almost guaranteed of getting through to the Quarter Finals.

Payback on Canada today continues with Mariafe/Clancy getting a straight sets win 21-10, 21-16. That assures them of a spot in the elimination Round of 16.

It was the girls best performance so far. Canada made some mistakes, especially in the first set, but the girls have improved each match so far.

In great news the Hockeyroos have drawn with Argentina 3-3 after trailing 0-2 and then again at 2-3. This draw means a win over Spain in their final match (which they should do) almost guarantees them top spot in their group unless Argentina absolutely demolish Great Britain in their final match.

4 wins on the trot for our 3x3 Basketball team with a 21-12 victory over Azerbaijan. Still two games to go, but if they keep up this form, they should be good for a Semi Final birth.

Win streak comes to an end for our 3x3 team, going down 17-21 to Spain. Brave effort as they had no sub with Mansfield being injured. Hopefully she's right for their match against France tomorrow and a win can still get a top 2 spot.

Disappointing loss for the Kookaburras 2-3 to India, their first loss to India in an Olympics since 1972.

End of the day, still have a Quarter Final spot secured and it will be a tough match up, whether it's against any of Great Britain, Germany or Netherlands. Once we'd lost the game to Belgium, the easy run to a Semi Final was lost. Here's hoping they can find their form for the Knockout matches.

In some good news for the Boomers, Canada have beaten a fast finishing Spain in the Basketball 88-85, meaning that they should now advance to the Quarter Finals. Given their record though, every chance we could draw USA. Should find out after tomorrow.

So far, we've got all we could have asked for, plus a number of extras!!

And winning aside, we've still got numerous chances to medal in any number of events.  Hopefully, some more Gold amongst those medals

And most, or all of our teams, are still in contention to advance

Not wrong there Macca. In fact, it's only the end of Day 7 competition, but if the Olympics were to stop right now, it would already be our 6th most successful Olympics in terms of Gold medals, already having surpassed our hauls in London 2012 & Rio 2016 (two reasonably recent games).

Only two more nights in the Pool, so will be interesting to see how much more Gold we can grab in the final week of the games when it gets to us.

    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

    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
