Some of the players we were bagging earlier this year have really risen to the challenge, Bell, Bate and Jones have all lifted brilliantly, also impressed with Nathan Carroll, the backline is looking much sounder. PJ contributing well in the ruck, we now no longer look hopeless when White is off the ball. Wheatley was good today also. Go Dee's

Great Talent !

Probably the best game he has played and the best thing is that there will be plenty more to come, and he will only get better.

His tackles on Welsh were phenomanol - amazing - in awe I am. And if I recall correctly he laid a similar one against a Port bloke, could have been Ebert? His last line of defence pressure is top notch.

Long time member of Bell fan club here. Bell has developed nicely. Drafted bottom age as a very skinny kid who was always going to take time to develop. Is quick, has a strong body and good disposal, and his spoiling today was fantastic.

I will watch with interest for the mea culpas!

There are a few of us who have been behind Belly since the start. I'm glad that today, his 38th career game, he has stuck it up all those who didn't believe he could make it.

Well done Belly, an absolutely brilliant defensive job today.

You are as brave, as honest, as hard and as exciting as they come.

Couldnt of said it better! All I said all day was "My moneys on Belly"

Alan, you have been here for 5 minutes, don't tell me what to do. The amount of crap Bell has got around here has been horrendus, those posters need to stand up and say they were wrong.

Fair enough Brocky. Don't take it as a personal attack.

I have been reading these and other boards for years now and 5 minutes of post time on Demonland is not a true representation of what I know and from what I've been reading on this site.

I know Belly has copped a significant dump from all angles. But I can also understand the frustration from the fence. Not all supporters are as patient or logical as others.

Good to see you kept the faith.

Its clear channel seven dont know him though as on the channel 7 news "maloney stopped a certain goal to welsh" :wacko::wacko:

Heard that too. Channel 7 really are pushing the boundaries with their football coverage :unsure:

Great to hear Belly was awesome. Fast, attacking and accountable - always happy to have that.

Didn't see the game but apparently Wheatley was good too. 19 kicks to 3 handballs for him is good to see.

Well said Jaded and I could not agree with you more.......

You and Dan have every reason to scream "I told you so" from the highest roof top, as you guys have been supporting, and campaigning for this, kid of a hell of a long time now. You should be very proud that he is (and has been all year) showing everyone else what he is actually capable of.

It also goes to show that there are a hell of a lot of folk who will just right our players off with no real understanding that it takes an individual time and effort for a player to come good, and frankly that lack of faith is unbelievably sad and they should be hanging their heads in shame.

Daniel Bell was simply awesome yesterday and should be congratulated for shoring up our back line and giving the opposition absolutely nothing.

Brilliant game, well done Daniel :wub:;) !!!

Ain't that the truth.....

Good to see you kept the faith.

But asking for a bit more faith in some of our younger players would not be out of line for a hell of a lot of people.

Give me a break........Bell has been one of our most consistent players this year, and yesterday was a standout game for him. It was his best game, but he has been good all year!

You haven't been watching him much this year if you think it's only one game!

If I could sew, I'd be heading down to th Demon Shop and purchasing the numbers 2 and 1 for my guernsey. I haven't been so excited by the game of a defender since Jared Rivers routinely obliterated opposing forward lines throughout 2004. Chasing, tackling, spoiling, all-round desperation, and twenty touches to boot. I was particularly pleased that it was on Scott Welsh too. The clown usually reserves his one good game of the season for Melbourne. Great job, Belly!

The whole defence was sensational yesterday, too. Carroll was very, very good. The amount of pressure applied by the backline was terrific. The all-round pressure applied by the team yesterday has been sorely missing through most of this season.

Ok, you just compared Belly to Brent Grgic. I can no longer take anything you say seriously.

From now on, refer to my signature for my opinion on all Belly bashers.

Bell's played some great patches of footy last year n has been brilliant this year.

He has been our best/most consistent backmen all year.

I've said it b4 but i think his taken the mantle of best small defender of Whelan.

Whelan can pick up the 2nd small. :rolleyes:

Puts it all in perspective really when you realise he has only played 38 games! Terrific game and expect bigger things. May get the job on Buckley this week assuming he returns.

my credibilty must be in trouble then.i'm shattered.

it's a very simple analogy, not a direct comparison of the 2 players. if you missed the point i'll explain a different way; few good performances does not a quality a.f.l footballer make. it's taken until round 10 for the pro bell supporters to bring out the "i told you so" line.........what do you read into that? besides all that, all i said about bell was that he had a long way to go and that he was crap against west coast......and he was. it's great to be supportive of players and defend them, but every player who pulls on a red and blue jumper is not necessarily going to be gun.

    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.

    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
