That is the sort of mark every person dreams of taking when you play kick to kick with your mates at the park.

Textbook. Awesome.

Just love the split second of hangtime once the mark was taken.

Oxygen sapping at that height!

There are many things about this mark that remind me of Shaun Smith's at the GABBA.

For starters they are both number 29 and they were both taken on their skipper's head.

Such a good mark.

It seemed effortless. He just glided in to the air - it was more of a forwards-upwards floating motion rather than Robbo's heavy-looking straight-up jumps.

Truly awesome.

If this is what Newton can produce in just his 4th game, it looks like we have a decade of highlights in front of us!

Staker was holding his opponent & visa versa, the ball was just about passed him, he stuck out the mitt and took it as cleanly as a whistle, whilst pretty much being parallel to the ground.

Was a great mark as well, but doesn't have the WOW factor of a true speccie. Juice got that one down pat easily.

Definitely the angle on this thread...

I saw it happen at the ground, from just about EXACTLY the same angle as the camera shot we've seen replayed throughout the week. I remember thinking "if this wasn't such a crappy match, and awful time to be a dees supporter I might be more bouyant.

But watching it again and again... it just plain doesn't get any better than that. We over-use the word special, but in this case that's EXACTLY what it was. He even kicked the goal.

The only thing denying it from being perfect was the fact that he was attempting to take it with his hands, which you love to see, but he ended up missing it and taking it on the chest. Not the absolute perfect execution but near enough to it, and technique-wise you can't fault the placement of a single muscle fiber.

My mates and I were all prepared for a 60 point loss, so that highlight was worth the price of admission. I'd missed his first few games of footy because of work committments, and was afraid I'd miss his first bag of 4 or more. I'm just so pleased that after backing him in all year I rocked up and he didn't let me down.

Congratulations Juice... You're well on the way to making hoardes of demons fans (all 17 of them) fall in love with you. Keep working the way you're working and you'll start to hear crowds applauding you en masse, and people cheering your name...

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the kind of player who is capable of the kind of skills that bring people to MFC matches that don't even barrack for the red and blue.

    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
