Who is actually occupying our forward line as we speak, with no Neita, Robbo or Juice? ... Ben Holland, come on down :lol:

According to Demon77 on the training thread for yesterday, Benny trained at Junction Oval. He's probably here in Melbourne. We're reliant on Trent Zomer to kick a bag in the last to get us home!

Wouldn't be too worried just yet Jaded. Chances are he went up for a trademark speccy and fell down on his bonce. Suppose it's still disappointing.

That's not such a bad idea, you know!

I remember during a game last year, we were losing ( :o ) and whoever was our coach at the time moved Holland to the forward line and he kicked two or three goals. So yes, Ben Holland can come on down!

Freak goal to Nathan Brown, rolled about 20 times and in through the goals.

Dees 7-9-51

Tigers 12-5-77

Appears that the young Demons ran out of legs and left it to the Tigers to run all over the top.

I'm not concerned in the slightest - looking at the team we took up there.

Hopefully next week we can take a more impressive team to Canberra (I think that's where we're playing)

thanks for the running commentary of last night.

This in hindsight seems somewhat hilarious

http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,2...2-23211,00.html

given by all accounts here NB was havig a night out...the article says he had a quiet one !! lol.. I wonder if Fox actually went to game?? lol

This game is only more power to the argument that the NAB challenge is a crock of sh!t !! Let those not in cup to their own devices I think.

Have no doubt we'll see an avalanche of "Woe is Melbourne " posts around the traps.

Hopefully Juice will be as right as rain in a few weeks. Cant wait to see all the '[censored] a hoop' Toigers sprouting the second coming !! lol

At least the kids are getting a taste of things.

Would be very VERY interested to hear reports from next couple of training sessions to hear what Bails has taken out of these games.

Go Dees

Does anyone know the where/when/who about next week?

Boy, we must have blown a fuse last night with our collective concern over Juice's injury and the team's defeat. Hope Juice is well and that the club will give us some good news about his condition soon.

A big vote of thanks to faultydet and the other Demon and Tiger sites that were on the job supplying us with dribbles of news from the game.

Does anything concern you about our pre-season? Do you firmly believe things are going to plan?

    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.
