He and Bruce came on to promote the game and club, and that the players were in the call centre calling members who have failed to sign up...

They drilled Nathan for being nervous, but I reckon he handled himself better than Robbo, Cam and Green all put together. Laughed off the bald jokes, read Sam's mailbag well...

I get up in front of people and make a fool of myself for a living, and when I was 19 I wold have struggled to look as comfortable as he did.

Don't know if it was worth a new thread [it's not, I merged it :P ], but whenever they say a demon is coming on the show, or on the panel, I cringe... Even when it's Neita. But I was very at ease watching the mini-chief go about it...

Oh. And Bruce said the form turn around is in the players' hands, and that that's a good thing...

He handled himself well.

Just can't [censored] as well as veterans like Bruce who have all the excuses on auto-pilot.

Might ring and buy my cousin a kids membership and have a bit of a chat to Brock ;)

I just spoke to Ricky pettard via the membership primus call centre, was good to speak to a player and he gave some good info, saying he'll hopefully be back in a month fit and ready to get in some form.

CALL UP AND SIGN UP!!!

GO DEES!

Good on everyone who signed up last night but why did it take a player calling you up to buy a membership?

are you serious Harcourt? Have you seen the dramas that has happened this past 18 months? Some member or non members arent as passionate as others, hence why they havent bought a membership yet. And being shown this pittful game that we watch the first 5 rounds I can understand why they havent wanted to purchase a membership, sometimes it takes a little push, and having a player call you up its pretty hard to say no

You are correct and it is the reason why our club is stuffed and won't be around in 10 years time. Enjoy it while you can.

Don't regret missing it, even though Jones and Bruce were on. Love the footy show and newman, but Lost >>>>> The Footy Show.

Lost is on at 10:30 next week (probably because of low ratings) so I can fit in an hour of the show.

Yeah pretty much.

Certainly won't be pursuing a career in the media after he's finished.

Are you guys serious? I reckon that would have been one of the first media things he's ever done. Taking that into account plus his age, I think he did very well especially given how much of a tool Sam was being, trying to embarass him.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
