Round 5
Last week
A struggle up to half time but an impressive 3rd quarter saw the Dees kick away to an eventual 55 point win over Richmond – a nice little percentage boost. It has been worth the wait to see Jamar, Sylvia and Moloney coming into their prime and with James McDonald (Junior) leading the way. The improvement in skills was demonstrated in particular by Bennell, Bruce and Bail all kicking and handballing with over 90% effectiveness. Did I mention Scully and Trengove – nope not yet – more to come!
This week
No changes to the team this week with Melbourne taking on the Brisbane Lions at the MCG. Stefan Martin, Jordan Gysberts, Kyle Cheney are named as emergencies so we could see another debutant if young Gysberts gets a late call up this week.
As we all know it can be difficult to get the footy scores in Sydney but we have been saved by the free iphone app “Footy Live”. Try it this Saturday night if you are out and about or otherwise join the NSW Dees at the Cammy!

Round 4
Last week
It might have taken until the last few minutes to secure victory but a win is a win is a win! And didn’t the boys delight in singing the team song! A very even performance by the team highlighted by superb performances from our own two sponsored players Jamie Bennell and Jack Grimes. If you haven’t joined up to the NSW Demons sponsorship now’s the time to invest in the future of the MFC and Jamie and Jack – details here.
This week
Melbourne takes on Richmond this weekend and it looks like Sylvia will play and Newton might be the unlucky player to miss out. The big danger this week is heaven forbid! – overconfidence with Richmond truly having a shocking start to the season on and off the field.

Round 2
While I still haven’t seen the game against Collingwood I am reliably informed that “we woz robbed”, that it was our best game for years and “seniors stood up and kids had a dip”!
