We must pick up Naitanui and then deal hard for a low 1st rounder to get Hurley.

This will go a long way to building that spine we have sorely missed.

Don't get me wrong, Rich would be awesome too but we have a plethora of current and up coming midfielders.

I was always one to win at all costs, but I think we've been trying to this this all year & we just cant - lack of talent & skill. So at until end of year, just play the youth & then BIG CLEAN OUT - NO SOFT SPOTS!!

If need be, trade for early draft picks.

well i think thats the thing...bailey has to bight the bullet and not be too loyal

we cant be too loyal, evem if people have a year left on their contract, if he doesnt think they can make the "premiership side" then they should be traded/delisted/forced to retire

We need a winning culture more than anything. We will finish bottom 2 or 4 anyway.

So PLAY TO WIN.

We have to get the no. 1 pick before the new teams come in or we'll be a bottom 4 team for years.

So i suggest keep playing Bell,Bartram & Bode and it's ours :lol:

Spot On. Take Geelong and Sydney as examples. This club cannot afford to tank and I doubt the word exists in Dean Bailey's vocab. Looking at our young guys today he's got plenty to work with. If a few things fell our way today we would of rolled them. We're going to get good picks regardless. Winning is everything. Espcially at a club that has accepted mediocrity as long as we have.

I have always believed in playing to win... except next w/e against the Tigers. This is a must lose game for us!! They are starting to look ordinary and we need them to get 1 more win!Natanui will help keep our club alive with the amount of people coming to watch him play, much like Buddy Franklin is doing for Hawthorn.

HB, you are way ahead of the plot. What say we finish last, get Natanui, and he does an ACL in the first practice game? What then?

This is Cargo Cult stuff, pure and simple.

Lets beat the tiges and the bombers (never a better name!). That's probably about it. We will finish bottom 2/4 and will get a very good player in the draft.

Natanui or whoever, they will be good, IF WE CHOOSE WELL.

I think we can win another 2-3 games and still get the number 1 pick.

There is a lot to look forwrd to the next 11 weeks.

A few more wins engineered by our exciting youngsters... Nick Natanui coming to the club ... Cameron Bruce being traded away.

I'll be happy with NikNat or Rich but PSD 1 could prove a big carrot this year.

Richmond can have this weekend and i'll take the Rd 22 game where we go for our 4th win of the year.

Good idea jacey, that should satisfy most. However where are the other 2 wins going to come from?

Be werry werry careful !!

Its no about US wining 4 or less games..its abpout us finishig on teh bottom.. That means winning less than Freo and essendon and Westies.

There is far more to this that simply US not winning

Dont be mistaken ,

dont be mislead..

in order to get the pick we want

we must finish dead ( last )

    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.
