Having spent some time checking out the other AFL club websites I can't help but be underwhelmed by our own.

IMO we are once againg bringing up the rear in presentation, stories and news about the club we love. I read on one of the threads of someone who rated our site a 2 and I can only think it was out of 20 because, quite bluntly, it is very poor indeed.

In the survey, which I personally completed yesterday, there are many questions asked and I hope that the club administrators take heed of the feedback from members.

I wasn't aware volunteers were involved in the site.

Do you know this for sure, or is it an assumption?

no idea...i have a feeling it might be

i just hate it when people have a go at volunteers

i just presumed that if people were getting paid to do it, there would be more frequant updates

and to golly and co...i agree quality over quantity

but there is nothing wrong with player interviews

an end of season highlights package (and yes, there are some)

a highlights package of the first year players

maybe some more info on the clash strip

how about the coach's press conference after the last game?

how about some video footage of some of jim stynes's speeches at the lunch's

how about a bit of footage from the thing at olympic park?

how about a bit of footage on some of the debt demolition things

why not some footage or articles updating us on debt demolition and up coming plans

maybe a video advertising/urging people to donate

i was hoping they would put up the footage from when jim stynes made his very first presidential speech and was handed the presidency

i was hoping they would show us the footage from when hamish blake went to the club

im hoping they show us footage on from the B&F dinner

there are a lot of things they could do that other clubs do and its annoying

we hear how good speeches made by Garry Lyon and CC have been and how inspiring DB pep talk before the queens birthday game was, but the havent shown any of it

not all of us have the money to go to these things

i mean...after the walk to the g, if they showed some footage about how good that was, then maybe even more ppl would want to go next year

Maybe they're worried that if we are shown footage of these payed events, then even fewer people will go. But we shouldn't criticize the only people who are doing anything at all for doing too little.

if they get paid, we can criticised

hell, i'll do it

also, i was going to say before that of coarse it is much better to see these things live and most of the people (the top end people, ie the 150 $6000 people) arent the sort of people that are going to be looking at the websight to watch these videos

there is a different audience there IMO

the way i see it; if they showed the videos a month later (just in case) it can only work as a positive as we would be getting more people onto the websight and making fans happy

people are not going to give up the chance to go to one of these fundraising events because in one months time, they might show a 5 minute sniput of some of the speeches

think about it..

anyway; does anyone know if more people going on our websight eqauls more revenue, or is it all one lump thing?????

At no stage in my post did i have ago at any volunteers. I have personally worked as and with volunteers all my life and have the utmost respect for the. However I wouldn't believe that our website was run by volunteers and if it is I would believe we would be the only club where this would be happening.

IMO the website is one of the most powerful methods of promoting our club and our sponsors. With a second rate site we are not giving our sponsors due recognition for their support and we are certainly not keeping our members informed. May I also suggest that the site should be attractive and informative and give new viewers a sense of "I want to go there". Certainly wouldn't get one too excited at the moment and the lack of stories, events, interviews has been all year not just since the end of the season. I may be hard to please but I believe this is as important as the Dees always having the Demon.

Some information with respect to our new Clash strip and new logo (ie with the return of the Demon) would be nice, but I guess they are still progressing through that. Perhaps Jack Watts will put on the new clobber as the No.1 pick for the new merchandise launch?!

    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
