During a brief 'grab' on SEN this morning , our esteemed coach was quoted as saying that Johnson and SPENCER had been playing reasonable football , but both needed to step up today .

Does he know that one of them isn't playing ?

They both are playing reasonable footy. I thought Spencer's first two games were quite impressive, I think Bailey's resting Spencer, and giving Meesen a shot due to the fact he hasn't played yet.

I think spencer did alright in his first two games, still a rookie. Takes a while for ruckmen to develop. It`s great that Meeson is getting a go. Finally gets to show us what hes like. Hope he does alright.

Casey are playing today as well, maybe he expects Spencer to step up for Casey.

Well all I can say is that we better have some more improvement and the MFC better get some wins on the board otherwise Dean Bailey will be lucky to last his full contract.

Does anybody know what Dean Bailey's game plan is yet....??? :blink:

Give him a go - at least to half way. I can barely bring myself to say it but AAAGH what about BUCKLEY. His comments and reading of the game seem outstanding!! <_<

Buckley will want $1m a year to coach and we don't have a spare Mill.

What about Simon Buckley. Hell of a lot cheaper and would encourage his players to run and take the game on, something a lot of people here want. Besides, Nathan wouldn't be caught dead coaching us. But that's okay, because I wouldn't be caught dead supporting a team that had anything to do with that [censored].

P.S. have you taken a look at that guy's nose. WTF is up with that?

starting to agree, was a big supporter but am dropping off after the first 3 efforts for the year. He does not seem to be able to motivate the boys for 4 quarters, on thin ice, Jimmy won't get rid of him though

On thin ice eh? He's barely into the second season of what I'm sure the power-brokers at Melbourne see as a five year plan. Cut him some slack.

He's currently fielding a team that will be radically revised in the next three years. He's trying new players, experimenting with positions, waiting on some gun draft picks to pull on the jumper and determining who of our middle tier players have the mustard to cut it.

And exactly who would you get rid of him for? You can 'drop off' all you like right now and good riddance.

A short-sighted and ignorant post.

I will give Dean Bailey the benefit of the doubt. I realise it will take a very long time to improve....I just get frustrated and angry after a big loss (as I'm sure we all do!).

I just would like the Demons to remain "competitive" throughout the entire game and at least WIN a few matches during the year!

    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.
