Just watched the Bailey press conference on line. He looks like a man who's out of ideas. These last 2 games have clearly effected Bailey and his demeanour is really starting to resemble what you'd expect from a coach with a 4-30 record overall.

He got a bit upset with one journo who asked him whether or not he singled out the leadership group for last nights debacle. Bailey replied "all players share the responsibility".

He thought our tackling was more or less half assed. He was also very upset we gave away the early free kick goals.

-----------------

Has our list gotten to the point where it's uncoachable and unwinnable?

Last November I was thinking that Rich was the safe bet, as you can't beat a class midfielder. Watts and Naita came with a risk I thought. At the moment Rich looks the pick of the draft and good luck to Brisbane.

Very early days though, and I haven't seen Watts's game last night.

Morton seems more of a concern at the moment.

You also can't touch the senior coach either.

We're 4-30 since rd 1 2008 and they'll tell you that things are going rosy under Bailey.

The club is all talk at the moment. I think the MFC website should ban player interviews during the week outlining how they're going to make amends and are sick of honourable losses - it's all fluff.

I've been noticing a new phenomenon from generation Y and it's prevalent in the OP. And it's not that they think they're "versing" everyone, it's their incorrect use of the word "his". Often they really mean "he's" as in "he is", but they type "his". Staggering really.

But I digress. Watts will be a gem of a footballer. If you can't see it now that's ok, but the player you witness today you won't recognise in 3-5 years time.

I'm more concerned by our skill level and woeful midfield. More than ever I think we need 2 mids with whatever top 4 picks we receive at year's end. I've got no problem with Butcher if 'he's' (or should I say "his" so that some understand me) a clear standout, as top quality kpps are as rare as hen's teeth, but if there's any doubt I'd go with a mid to compliment Scully. I think we have the worst midfield I've ever seen.

You're right. Lets all panic.

It amazes me that so many can't see the forest for the trees.

If we just look at the Hawks and Blues of a few years ago who everybody would thrash and look at them today. It obviously takes time at the bottom with several draft picks to rebuild. We are doing that and will rise again with a strong list.

How in hell can you expect a young Watts etc to make the difference in his first year as a skinny kid.

I know this is probably wasted on those who just want to win a couple of games now and bugger the future, but be patient the Demons will rise again and hopefully stay up there for a long time.

H, watching tonight's game led me to the same point. We don't need another KPF. Bater will be fine as 2nd or 3rd tall. BUT if we cannot get the ball through the midfield we are dead. And just getting one is not enough. I found Morton unconvincing last night. Being reliant on Davey for any zip or line-breaking is an ineffective strategy but it is the only one we have. Blease better be good, and he well might be. BUT in case he is not, then we'd get two this year. I went last night with ehe hope of a cheeky win - now I'm (feeling sick again) just looking for player development and for weekly losses.

I thought Moloney was great, Sylvia was good, and the rest, including ruck, were NQR.

Just wondering if the scores of 'supporters' that advocate losing who seemed to have swamped Demonland are satisfied with the way we lost last night? Did it fulfill your request for a loss in the appropriate way? Were you comforted by the fact that the figures are looking good? Because to me it feels awful and Picks One and Two aren't going to fix what we saw last night.

If your satisfied by our club losing games then don't complain how they lose them.

We are not setting up for the future right now. We are tearing the hearts out of our young fellas and I feel empty.

If you advocate tanking, you are a tanker.

Wow Warren !

You must have creamed your dacks when you spotted this. One of your better posts. No, in fact, your best post.

Now, back under that rock.

Anyone who loves the club would feel sick by such an insipid performance. That said, I'm going to be patient this year. What other choices are there ? We need stars and we need them quickly. Our best chance of procuring stars is through the pointy end of the draft. The expectation of getting a couple of top 3 picks helps keep morale up. It's not the issue of tanking, it's the issue of getting better. And we know what will help us get better.

So patience is required in 09. But it will be a different story in 2010. I will be out of patience next year if we don't see some measurable improvement.

Yes, how dare he pick up a spelling error

How come I know what you're going to post before you do ?

You're predictably boring these days. Why don't you surprise me and share some really good footy insight ?

waiting....

If it's so obvious then you really need to think before you post. By the way, you never did answer my question in the other thread.

So how does it taste?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
