Although we are $9 longshots,i think we are a real chance today,IF we all come to play.

Let's give Brucey a great and memorable win in his 200th.

FWIW,i've taken those $9 odds.

Yeah you should have. Against Decent Opposition we have no mid field. It's too obvious.

I agree,time to trade Brock while we can still get something for him.

So you have gone from thinking we have a good enough team to beat Geelong at the cattery to wanting to trade Brock McLean?

The two hours of footy I saw wasn't that bad.

Reality people - we only beat two interstate sides on the G, who had their best players out (Cox and Kerr) or out of form (Cornes, Tredrea, Burgoyne, and Pearce).

Our only possible wins to finish the year will be against Richmond and Fremantle. Let's hope one of them turns up on the day and we finish on 4 wins.

Your opinion, BUT there is no way MFC will trade Brock Mclean.

Very good player who will have a great season next year when he has a full pre-season. His clearance stats this year have been very impressive.

Possible future captain and works well in the media. He has shown his commitment to MFC with his generous donation to the club.

Lets no forget Brock is still young and is a few years off his best footy. Patience please.

Since i saw Brock's debut against Freo at Subi in 2004,he has played less than 10 outstanding games and i mean OUTSTANDING,he's been mostly average at best.He doesn't work hard enough between contests when he doesn't have the ball.In the next few weeks,let's see how long he can run with Cousins and Judd,that's how hard the top mids work,he wouldn't keep up and Cousins is 6 years older.

Yes,he's been injured a lot but is he much worth to us with the amount of time he's fully fit.

And captaincy,forget it.Others have had much better seasons in the last 6 years since Brock's debut.

You don't reward mediocrity.Anyone who knows anything about AFL will tell you Brock has has 6 mediocre seasons at best as well as many off field indescretions.

Brock was fantastic in 2006. So many games he was influential in the midfield and was able to kick a couple a game.

Then in round 1 2007 after a solid opening qtr he did his ankle.

I have no doubt injuries have curtailed his career at the moment.

Needs to play well against good teams, not just against crap interstate teams at the G.

We don't need him now or in the future.Soon our midfield will consist of:

Possibly 2 of Scully,Trengove or Morabito and

Blease

Jones

Sylvia

Grimes

Jetta...recruited as a mid and will get his chance

Strauss

And Davey,Green and Bruce can rotate through there.

Trade Brock while we can get something for him.

    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
