You say all this... and in the previous breath you have demanded to see instant results!

Your comedic talents know no bounds.

I want to see PROGRESS...don't you -you was crying for it last year..

Once again, WOULD YOU RECOGNISE IT IF YOU SAW IT..?

I'm not convinced you would.

But even then you'd go back to whingeing about not have Jack Watt's weight updated on the website after he ate breakfast.

I'd prefer JW to muscle up thus increase weight-and yes-I believe we members should get an update on the list changes...at least Cam is showing us what is going on off -field.Height and weight changes show us progress and development but you would not understand that...

Cam has been virtually transparent since he began back at the club.

I'm a big fan of his work.

To say that "height and weight changes show us progress and development"...

I give up. You've won that argument.

Excellent video. I like the idea of it.

I'd agree if I could only watch it. As usual Bugpond won't display it on my Mac regardless of the browser I use.

Is the MFC prevented from putting such stuff up on youtube by some legal deal with the AFL?

Maybe the club could do a biggest loser type thing but call it the biggest gainer. We could track there progress and vote them out if they fall below the yellow line.

No, they've done it in the past with the Demons' Xmas Message.

I've been unable to play it on my mac also.

Excellent idea. I heard this presentation previously but still think the video is a great idea. It is an excellent way of communicating with members and helping them understand what the club is all about and what we are trying to achieve.

HT-- get your point re PATIENCE...but I would also like to see progresion as well.

Absolutely agree. Not a hint of it this pre-season.

Would you recognise it if you saw it..?

Do you have to be a smartass, know-it-all every time you post? Just ONCE Id like to see you add something of substance.

I can recognise the progression OFF the field and I recognise the lack of progression ON-

as do others with half a footy brain, Im sure. JCB's comment above, was spot on.

Theres enough senior players in the team - we SHOULD see some progression and SHOULD HAVE so far this pre-season..

But so far the pre-season, injuries aside, has been a shambles except for a half v adelaide and maybe another quarter or two.

Time to stop [censored] footing around. Anything less than 6-7 wins will be considered another wasted year and so far this year,

we havent played well enough to beat anyone - except maybe Freo and WCE at the 'G - and thats still a maybe.

Who was it that said, 'Footy sucks sometimes' again? .. anyway, they said SOMETIMES.

Says who?

The club has already talked about what they're looking to get out of this year. But either it's not getting through to you, or you don't/can't accept it.

Id guess most people that post on this website alone would say that 5 or less wins this year is unacceptable.

We basically won 5 games last year! (Thanks to Jordan again..) So how would 5 this year be any improvement?

If we only got 5 wins this year and especcially if its the 'same ol' mistakes and same bad habits' story as it is atm -

Id probably dump half the list again for 2011.

In spite of the fact there were few senior players on the field during the meaningless practice matches, haven't we already established long ago that our more senior players as a collective are just not up to it?

Isn't that why we started rebuilding in the first place?

Things will change when all of our young promising players become the more senior players in the side.

Not before.

Hahaha the elusive "most people"

This year is about improvement in terms of development. As far as I'm concerned the number in the wins column is largely irrelevant.

Yeah, but we did leave a core group of 'older' players in place.

Surely you'd expect with a group that comprises of: Davey-Slyvia-Green-Moloney-Jones-Rivers-Bruce-Warnock-Capt Mac-Jamar-add Joel Mac too, we should be able to get off Dead last and should be able to expect more than 5 wins?

Fair enough.

So you wouldnt be too upset if we only won 4 or 5 again?

I might end up in a ward sitting through another 17 melbourne losses..

Nope. The above is a list mostly made of solid role players with precious few stars, if any.

Every team needs its role players to complement the stars to create a contender, but without the stars you're going nowhere fast.

I'd be disappointed, but I'd understand.

Cause and effect.

How do you rate a 'star' tho? Every persons view might be different.

I rate Dav, Green and Bruce as 'stars' - Slyvia close.. throw in Moloney, Jones, Capt mac, Jamar -add Riv, Warnock, Frawls down back (and all these players having been playing together for years now) and you've the makings of a decent team, one that Should be good enough to get us over the line more than 4 or 5 times imo, stars or no stars..

I guess thats where we disagree..

We start 3-4 goals behind every week.... :blink::mad::mad: ... It's going to be a long year! harf harf harf

Interesting to see. The amount of work involved in turning around/keeping a football club viable/relevant off the field and on it is just immense! They really do an amazing job.

Here is looking forward to seeing it come to fruition and the cycle from heritage to legacy repeating itself a couple of times over my life cycle.

    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.
