Failure to remonstrate

Range Rover
in Melbourne Demons

On many occasions yesterday we were bullied by Hawthorn players but one incident stood out and that was when Grimes was flattened off the ball and no-one - REPEAT: NO-ONE - came in to remonstrate with the Hawthorn defenders who put him down.

Getting towelled up is one thing but not flying the flag for a team mate hit behind play was an absolute disgrace.

What kind of message does it send to the youngsters that our so-called leaders don't have the stomach for a fight?

Harden the !?*$ up Demons!

    Unfortunately Hodge, Brown, Lewis, Guerra and Osborne don't play for us.

    I think this raises a good point and displays a lack of leadership.

    Brad Green and James Mcdonald lead by example and courage in general play, but we have no real hard men who look like they want to kill you and eat you.

    Moloney has tried to be that man but was low on confidence.

    The other thing I would like to see is young blokes lifting thier heads when they make a mistake. When James Strauss &^&*ed up in the goal square he dropped him head in shame and no-one went over to him, he was treated like a leper. Young blokes are gonna &*)* up, they have to learn to keep thier heads up and not lose confidence. We are dropping our bundle early and the young blokes don't have the self belief to recover. The stop running and demanding the footy, they start to take on a lsoing mentality.

    The senior blokes on the ground need to be geeing them up to keep it together.

    Everyone in our defensive 50 went to Strauss after he messed that up...

    correct

    Ok my bad then, I saw him hanging his head and then I think I did the same. Must have missed it.

    We did still seem like a dis-spirited lot out there.

    The problem for this club lies squarely at the feet of the senior players, Bar Green they were inept yesterday and the incident with Grimes left me utterly disappointed. That Hawks player should of found himself flat on his arse.

    Over the next few weeks if they don't improve I'd just drop Bruce, Dunn, Miller, Bate and MacDonald and bring in Gysberts, Maric, Jetta, Watts and Blease. They are the future, let's run with them.

    F Maric Green Petterd

    HF Garland Watts Sylvia

    C Jetta Jones Davey

    HB Rivers Frawley Bennell

    B McDonald Warnock Strauss

    R Jamar Scully Grimes

    I Moloney, Gysberts, Blease, Martin

    With Morton and Jurrah to come back in

    The future needs to start now. If our senior players can't help us win then why play them. I reckon this team would give it's all and would at least get them playing together sooner rather than later.

    i tend to agree with this in the next few weeks-our senior players are retarding the team more than anything- i hate saying that but it just might be the truth.

    certainly worth serious consideration

    Scully and Trengove must cringe when one of our 'leaders' try to give them advice.

    I pray that they only listen to McDonald and Green.

    I'm so over the names Dunn, Bruce, Miller and never wanted MacDonald. Spencer needs 2's time as does Bate. Moloney needs to lift as well. Hard decisions ahead

    We don't protect our players be it after one gets flattened when we certainly should or be it doing the 1 %ers, the hard stuff that wins you matches. We don't protect the ball carrier, you can count on one hand the number of sheppards or even a good body position to give someone space to run into.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
