Really really liked Whiteboard Wednesday week 24 with Bails.

Going through all the most relevant statistics which show our improvement from 2009 to 2010 and our aims for 2011. Really exciting stuff.

What did other people think?

(to watch, it is up on youtube)

Firstly, how much better has the website and demons media coverage in general become...whiteboard wed is just one of soo many cool insights into the club and what the people that matter think about our progress as a team and a club!

Interesting insights this week...stats can get lost on me at times but this breakdown got me excited!

Looking forward to some coverage over the summer...is a weekly update too much to ask? I mean we all go stir crazy without our footy fix...especially now that cricket is [censored]!

 

Adding the 22 games really is significant isn't it. Was good to hear mentions of Blease, Tapscott and Strauss

good insight, although I couldn't help but feel that all those stats kind of fed in to one another..... nevertheless good to see some progress being made.

One other observation.... Jack Watts and Jordie McKenzie were missing from the list of young players who would be getting games under their belt?????, and Nathan Jones was missing from the list of experienced players that Bails said would be at the club next year, yet he clearly made reference to Cam Bruce being at the club next year.. hmmmmmmm

You figured out his grand scheme - to trade Watts, McKenzie & Jones for Jake King and a packet of mentos.

Steady on lad! Don't read too much into things.

The senior guys Bails was referring to are 26+ years of age with experience and are in the leadership group. Jonesy doesn't fit in there.

As for Watts and McKenzie... yeh fair call as to why they weren't included amongst the youngsters. Can't fit all 44 listed players, I guess. Even though those two are pivotal...

Nicely done, with good pr for the supporters.

Not much else. Nothing new. No revelations.

BUT, good communication with supporters.

I knew someone would say this. So what? Mark Jamar wasn't there either, but I'll bet he has some say in the leadership of our ruck division.

It's got to be the tropical variety. Otherwise...no deal/

Maybe because they are considered a lock.

Terrific.

The club has really been making a big effort to communicate and make that connection with the supporters, which is good to see...

At my Age I would much prefer Minties not into these new lollies.

Sensational, Thanks DB ... cant wait.

Whiteboard Wednesdays are just getting better week by week.

Go Dees

I finally got a chance to have a look at it, and though there was no earth-shattering news there it was a sensible and smart message to us. The message was that "we have a plan and the plan is working but it is a work in progress. Get ready for better times."

Anyone worrying that a name or two were not mentioned are just playing Chicken Little. Individuals were mentioned mostly as examples to illustrate the theory.

Personally I would go their cola flavour, they are quite good.

Nice analysis, and certainly confirms what we already know.

Was interesting, and surprising, the absolute gulf between Green-Bruce and then Davey-Moloney-Rivers. i.e about 100 games. That equates to 5 years!.

Certainly shows why we have been floundering at the bottom for the past couple. At least we have now built and are building a proper foundations as demonstrated by Bails.

Firstly, how much better has the website and demons media coverage in general become....

I went to the youth summit a while ago and that was one thing that was a common theme, we want more media available to us on the website. Now obviously a lot of the specific thoughts and ideas that were proposed were for the most part unrealistic, but it certainly the club has listened regarding coverage available on the website.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
