Dean Bailey has got to go. Period. How many times this year have we given the opposition starts? Apart from Hawthorn, all of them. That is the coach. Because what he is saying isn't getting through to the players. Bailey cannot inspire the players, if anything he puts them to sleep. Our players don't play for him, we refuse to man up, our disposal is shithouse, we stuff around with the ball so much, that when we finally decide to kick the ball we cough it up immediately. 4.3 from our turnovers, this is one stat we haven't improved on. Take a long look at it Bailey.

Now to the players. Sure the basket case of a coach is one thing, but desire is another. What is wrong with showing effort? I have long held the belief that half of our list could be replaced by passionate supporters with no football skill whatsoever, as the players clearly aren't that well credentialed in that area either, but at least us long suffering supporters show heart and bleed for the jumper. We have a ton of coaches, all of whom seem to be having little impact. Not good enough, then get rid of them. Simple. I don't care if we are a young team, enough with the bloody excuses, they are for a poor man who refuses to see the truth.

I want results, i want a team that gives a [censored], i want a coach who knows what he's doing.

JAMES FRAWLEY get your head out of your arse. His first quarter and a bit has been woeful not even running hard looks scared. My favorite player but he is reflecting a one year wonder... Or one that is happy to have an AA next to his name

Can't stay silent any more. Long-time Demonland reader, first time poster. Now my rant...

We are a club in serious trouble, 4 years into the Bailey plan and we're get smashed by the 2010 wooden spooner???

No forward pressure? No plan to work through a defensive zone? No centre breaks? Another slow start?

After 4 years a lot more questions than answers sadly. I'm one for holding players accountable - but these issues are not player driven.

It's going to be a long year.

Jones took his time giviing it to Watts.

Yeh I noticed that too. He was going to handball, saw it was Watts, and did an about turn, By the time he was forced to dispose, Watts was really under the pump.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
