to be any sort of a good side we CAN NOT LET side have a 5 goal jump.

Ok down 26 pts at the half. if we just loose, just its not good enough.

We have to believe in our self for the hole game, not just a qtr or two.

This game is making me feel physically ill. I can't cope with it anymore.

We are so bad, it's actually depressing.

Bartram, Watts, Grimes and Garland are working hard. Everyone else is asleep. WTF is going on with my man Frawley?!

It looks like such a lazy performance, and the joke is that WCE are actually pretty poor. We just keep gifting them goals.

Wanna start smoking too :blink:

inside 50's 34 to 11 but apparently we have a game plan

that's exactly what Bailey highlighted for us to address this year and has failed miserably so far.

I think I will be almost as disappointed if we outscore them 2nd half and save face, as this really is a DISGRACE.

just don't know how long this club can continue to be so pathetic. we only play well when the heat goes out of the game in tough matches.

you play the next week like you finished the week before? exact opposite in our case.

For me it comes down to the lack of hard work in the first, which improved in the 2nd.

It's Bout time they woke up its AFL and you wont get any where without hard gut running, tackles, intensity.

OK

So we are at half time..

Positives:

- Watts, presenting and marking extremely well.. Nice goal assist too

- Bail, taking the game on, just needs to work on execution to finish

- Garland, best defender tonight and is showing some ticker

- Jamar, getting beaten in the taps but trying around the ground

- Jones, trying and trying and trying...

Negatives:

- Frawley is no where the player he was last year at the moment

- Green is not showing on field leadership

- Game plan got run all over

- Cannot kick in after a point, we need to work on this!

- Grimes decision making is not right

- Sylvia doesn't work hard enough both ways, he is just frustrating

- We need to work on stoppages, they are smashing us and breaking free

- Wonna and Bennell - Do something!

- Our coach doesn't coach very well

Fells like the players are working out their own game plan each week - they have to watch the other team for a quarter first though!!

Certainly the **%## coach doesn't have one!!!

Absolute rubbish, these people are professionals both the players and the playing staff!

We as supporters shouldn't have to put of with this garbage. I dont usually come on here to complain and be extremely negative but after the 2006-2009 years we should never have to see this rubbish.

What happens after half time imo is irrelevant, this is a disgrace by so called professionals.

Atelast show some intensity! Do something! Make them earn atleast!!

Stefan Martin instead of shepperding ran to the spot Sylvia was running. What was he thinking.

Haha that had to make you laugh though! In Stef's defence, he's been one of three players to actually be respectable. Watts, Bail & Martin the only three.

we are the laughing stock of the competition yet again and im sick of it. Bailey is another Peter Rohde or Matthew Knights. Hes not upto being a senior coach. He doesnt demand respect and he has no plan B. Half of our team were superstar juniors yet develop into duds?? i dont think so. Its about coaching and development!!

No workrate, no intensity no skills! That comes from the top!

Brad green is not a leader, circa 2004-2009. Get him to full forward and leave him there. Never has been a midfielder

Well... half time. We're close enough to keep me watching - just.

Leigh Matthews had a bit to say about our game plan a couple of weeks ago.

He said: "It's very risky the way the MFC midfield put their heads down and sprint to the forward line whenever a team mate has the ball... if there is any mistake made, the turnover will crucify them."

I am really worried about the development of our young players. If they spend long enough with this game plan, they'll end up much less than they should.

I think Bailey is an assistant coach (and a very good one) but i do not think he is the General we need.

This team has incredible skill potential that must be harnessed. This is not a player problem tonight.

U kidding me right??? Who has been kicking the ball outta bounds??? Who has been missing targets by foot??? Who's been handballing to players under pressure???

I was going to say that Morton makes Watts look like a hard arse. In fact Watts has been in our best, with Garland, Jamar and Trengove. Watts will only get better, Morton is always going to be the new Cameron Bruce.

I feel very cross at the moment and will probably regret my very negative sentiments. Its not very Zen at all.

I'M JUST SO SICK OF THESE PATHETIC STARTS. WE ALWAYS DO THIS INTERSTATE. ARE WE MENTALLY PATHETIC??

    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.
