Really interested to hear what is said on the show tonight! Being in Brisbane though, we do not get the show, so i would appreciate any recaps or what ever! !?

Would have been nice if they'd averaged those stats out across games played. Are we 17th for tackles because we've played one game less? Might even get up to 16th if we're lucky.

Disgraceful stat considering the amount of time we haven't had the ball this year.

Garry went in pretty hard...He wants to see the next 6 weeks before making any decision..

The Stats for that first Q were worse than the GC Suns, regardless of the scoreline.

those stats were sickening.... all the KPI possible and we are ranked 15-16-17 and i think thats for the year not just against WC

What else were you expecting?? I thought G Lyon was straight down the line.

I was expecting him to say "No, I don't want he *&%ing job", after being ribbed into giving an answer to a question that was barely given a thought.

Or "you've got 4 weeks to sort it out or things must move on for next year without Bailey".

I think our young bodies have trouble making the tackles stick.

Not an uncommon problem for young developing players, and we have an abundance of them.

As much as our impatient supporters might not like to wait longer, unfortunately this is what we must do.

A change of coach won't change much at all; in fact a change of gamestyle may push us further away from true contention.

Time is the only answer.

G Lyon has repeatedly said he will not coach, so that is old news, your second point he said 6 weeks rather than 4, but said it with Media Diplomacy.

So i think you got your answers.

Pretty damning stats they showed.

This time Last year we were the no1 tackling team in the comp.

This year we are the last.

Can't really blame the coach forthis. Im sure he hasn't told the players to tackle and pressure less.

Responsibilty needs to rest with the players, and they are the only ones that can fix it.

Yes those Stats are over the season thus far....apalling, regardless of games played. Those Stats are team standards for any club.

I can bloody well blame the coach for that. What the hell are we paying him for if not to get the best out of the players? Either he is telling them something they do not understand or they are not listening. Either way he is not doing a good enough job.

This is exactly what the Coach must turn around in the next few weeks....Imagine if we played some shockers like last week in the 50's-60's, would we not expect Norm Smith to fix the problem???? I think yes.

Do you think he was telling them to tackle last season but told them to stop doing it this season?

He played a very aggressive straight bat to his position in all this, and tried to make small of it all. But did let slip the figure 6 - 8 weeks,,, prior to saying the next 16 rnds. I thought that interesting.

As far as coaching Mentors is concerned I felt he tried to 'shut down' caro's talk of the odd arrangement between Port and Laidley. He agreed quietly and moved it rapidly on. *IMO Garry knows a lot more than he's letting on. He is out of contract @ 9, this year. Channell 9 missed the TV rights again! What can a good Kew boy do?

I distinctly get the feeling that the Board,,, or,,, some Part of the club is agitating for a change of Coach. As long as they can get a Topliner.

My question is that if it was unanimous within the Board, their wouldn't be all this media speculation, as Bails is out of contract this year.

So why all this apparently orchestrated electronic media push to undermine our coach amongst the supporters/members. If it was the wishes of the Board, it would be done inhouse. But it's not like that, so why??? And who's driving it???

The lacking support from within the club is also surprising in this scenario. If they want him gone, they don't have to play these mind games, he's out of contract this year.... They're trying to force something, but what?

Have I missed something too Obvious?

Orchestrated push? I'm one of the first in the main group and an admin, if there was a push I'd bloody well know about it by now.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
