Richmond - who were bottom 2 in 09/10

Essendon - who's coach was a dead man walking at the time.

Which means that 12 of his 18 wins have come at the MCG against interstate teams in which we have a distinct advantage.

Which means that he has a 4-41 record against Vic clubs and continually fails the same tests over and over.

Not good figures when your contract is due to expire.

I think that this year is seeing a magnifying of his coaching stats. Even teams that have been rebuilding don't have as damning statistics. He is in trouble. And the next month's schedule doesn't help. He should start looking for another job.

So is our Captain.

Let's not read into it too much, how many of these teams have been top 8 since he started coaching? Geelong, St Kilda, Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs and Carlton. Realistically, the only team that the MFC should have beaten, but haven't beaten that they should have is North Melbourne.

how is it we played Collingwood twice and almost won both times last year ?

well that was last year, this is this year and we won't get anywhere near them in a few weeks time>

I think you need to be as well as be a good coach you need plenty of luck and DB has none !! He is snake bit, bad kama!!!

I really do believe the loss of Sean Wellman has left a huge hole !!

There is no self-awareness here at all.

If you quietly wished Jordan McMahon to kick that goal, you cannot throw Bailey's win/loss record back at him.

We tanked/experimented/whatever-you-want-to-call-it and it was gooooood!

His win/loss record is meaningless and to bring it up is pointless.

True to a point. Yes we all wanted the draft picks but to be honest we weren't good enough to win. Early in the year we were clearly trying to win as many games as possible but we weren't good enough to. Later in the year with some creative team selection we negated the slim chance we might have had in some games. But there must be a time where you start examinig the succees/failure of the coach/team. If we all agreed that last year we were trying every week and that this year is the same then we should look at the stats for that period and the remaining games this year. Surely they will have some relevance to whether he is reappointed. I know it is not the only factor to be considered but it will come into the equation along with gameplan, player development, fitness, attitude etc.

The point is: will his record against Vic teams improve, now that we've stopped tanking (we have stopped tanking, haven't we?)

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
