If you can find them and single them out for me I would appreciate it. I've got a dose of reality for both parties that says we aren't going well because of the past, but looking forward things will be gradually on the up despite false dawns recently.

Very good point and are very unlikely to pay the payroll tax in 2013 bb

Perhaps 2014?

yeah...id be thinking that..

Depending upon the result of the 3 ring circus we all love as EOS and how our lot shape up ( on paper) there may well be an eyebrow raised from a slumbering long time sufferer. But just as that old yella type of hound pricks its ears it will only get up for something substantial. 14 might well be that time after a years reasonable and satisfactory effor and withot reservation , deal breaker, rise up the ladder.

weve all gone over this chestnut any number of times but if there was ever a sleeping giant come membership of an AFL team , its us.

Runs on the board and we could strike out to 50,000 I have no doubt. With all the ancillary benefits that come of that.

In the mean time We all hang around like the pained waiting in the dentists waiting lounge. :mellow: Filling, extraction, whateever......just make the pain stop !!!

I estimate there are a couple of dozen on Land H_T

as an example Hardnut is convinced all our troubles have been the coach.

I never really expected him too leave

The embarrassment would have been to much for Eddie and company to endure.

Now all he has to do is earn it.

Pressure mounts very quickly if you get paid big Monte Carlo's and play like a teddy bear.

Not sure how the Pies are going to pay everyone in 2013 and beyond.

Yeah well, some don't want to even contemplate alternate views no matter what is put forward. Set in their ways with the blinkers on.

He's delivered on his promise to shake up the joint and go down a track unfamiliar to many within the melbfc. A professionally run outfit. Rome wasn't built in a day and he needs players to play roles and cattle. Quality cattle which he hasn't got.

Some people talk about wins of the past, some of those players have moved on, different dynamic, different path now. Different coach.

In a month or two's time the playing list will be significantly different to 2012. It's a tough job and initiation for any rookie coach.

I shouldn't have to go on about our midfield, you've read it all before.

We are headed for a very interesting few weeks. When all is said and done, if we could get a couple of good mids in trading, like Wellingham and say Stevens, then draft a few more like JV ,Toumpas and maybe MacRae, we would be far better off than we are currently.

Bloody amazing

Good ball handling skills and strong on both sides

A lot of forward progress and still an emphasis on containment.

It would appear some overindulgence with complexity to satisfy what could be analysed as a simple outcome.

Has maybe some comparisons with our game.

with the right tools and systems a consistent outcome can be expected. Even some of the randomness still achieves the required result.

There is order in the chaos.

Sorry just diverted into an old obsession.

    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.
