I think our performances will be improved to the rest of the year.

It will be interesting to see how the AFL reacts and which way they go as to player assistance, if any. As I have said before, money itself will not solve the onfield performance. Coaching, recruiting and development will all play their part.

Yes but you failrd to answer the true question in this thread.

Is Banana or Chocolate the best favour?

Redleg there is nothing new in the following however i feel complelled to make it again.

I have always believe you play to win every game.

When the season ends you start worrying about draft picks.

Numerous teams have shown you can build your list without very earlier picks.

The MFC during the period 2008 - 2011 tried to be too clever and we know where that ended.

The AFL knows we are in poor straits both on and off the field.

IMO the team is not capable of winning more than another two or three games at the max for the balance of this year.

We need to remember so far we have beaten GWS and the Dogs who are of similar talent to ourselves.

Baring a miracle I cannot see much improvement for the remainder of the year.

I would love it to and the AFL reduce assistance.

IMO the assistance will not alter between now and the end of the year.

Reality will return next Sunday.

Obviously I am not expecting us to beat the Swans but I think we will play better for the rest of the year.

It is clear that a weight has been lifted off the player's shoulders and as many of us said, our performances were too bad to be true.

the main thing I hope that happens is that Craig perserveres with the younger and new players and gives them games. That said I want Byrnes at Casey. On Rodan's game saturday he deserves another couple.

I agree with you Redleg I just think a win over the Dogs does not prove a lot in the scheme of things. I still think we have a very ordinary list until I see otherwise .

Now if we got to within five goals of the Swans on Sunday then my view might change.

however I think I have now come to the view that Neeld was an ordinary coach.

Craig will get more out of this team especially if he can get two or three back from injury

No time to sit on the fence.

Make your choice clear and without any doubt.

As I think you a leaning towards chocolate but too afraid to say it.

It is the thing called hope, OD. A narrow win over the Dogs doesn't change much, as you said, but at least now there is the prospect of going to the footy without wondering why we bothered on the way home.

Spot on. I now see a glimmer of hope where there was none .

I would add that I was thinking on the way there why I was bothering going!

I could understand that. That sense of dread. Of hope turning to the inevitable malaise. Whatever slivers of joy we extract from season 2013 will be savoured. I dont see the weather as being any much better but over on yonder I thought for a moment I saw a glimmer of blue sky. Like the eye of a storm there is still much rain and wind to endure but its turning from half empty to half full.

Theres an end in sight..and just beyond , anew beginning ( another one lol )

Following Melbourne is a bit like chasing rainbows isnt it !! :rolleyes:

Must be time for morning coffee....and cake :)

BB, it would seem from your first post there that you're heavily reliant on eyesight going forward. I would recommend carrot cake for you at this point!

You know rusty that all stems from the WW2 were the Poms put out the story that they were superior to the Germans in fighter planes because they ate lots of carrots which improved their eye sight.

The reality is was 99% crap and Propaganda.

To get an advantage you needed to eat massive volume of carrots over a long period of time and even then the affect was marginal.

Sound familiar?

Bomber PR department!

Well I was trying to keep Bb's visionary flame burning there OD. Although going by his latest thread it wld appear his positivity hasn't skipped a beat. You seem to have the inside running on carrots. Is there something heroic in your past that you haven't told us about? Retired WW2 ace maybe?

P.S. I think the bombers were eating too many bananas and attracted a few wild monkeys and those monkeys just may have brought in some funny bananas of their own!

Great to hear, or should I say SEE, Bb. Nothing wrong with the humble carrot.

P.S. Rohan Welsh is on SEN soonish. Bout to discuss Casey and Hulk etc for those who're interested.

Gee Rusty I am not that old mate, My father was on the kokoda track does that count.

Do not agree with the Bombers / bananas.

Bananas only bring joy the bombers never do!

    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.
