Well there is one player who I won't have to watch in the red and blue this year.

Universally, everyone's worst on the game day thread.

I would rather play one short, at least that way there are less turnovers.

OMG we have recruited Mark Neeld to play for us!!!!!!!!

Not universally if you consider dream team points from the game. Player X finished just in the top half equal with Jimmy Toumpas and ahead of the co-captain who you sponsor Redleg. And well ahead of the likes of Tom McDonald and Sam Blease not to mention youngsters like Dom Barry and Max King. Contrary to popular misconception, statistics don't lie.

And people who relied on them got us into the trouble we were in.

According to the statistics, we should dump all of those named players and keep X.

Dream team points!!!!!!!!!!!

So that is all you have to hang your hat on WJ

For a x premiership player he should be out leading the band not being to compared kids making the way at the start of their careers.

The guy is so far over the hill he cannot be seen with a telescope.

God deliver us.

OD the pain for the MFC has already started.

We are paying too much for a coach who and win on 50% of games played.

Wait am I too early to start me AFL season drinking to dull the pain?

Funny thing is I don't even own a hat.

Dream team points is one thing and his skills on the ground are another. He set up a couple of goals and didn't constantly turn over the ball as much as a few others and I hope your eyesight improves.

No pain for me so far DF

If anything they are ahead of my expectations.

In the last seven years we have never been remotely close to the cats.

I know they had a number out from their best but so did we.

We are starting 2014 from the pit lane

That said we still have a large number of VFL standard players and Byrnes is the leader of the pack.

We are heading the right way IMO

With the exception of the super claimant WJ I agree with your other comments.

I see improvement already on the twin troughs of 2012 /13.

There are still some better players to come in and as someone else said I get the feeling I will be able to go to most games in 2014 feeling we have a chance.

PS The eye sight is fine particularly when I open both!

I won't stand for lies on this thread. Unless you lease the hats you wear, or borrow them from MRS. WJ, they must be your hats that I have seen you in. BTW, they are pretty ordinary hats.

I have mixed feeling about this.

But after a seven year rebuild I will be satisfied with nothing less then a Premiership or three.

Correct me if I am wrong but is not Byrnes a dual Premiership player?

Over the hill and far away will be the cry.

Well at least one of my teams won a Premiership in 2013.

Nothing better then watching your team win a flag against one of your most hated teams.

Caps are not hats.

Mind you, talking about stuff you borrow from the missus, I must say the dress you wore at lunchtime on Wednesday was quite captivating.

I was doing undercover at the Gat for the Fed Police. Now you have blown it. You may be liable to charges.

BTW I think the off the shoulder look suits me.

Believe it or not most came from my father and are only stored in the grey matter.

They are probably going to fade with me R and B.

    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
