Brad Green on twitter 1 hr ago "Our performance was unacceptable, the players take full responsibility... Be strong red and blue"

They better take full responsibility!!

It seems all you need to do these days is say "I take full responsibility" and that's that!

No Brad, there will be consequences for you too. Your leadership has been a disgrace this year and you and your mates just contributed to a decent man losing his job.

I honestly can't stand watching Brad Green at the moment.

I don't know if it's fair and maybe I'm just looking for a scapegoat because I'm disgusted and angry, but even watching him being interviewed on Ch. 9 tonight, he seems so apathetic, so unattached, even his responses were half-hearted.

Why does Jared Rivers have to face the media, when Green is the captain? It's embarrassing.

If the rot starts from the head and we are going to remove the senior members of our footy department, than certainly we should remove the senior members of our footy team.

I wonder if it's getting the captaincy, that he now feels 'complete', as a player, or if he's changed since becoming a dad.

But this year he's changed & isn't 'Going In' like he started doing over the last 2 seasons. I feel short changed by his poor efforts with the captaincy badge.

As far as I'm concerned, if this is the way he's intending to playout his career with us,,, then he can take the GWS maoney & run as well... We don't want a 'Bruise Free' skipper showing soft efforts to the kids.

Make a choice Brad!

Pure and simple - Brad is not a leader.

Whats making it worst is that it is impacting on his performance on the field. I want the Brad Green from last year back, the player that had the respect of all supporters.

I think all members of the leadership group should be replaced by watts, scully, trengove, mckenzie, frawley. Let our future stars take ownership over this club and let our "senior" players worry bout getting a kick.

Now that is a worry.

Don't some people realise that when you choose! to become a leader or take a position of authority that part of the deal is that you will become the target (scapegoat) for any type of scrutiny or applause. If you choose! to be the head coach or captain, the reason why you get more scutiny and bonuses (higher pay) is because you will be the target who will have to deal with things whether they go good or bad.

If we had won by 186 points everyone would be saying how great a coach Bailey is and how great a leader Green was. So how can anybody be suprised how the blame is firstly directed at them and why they are the first to go and first to take the most abuse.

People there is this place called the real world where underperforming managers of companys get fired, Higher ranking officers in the military get demoted because of the actions of their! underlings. Its the whole reason they are called leaders!

I was all for Green being given a chance as captain because his performance last year proved he deserved it, but he has failed miserably this year. Dean Bailey I thought was a good choice at first but he has proven that he was unable to take this team to a standard that was expected this year. So Bailey was always going to be the first to go if things went bad or the first to be praised if things went great.

This does not get people futher down the chain of Lightly (I hope) but its only 1 day since the game so come on people be realistic.

What did you expect?

Great call..............he absolutely isn't going in like he used to over the past few years, and that is the most galling part.

He should be going in harder than ever now he is the captain, not backing off, and waiting for the kids to do the grunt work!

'' We are all in this together and yeah I feel like we have let him down a little bit''.......jeez Brad sounds like you are doing it pretty tough mate. I'm with you n Jaded, I can't believe this is who our kids are looking up to! Step down tomorrow please!

Whay are you talking about.. Green been crap all year, in comparison to his last 2 seasons... It's out there for all to see.

Mate sorry if I haven't come across clear enough. Green has been crap, I said that he has failed miserably this year.

I just can't understand the people saying how sacking Bailey straight away is to soon and that we shouldn't be focusing mainly on Green as he wasn't the only one out there.

He was the only captain out there and Bailey is the top of the food chain. It's how it goes. Something had to be done straight away.

Like your thinking Pipe, however I would replace one Tom Scully with one Jack Grimes but the rest meet the criteria. Nows the time for those who want to be here to step forward and if mister "I'm holding all contract talks to the end of the season" Scully can't put pen to f@$?ing paper this week and show his true allegiance then we don't need him on the list much less the leadership group. These young fella's all show tremendous pride in their weekly performances and that's what this group of young men need to see as the fundamental element of playing for this club. Go dees, F$&k the rest.

Ah sorry Agent, I reads the first half, thinking you were promoting what Greens been dishing up, but couldn't be bothered reading any more of it. I assumed you were his Agent. LOL.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
