Not worth the read. More dribble.

So you have no interest at all that the article covers what has been debated in about 6 separate threads on Demonland?

No interest in hearing a non-posters opinion on topics covered on Demonland?

And, more surpisingly, no opinion other than to dismiss it as dribble?

Wow.

I actually think it's an excellent article and Schwass raises a number of salient points. A man of Pagan's experience and qualifications should be an absolute must on a coaching selection panel, and his point about making Trengove Captain next year (and the reasoning for it)is not only interesting but valid.

Agree WD I think it is the best article I have read about the Dees this year.

Also the Author knows a bit about what he is talking about.

Unlike a lot of the media who are making comment.

He has been on the inside in similar circumstances.

Good piece and I agree with most of it. Only thing I disagree with is putting Ricky Bobby up for trade. Dees need to keep him, is a valuable part of our forward line and when key position players develop he will reap the benefits of being a 3-4 target.

A good article imo, even though I don't agree with all of it. Well worth the read.

Good article, well worth the read. Sounds to me that Dennis would make a good Director of coaching, we have all seen that Geelong has benifited haveing Neil Balm all be it as footy manager being the hard arse who is the face of the tough decisions.

Not a whole to argue with that is there. :huh:

I wholeheartedly agree with the notion its time to stop mucking around. The new coach will need to drag a few screaming into the real world...and dispense a few at the same time.

When you want Roses to be healthy and bllom theres some serious pruning to be done. Its going to be interesting. I dont think Mick is in the market for 2012.

Great suggestion to bring Pagan on board to help select someone.

Well written & all should be taken on board...all players are on notice after last week.

I could not agree more with that article no grudges, no rhetoric, just the truth plain and simple.

If I could write an article for the papers that would be it.

I too reckon that was a really good article, one of the best I've read about us all year. I would question trading Ricky Petterd, Jamie Bennell and maybe Joel Mac, but other than that there is pretty much nothing else there I could disagree with.

I'd be happy to see Joel Mac stay but it's a disaster having both he and Warnock in the same backline. Bennell is a player that will give you about 15 minutes a game and that's it, he looks very good for that 15 minutes but that just isn't enough.

Ricky Petterd or Colin Sylvia are pretty much the same type to me keep one and let the other go or keep one as a spare. Ricky does show a bit more aggro than Colin but Colin is a better kick.

    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 sta

    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
