Well after reading all the doom and gloom posts I think it's time to step back and think with a clear head. Yes it has been a hard season, hopes were dashed and dreams of finals shot but out of the the train wreck things will change for the better a new coach (hard nosed I hope) and dare say new assistants with a game plan with structures that have to be followed (as much as I liked DB I think that was one of his weaknesses) you will see players learn the art of how to play as a finals team ever week one that never goes down without a fight thats what we all want.

As for wanting to get rid of certain players we have a young list body wise and game wise, I remember people on this site canning Frawley, Garland, Jamar etc and people seem to forget how good Mortan was in his first year one has to remember some players get lost for a while and maybe the role they asked him to play was not for him, look at Leon Davis moved into the backline and he is a different player so there is hope.

While DB introduced new players into the side our body shape has never really changed except for a certain few and I bet whoever takes over will change all that then and then you will see the confidents grow, look at the Cats. Pies, Hawks and even the Saints and if you go back in the past they all had that trait.

As for the troubles that have hit the club, seems the club has put the shutters down and sorting it out like good clubs do and we will again have a united board, so I take this view I don't know all the facts do you? and until I do I cannot blame anyone as there is always two sides to a story.

So yes I am still looking forward to the next season with the same hopes so to all those in despair take a Bex and have a lay down

Can people not start a new thread everytime they post. This post fits nicely into many of the existing threads, as do many of the new threads started recently. It makes it hard to keep track.

What a breath of fresh air, there has been so much crap going on about our dismal season that it makes me wonder whether I want to be a Demons supporter and member (a boy of 10 in 1956 meeting senior players from the club when they played in Devonport against the North West Football Union) and being a member of the club since 1990 and eat breath and sleep with any snippet of news from the club and this web amongst others.

Remember what has happened since Jimmy took over the reigns as president, wiping out the huge debt, getting rid of a lot of players that were not up to the standards of being an AFL player or being at the end of their career and not being a part of the future of the club, new sponsors, big and small,

moving from the Junction Oval to AAMI with some of the best facilities of any club re training, and of cause the new squad of players including Watts, Trengove,Frawley, Garland, Grimes,Howe,Martin,Gawn,Mckenzie,Maric,Blease,Tapscott,Nicholson,Petterd and you the readers of this may be able to add more, some of these proved some to prove themselves but none with many games under the belt and once this squad get games behind them (60 to 80) things will improve and improve rapidly. I have not included Scully in the above mentioned younger players and to be quite honest I don't think he will be as good as a Trengove so let him go to the GWS and we will be better off not only in the salary cap but our extra draft choices will be an added benefit to the team.So to all of you doubters take a Bex, Panadol, Panamax or an Aspirin and settle down

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
