In what has been a totally wasted decent draw for the MFC - it is TIME to clear the decks.

Coaches - Williams, West, Royal, Mahoney - all have to answer for a pathetic season. Sack them.

Players - too many under-performers to mention. Dont know where to start in the culling!

I just hope and prey that the MFC is ruthless during the trade period and move on or delist those who have [censored] all over the jumper this year!

I only want those to stay in a MFC jumper who will kill for success and bleed for the jumper and club, not [censored] all over it.

Lets just take next year off and go holidaying through 2012. Lease the players out & off.

By the way, why did the assistants go so bad to warrant Us sacking all of them? I'd like to know before we sign on for this.

I will look forward to the day that Royal is sacked, has ruined the best part of our team, undid all of Wellman's good work, Mahoney should be sacked, has never once shown us any form of forward structure and doesn't have the ability to work with our forward line so it functions in a way that complies with our players in there, Mark Williams, i think is the coach for centre bounces, never once shown us anything in any shape of form of how to get it out of there unless Jamar taps it to Moloney

Players Traded

Mcnamara-Proved today why he was kept in the VFL for so long

Maric-Had his chances, this year was his year, blew it.

Bate-No comment.

Dunn- Plays for the free rather than playing for the ball, had his chances, blew them.

Johnston- Shown nothing this year, the only player on the list to do so.

Spencer- Campbell is 20 times better than him, Gawn has overtaken him, Martin and Jamar are startig 22, time to go, shown nothing and can't kick.

Warnock- Never given a real go at AFL level apart from 09. Will be sorely missed next year, is the best insurance for a key back in the league, will look for a new home and more AFL game time.

Players to Target

Fevola- Will be an enigma and has proven he is capable, 4 on the supposed All-Australian full back, please, sign him up!

Boak- Port is terrible, is too good for them, is too good a player, but i think has signed a contract, won't get him

Myles Sewell- Dominates the VFL, great clearance player and is a run-with type. The better version of Bartram, frees up Bail to the wing/half back

Dawes- Wants cash at pies and they can't give it to him, is proven and is far too good to overlook.

Anyone else have suggestions??

Only one suggestion : CALM DOWN

Have an early night, then go back and look at your post.

It might help you put some logic into your obvious (and not without reason) frustration.

Meaning? So for MFC would that be kids born in postcode 3000?

Just the people who grew up supporting the Dees. So:

Judd

Franklin

Pendlebury

Gaff

Grimes &

Moloney

Gee we'd have a pretty good team!

Heavy culling is for people who have given up on development. Melb has made a serious commitment to development. I don't believe there will be any heavy culling. Trades will be applicable in about 3 years times when we know how enough of our young kids have progressed and we know what we want. eg Pies, Ball Jolly Brown Tarrant Krakour

A very Harsh call on all our assistants...Deep Breath and realize one thing...They were working under a guideline of Dean Bailey, He has been moved on so things may change.

Let the MFC secure a new Head Coach before any more Hiring or Firing is done...Coaches or Players.

This is NOT the year for a clean out. With all the GWS picks and the fact that the draft is very shallow we should not have a big clean out, we might also want to upgrade a couple of rookies as well so we have to take that into account. Minimal changes this year, next year is the year for big changes if we want to go down that path, there'll be much more talent available deep into the draft.

First: appoint new senior coach.

Second: put the team around him that will help him get results (may require some tweaking to the assistants and the footy department)

Third: List review, taking a reality check of the players, their potential roles and where we see them in 2012 and beyond

Fourth: Clean-out of players. Trade / delist etc. We have lots on contract, so don't expect magic if we cant trade.

Fifth: Recriut and draft what is missing.

It is a severly compromised draft, so I could imagine the rookie list as being a source of a few of our selections.

The clean out will come, but in its own time and maybe not as drastically as some would want when their 'blood is up'.

we need to get rid of the players who just can't play their best every week.

their allowed to have there bad days but when you keep hanging on to a player because your waiting for there good to finally arrive it's just not worth keeping them.

Time to move morton, bate,dunn,warnock,spencer, newton, maric, campbell. im not trying to be harsh but these players arn't going to be in the team unless there is an injury. we need players fighting for a spot when someone is playing bad not because their filling in someones spot because of an injury. no more 'just incase someone is injured' player we need players that we actually need.

we need a big bodied mid, and a eddie betts type

and we should be doing everything we can to get them

    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
