I like Rhino's posts.

He is good at holding you and me to account for what we say. He is a good "crap" detector ... which was a term coined by Neil Postman way back in the late 1960s. Postman's main sources of "crap" were pomposity, fanaticism, superstition and inanity. In this internet age, where we tend to write instantaneously without thinking, a lot of us could do worse than using it.

I noticed Neeld's response to Eddie McGuire:

"I don’t know if it’s been blown out of proportion, because I don’t know about Eddie’s comments,” he said.

“Eddie is very passionate about Collingwood, and he was great and fantastic to me while I worked at Collingwood. And our guys are passionate about Melbourne, and that’s the way it goes.

“If there are positions that need to be filled at clubs and people want those positions, then that’s the way it goes.

“Every industry is filled with people who are at certain levels in companies and then move companies to get to a higher level, and I don’t think that’s unique to the footy world.”

No "crap" there, and a better response than getting all offended and wringing hands (in my opinion).

So you are saying it was a good reasoned no-crap response to Eddie's emotional irrational crap statements.

Fair enough

It will be terrific until Collingwood decide that the Queen's Birthday game should be shared.

Yeh, lets roll over like North did with the jumper. Make us all feel proud to be supporters.

Maybe, just maybe, taking a stand and not behaving like the whipping boys will bring us more success than letting people kick sand in our faces.

Maguire can stick the QB up his fat arse for all I care. If we lift our game we'll play Collingwood twice each year anyway.

Interesting term that.

Football is a very emotional issue for most on here so I guess that during the course of the year we can expect a lot of it.

Over the years the MFC and it's supporters have copped more crap than probably all the other clubs combined and I would guess that most on here would agree that enough is enough, so if some want to wring their hands over this latest outburst I don't really blame them; do you?

We could just sit back with our hands in our laps, but that would be more like the expected response from the [censored] weak MFC supporters.

So did Jeffrey Kennett (taking jobs). Never really gave either of them respect, and see one as a south park character (Eddie), and the other upstairs at Downtown Abbey. I love our classless society and look forward to the Dees raiding the premiership cup soon. In the mean time I will enjoy the sooks continue their crap

In the HUN today.

"Demons Sticking to their Guns"

McLardy said the club would continue to do "Whatever it takes" to be successful and are unrepentant in their pusuit of Jason Taylor.

At long last we are baring our teeth off field.

This is the Change in culture We've been after. Hoping it translates to the same change in culture on the ground.

I still can't work out what this is all about - talking to an Assistant Recruiting Manager ??????

Neeld was appointed Senior Coach ( and released with Malthouse's endorsement - no different to Sanderson, Watters, Brad Scott etc etc etc )

Leigh Brown was a retired player

Who else ?????

What a joke !

Typical bullyboy McGuire - must be channeling Bernie Edcclestone - must be undercurrents at Pieland

Terrible luck they seem to be having .

Must be the smell of a fish rotting at the head .

What kind of a fat fool sacks a premiership coach before his next season?

Just ridiculous .

Can't wait for the QB game .

Bodycount!

    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
