Bailey stuffed this club down the toilet.

Neeld et al have pulled the chain.

Remember:

  • we are now paying 100% salary cap
  • coahing panel cost must have gone up 400%

Sick of people saying this is Bailey's fault. He took us to over 8 wins last year, do you see us getting anywhere near that this year?

And get your facts straight, we are NOWHERE near 100% of the salary cap, we're around 92%.

The players aren't playing for the coach,period.

It shows every week in the effort/intensity and today we laid 51 tackles when they had all the play.

Watts goes back and plays as a spare man,gets 34 touches and 1 tackle FFS!!! The ball was in his area 80% of the game and he won't tackle.

At least if you send him back,play him on an opponent for his development which will help him as a forward,anyone can run around with no opponent and get 34.

I'm sick to death of Sylvia,gone at the end of the year,he is pissweak.

Howe can't kick to save himself,adds 1 grab to his highlight reel each week,Tassie league standard.

Trengove is going backwards very quickly,Jones should have been made Captain and should be next year,what's Grimes done onfield?

Beamer is playing like he's already signed with the Bombers,good riddance.

No point in playing Green at 31,give his games to a teenager,even Petterd maybe but he's going nowhere but i'd still have him over Green.

Like i said,the players are not playing for the coach and it will get a lot worse from here.

Neeld is trying to give us the defence that Bailey had no idea about but we are all downhill skiiers and it's all too hard for our pea hearts.

This is the worst i've ever felt as a Dee Member,worse than 186.

Can't wait to see Neeld's press conference. Be interesting to see if we are expected to swallow the same crap from the club, or if he'll go for something more impassioned. I think we are owed some heart from someone. Maybe he is the one.

What's wrong with Grimes? The guy has lost all confidence. Same with Trengove. Massive mistake IMO putting those two under so much pressure with the captaincy.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing...or is it?

I thought we had hit rock-bottom a week ago, but no, this team is taking us to previously unknown depths. At least last week we played 20 minutes of solid footy, but this week I struggled to find one passage of play which might indicate some hope for the future. I'm absolutely gutted, and ashamed of my team tonight!

From the outside looking in, it would appear that Neeld has treated alot of players with little respect. Now they are returning the favour. The club is in crisis mode.

Actually think that may be spot on.

None of us know it as fact obviously, but instinct is really feeling that.

Maybe he thinks that they have to earn his respect unlike a previous useless coach we had.

From the outside it looks like the older players thought they could just ride on respect whether it was earned or otherwise.

Didnt they do similar to Bailey or the board pre/during 186? seems to be a trend

Want to hold the coach and the members to the dogs if your knickers get in a knot? Do so elsewhere.

Now, I wasn't in the country (thankfully) win 186 occurred, but I get the feeling that this may not have been too far off in terms of an insipid performance.

The only thing that I am taking away from this game is an overwhelming sense of guilt for having subjected my young son to this. I have to admit that we bailed out at three quarter time.

The only thing worth seeing was Howes mark of the year, and that happened on the opposite side of the ground, so we didn't even get to enjoy that!

I spent the second and third quarters mentally piecing together an email I would like to send to the club... if it is still in my head come tomorrow, I may write it.

Forget 0-11 we could be 0-22 the way we are going. We will be lucky to beat gws and GC.

Aint footy fun!!!!!!!

Based on what I saw today, we will definitely lose to both of those teams... absolutely no doubt about it!!

The pressure may be on the afl to give us a priority pick if we finish bottom

that is not enough....

the AFL will need to appoint an independent review committee to select the draftee (something we will screw up otherwise)

then they will need to appoint best AFL practice independent development coaches (not those who are learned in losing cultures eg Royal, Rawlings etc)

and then they will need to coach them how to play in a team....

AFL socialism is all that is helping us survive at the moment

I recall that happening at Shitihed Stadium a few years back. The only highlight for me and war office was a big mark over the pack to Newton. HOWE times haven't changed... :wacko:

I spent all of 2 minutes thinking of what i would write the club after the first half...2 words.... [censored] and WEAK!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
