Disappointing thus far.......and meek.

Where's that Neeld shut down plan?

Worst effort of the season so far. They cant handle the new game plan of going wide. Just keep kicking it out of bounds and turning it over with no plan "B". I thought we were going to be "the hardest team to play against"? What bull. We started season soft and still soft but at least we haven't lost any ground from last year I suppose. I thought also Misson was a genius and going to improve our fitness? Half the list unavailable through injury? This is really a limp effort. Davis for Dunn, Gysberts for Bate, Blease to start ( and for Chr..t sake get him signed pronto, if you can't hand in your badges, the only quick player we have) Cook in also and lets see what we have got. Maybe Tynan also. Surely its time for some of them after watching this.

Anyone else happy with Blease today? I really am, he is not polished but his speed and endeavor is something really valuable. I can see him being a good player for us going forward. Sign him up!

He's an interesting one. There's a lot to like about him and I reckon he's got a good future with us, but clearly he has issues with Neelds non negotiables. I hope he stays in because he has excellent speed on him, something we really lack.

IMO a better option the the likes of Bail and Davey.

Blease is a non Neg!

The kid takes the game on, he represents everything we arent - so I see why he clashes with Neeld!

Keep Blease at all costs!

its funny - in other sides a down day allows players to stand up and get noticed and push for selection. But not in Melbourne, well other than Blease (who never should have been out in the first place!)

As far as I am aware Gysberts is still injured or recovering from a bad injury or he'd be in. He will be a gun I think.

stuie, you and I could have coached the players he had to a flag/s.

Errrr..... that's a bit silly... Would they have been as good with a different coach? ie: Bailey or Neeld?... hmmmmmmm

He's been back at Casey for 2 weeks I think and has been really good, he'll get a game next week, guaranteed.

I'm sure that quote is a massive regret from Mark, but did he say, "in 2012 we will be the hardest team to play against"? No.

He said it is his aim to make Melbourne the hardest team to play against. We are the very definition of a work in progress. And IMO weare better than last year, not much but improving.

Mission can't work miracles in one year - this year is all about 2013.

    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
