Roost - you're kidding yourself, the greatest coach in the world could not change today's result. We have a woeful list that seems to be completely unable to listen to coaches instructions. Lets not start this bulshite about a new coach, lets make the players accountable for once hey!. Neeld is not the problem here!!!! anyone with football knowledge would know we have one of the best coaching panels in the league its a shame we have a reserve grade playing roster and you cannot blame the current coaches for that!, get angry at the players.

The main difference between Neeld and Roos, is that Roos can turn average characters into passionate footballers, Neeld has not inspired any passion at all. Not even after big Jim died.

Neeld is very very dangerous to the spirit of this football club and supporter base. Even if the players are fitter, there is nothing more dangerous than losing your spirit.

He is not the only one, Craig lost the Adelaide boys, they became spiritless, albeit after 7 years of relative success.

Sheedy held the spirit of the club together for 25 years.

Malthouse for over 10 years

Matthews for about 10 years

Roos for about 8 years

Neeld seems to kill our spirit. I don't know why, but he has even killed my spirit. He seems like kryptonite. He even sapped Nathan Jones. How can pro footballers be so disinterested.

Maybe its Neelds style.

If we don't show fight against the bombers, Neeld must be replaced. Im not talking about winning, just spirit. The raw basic ingredient. If Spirt is not there, then knock on Roos door. Let Viney be caretaker, at least we will fight our way thru games.

Losing our most passionate player in Moloney was a wakeup call that the spirit was dying.

I try my best to buy in to Neelds vision, but boy he makes it bloody hard.

Roos won't touch us. Snubbing Kevin Sheedy has set us back 10 years. Seriously Who The F--K where we to knock back a very rare chance to get a 4 time premiership coach at our club as the main man.

Would have also helped with gaining some respect back to the club.

Not correct really. Neeld has probably lost me too, but Jones clearly had his best season last year. Finally delivered and stepped up. That was under Neeld.

    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

    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.
