My first post so here goes. Paid up member and long time fanatical supporter.

Like all I am gutted and want the truth whatever that may be. In the interests of the bigger picture here, the members are owed the truth, the club, board, coaches and players can no longer hide. It's gone we'll past the point of further cover up. Time to bare it all and start again.

I implore those at the heart of this to clean the slate and stop hiding behind the club. You will be found out..so step out from behind the shadows and do something about it.

Someone surely has the guts to do this.

Welcome to DL mate. Sadly people have said this time and time again and yet 6 years on we still wait.

I would not expect anything anytime soon. If even CW and Sheahan cannot grind out what is under the covers then we wont know for a while.

I hate to say it but I am not blaming the media for half the crap they spat out last year. I feel that they may have been going easy...

You want the truth..


Listen to Wayne Carey.... They look like footballers, they even talk like footballers.

But they sure as hell don't play like footballers.

Unfortunately we all support a bunch of women.

Jack Viney comes in and the onus is on him to even speak to these little sooks.

Viney don't care about nothing, that kid took a shot off Wojo, brushed it off like it aint no thing.

We need go-getters at this club, someone tell the board that.

WE DO NOT NEED CLASSY SKIRTSMEN, we won't even be a club by the time they come good.

I would like to see Neita and other strong past heroes front up and demand to get involved to help out. I don't see or hear them.

Alot of them have ft jobs or other lives they are living now. If one of your past workplaces was going to [censored] I highly doubt you would walk away from what you are doing and rock up demanding to be involved.

Whose their now need to fix things, not past employees.

He presented the new players' jumpers before the game. It's not much, but it's more than most have done.

I have never really understood the desire to call out every former 'great' of the club to come down and save us, Lyon, Schwarz, Neitz etc. We need changes at the very top, not ex-footballers with little to no business nouse. And even if they were to help out in the football department, none of them have any coaching experience. The most they could do is the odd chat to the boys about what the club means, which all of them already do anyway. We need good, no great, business people that none of us have probably ever heard of to come in and get this ship back on course, not some bloke just because he used to take a good grab and kick a few goals.

    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

    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
