Damming evidence to the organisation...

The Club has nowhere to hide...start talking real to the members.

No more happy spin....None.

Don't think this has to come from the coach, he's only been there a year and the ship was already in a sorry state before he took the helm, something should be coming from the board or administration. Would genuinely like to know what's gone so horribly wrong.

So would i mate. And if we keep hammering we the members will find out.

And no i don't blame the coaches, this is a long term wound.

Fitzroy-esque.

Fitzroy's last few years were really bad but there have been far worse teams over longer periods. If I remember correctly Fitzroy flogged us by 10 goals in the last round of 1993. They were OK in the early part of the decade. And it was hardly poor drafting that hurt them: they were just not financially viable as a team. What's Melbourne's excuse? Fitzroy was a victim of league politics. Melbourne is a victim of its own ineptness.

Carlton was very, very bad for periods in the 00s.

Richmond has been bad in large periods since the early '90s.

Melbourne's 2010 and 2011, excluding 186, were OK, nothing more.

If anything the last few years have been Richmond-esque: fall to the bottom, show a glimmer of hope, and then fall back down again.

Agree. From round 2 2010 (loss to Collingwood by 1 pt) to round 17 2011 (win over Port in Darwin) we were actually a half decent side. Remember we were in the 8 after beating Richmond in round 15 2011.

Then the wheels have totally fallen off since 186 and we haven't recovered.

Something started to go seriously wrong in about August 2010 The club was beginning to stand, but something or someones went horribly wrong in that period, and whatever it is is still within the walls.

The entie club is effected. It has to be.

I have never seen such a half effort by an entire team as i saw last sunday bar 3-4 players.

I still do not understand the psyche of it

It gets worse when you consider that we won four games in 2007 [the year we allegedly tanked] and only a solitary game last year [when we didn't tank]!

Sorry - is this news to some of you??

Where the hell have you been the last 6 years?!??

1 more loss is only that - 1 loss.

Where was this angst and calling for heads last season?

NB. It's just as stupid to do it now...

[censored] poor attitude from you. You just expect everyone to keep sucking mediocrity up. If there are fools around here you must be the biggest of the lot.

Just another season...

Your attitude is part of the cancer Jens.

It might be just my memory (I was pretty young) but my recollection of the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s is that we were worse then than any time in the last 6 years. The data may not stack up that way - but I know that is how I felt during that long, dark, lean period.

Old Dee, WJ or anyone else who is 55+, what are your recollections?

Disagree.we we a poor side then but far more competative. More like declining rather than permanent bottom feeders that we are now. Edited by Muvver Jones

FFS.

We're 1 single game into this season.

Ok then, what did you expect to see this season?

And do you think it's acceptable to sack a coach after 1 season & 1 game?

i will not accept what i saw last sunday.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES MAN.

We have so many soft [censored] supporters now.

I don't blame them...It's just sad.

Still not a word from the Ivory Tower....

The next month is as important as any in our history.

If we continue on the same path, we will be in dire straights as crowds will drop dramatically. Neeld and his players have t ofind something. Show some real spirit and the supporters will keep supporting.

I haven't made any excuses.

I've asked pertinent questions.

Because I don't believe in action for the sake of taking action.

Action without forethought.

But support for that is prevalent at this point in time.

But you are infering that this situation has only just started.

It has been in the shadows for years.

Last sunday was the rising of the members finally.

    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.
