The media are not just messengers OD, that is the problem, they are bullies and vultures that feed off the carcasses of the weak. They are spineless and don't report the truth, but rather attack those

He always goes back to "I have nothing to do with the club", "I've been there once in the last 6 months", "I made it clear I didn't want to help and wouldn't be around long".... Garry only loves Garr

Ok P_Man... that's the sort of dis-connect that can be alleviated without a with-hunt and a hanging. There were times when the message from one of the most highly regarded coaches in AFL history wasn't getting through (ref Shane Zantuck incident circa 84)...

It's all a game to the media, they kick the [censored] out of us because it's easy and we are easy; there's plenty to choose from. Then after they've nearly kicked us to death and there's no more mileage left in the story, they look for another angle.

Now it's the "poor Melbourne what can we do to help this proud club"' watch the [censored] printed from now on and you'll see more and more of this. None of these pricks care about us and if they can fill a story about us folding or reviving they will; it makes no difference to them which way it goes.

They will print the truth or they will print crap, it doesn't matter as long as the story is on time and makes the news cycle.

Yeah we've stuffed up and deserve what we get, but equally we deserve the truth not some made up [censored] from a journalist too lazy to check his facts.

P_Man... "He raised the apparent disconnect between the coach and the players" Are you sure this is not a beat-up? I haven't heard a current player speak poorly of Neeld. I haven't heard any evidence that the playing group feels disconnected. Are you merely drawing this conclusion from physical evidence presented as 'the pre-game address'? I'm hearing that that piece of video was shot a few hours before the game. This may be incorrect, but what if it was shot quite a bit before the players ran out? ... Wouldn't that go part of the way to explaining the players being laid-back? I've also heard commentators referring to Neelds twitch and strained facial expression as a sign of his crubling under the pressure. If they had done their homework they would be aware that he has had corrective surgery for a damaged nerve and he has some involuntary muscle contortions.

A coach has the power to end a players career. They do so on regular occasions by cutting them at the end of a season.

A player rarely talks bad about a coach whilst both are at a club. It just doesn't happen very often. A player's way of protesting about a coach is to simply not play for him or to ignore him.

I very much doubt that we will see one of our player's come out and criticize the coach publicly or privately. He could ruin his own career. As for fronting a coach behind closed doors, that might happen but we're not going to hear about it or the details.

A player either plays for a coach, plays in spite of him or does neither because he resents him. I'm not necessarily talking about our coach. The same rules apply in any club, in any sport.

"They need to stop putting the national focus on Jack Watts i.e by subbing him out of the game. He's gonna end up a basket case."- Caroline Wilson.

How about you guys (the media) stop writing bloody articles about him, making unfair comparisons and belittling him in everything he does!

Lloyd: "Egg on Mark Neeld's face because the players didn't do anything he asked"

They highlighted Neeld's pre-game address where he talked about Jobe Watson and then showed damning vision of how free Watson was all night.

Neeld spoke before the game of stopping Watson, yet no one was toe to toe with him putting on a tag why?

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
