Keep:

- The Joneses

- Grimes

- Clark

- Garland

- TMc

- Viney

- Toumpas

- Hogan

- Trengove

- Howe

Maybe keep Magner.

Sack literally everyone else.

We'll get a PP. Just load up in the draft. Literally go through the PSD and take 20-odd players at the tail end of the PSD. Guys that have stuck it out in the state leagues and had a crack. We may find a couple of crackers there, you never know. And if not, cut and keep going.

there are issues there which are too difficult to analyse from the outside...

peter Jackson IMO was suggested by the AFL for good reason I suspect after watching the game on fox, from about the 10 min' mark... I left after halfway thru the 3rd & went home.

I think I see a divided club, but unsure from outside the club. I think I see distracted players for some reason, & of course, players lacking confidence.

Cull the obvious spastics, but I find it very difficult to know where a lot of these players are at right now. So many are playing well below their best that the lines are so much more blurred than normal.

Or, get a coach that knows how to motivate, communicate and educate players.

Like how Paul Roos built a premiership around a handful of stars and the reminder were good ordinary players who worked bloody hard.

First, you need the handful.

As good as Mitch Clark is, he is but one man.

Clark, Jones, Howe, Frawley, Garland, Gawn, Viney, Hogan. That's more than a handful of potential stars.

If only we could develop players.

The very definition of kneejerk.

We need to remove as much as possible all at once, so that whatever crazy problem has existed this past 50 years is ripped out through sheer brute force.

Agree Chook...I was there last night....and....NO game plan...NO atmosphere...NO want from the players bar maybe 2 of them...skills were a disgrace...Our men do not know the places to even run to to link up....

We as supporters/members (I have been a member for 25 years now) deserve so much better...

Yet Again...I have sore elbows from leaving my face planted in my hands from grief from this inept group...Its horrible...truly horrible to watch.

I think when it gets to the point of me being excited by a target being hit by foot alone that we have stooped to such a low that yes we now need to remove yet again more people from the club.

UNTIL WE GET THE MIX RIGHT WE SHOULD KEEP DOING IT!

To The Demon employees who read this amazing forum,We are not putting up with this S&^T anymore.

We are turning into Fitzroy FFS! To also see Debt being stated yet again after all the work the people from debt demo & foundation heros put in... .....WTF is going on!!!!!1

HOW CAN WE BE IN DEBT!!!!!!!!!!! We wiped it did we not!!!!!

Where the Hell has the Melbourne Football Club gone???????

Now we are on the main pages of the HUN and for the bad reasons yet again...

I dont solely blame you Mark Neeld but you need to do something mate or you will go the way of the Dodo also...find some Gems in the next draft FFS!

Dear God please give me a time machine that takes me back to the glory years...even 87 or 98...I would take that right now...

I haven't seen any of the game, but I note in the stats that three of the first four highest disposal getters were first year players in M Jones, Viney and Terlich. Could it be that the players on the list pre-Neeld were so badly developed that they just don't get it? "It" being level of commitment, fitness and gameplan? That doesn't excuse the coach - it's his job to get the players to do what he wants. But I just wonder how much damage was inherited and how much is being added right now.

This is a good point - you can hardly say that Dean Bailey instilled a hard disciplined edge to the side. Soft [censored] are soft [censored] and we have too many from that era... could it be they just don't want to get it...

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
