After the game you might feel like going for a walk down the street.

One thing I will say is this....

There is hope there, believe it or not. Dawesy has put his hand up. Trenners seems to ever so slowly be getting his mojo back. Terlich, Evans and Kent look like keepers (not superstars but blokes who will hang around). Nate Jones ought to be commended. Col Garland and Chip Frawley may make a brilliant backline if Chip hangs about.
But, while the boys might think they are giving their best and are sticking together, they are clearly down on confidence. We need a circuit breaker. Whether we like it or not, the wounds of the battles of 2011 never truly healed. Neeld is the legacy of that year and to make a clean break from that era, he needs to go.

Watching these posts from Venice and seeing people slam Bail, Mckenzie and some others that Neild inherited, nobody is praising him for having a say in the selection of Matt Joes, Kent, Terlich, Dawes, Viney and Hogan. People would prefer to focus on Rodan rather than give Neeld any credit at all.

I will also say as well frankie, there is a s***load of dead wood in there too. Bail, McKenzie, Rodan, Pederson, will need to be moved on. We can't have blokes we are carrying.

Thats a fair call, i think it just has to do with his dismal strike rate, if he was a jockey he would be riding at the picnics.

Kent is having a real crack like the way is he going and will only improve with a new coach (hopefully)

Couldn't possibly get a 3rd dud as a development coach could we?

Pedersen stuffed up a couple but he has been alright. Kent has just that nice bit of Kent in him doesn't he!! He will be a player. Strauss has had some good moments. I think next year we will thank neeld for jones terlich etc when we are a more competitive. There are enough signs there. One thing noticed more today, a lot more passion when a bloke kicks a goal too.

I'm thankfully not there today, bc on family holiday in Malaysia... But listening and looking at stats, it is interesting to see that we are winning clearances, tackles, closer possession count than usual, and yet being smashed.

I think it demonstrates that we are a team that is on the whole trying to do the right things, but a lot of dead wood and so little class. I feel for the young players and for 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.
