GAME DAY - Round 11



Recommended Posts

OK so Melbourne does not want to pay out Neeld because we’re broke.

Here’s the solution!

We are on top of the ladder in the VFL (shock, horror) so swap coaches!

Let Casey’s coach be our coach until the end of the year and Neeld can try and coach Casey!

Why not?!

No way in the world would Casey agree with that.

Hell, Welsh would prob laugh if you asked him, ruin his career before it started.

Cut out easy turnovers and improve our skills - and we were right in this game. Again right there - M Jones I think - kick smothered, turnover, goal.

We haven't done too bad.

Neeld will be safe for a few more weeks, PJ sounds busy restructing the place.

Gee, when they mentioned all of our outs, we aren't doing too bad.

Frawley, Grimes and Clark are 3 out of our best 5..

Then throw in Dawes going down, Viney out... We have a bit to work with.

Matt Jones is playing really well.

How many games do Oxley, Sinclair, Seedsman, Martin, Thomas, Williams and Kennedy have between them?

What has Casey done to you?

I agree there, but Collingwood have better depth than us, obviously.

I think all those players you mentioned are doing very well, Kennedy, Seedsman and Martin are going to be very good players.

Really like Kennedy.

Lynden Dunn get out of this football club!

This place would be so much more tolerable without comments like this. Dazzle I like your work mate but this is just disrespectful to a loyal Melbourne player. Sure he's had an ordinary day but far from our worst this year.

Geez.... I know they put up a fight in the first.... But the easy goals and basic skill errors are just embarassing and hard to watch....

There must be some inquiry into the umpiring!!!!

Think im done with footy.... Bye

Neeld isn't going anywhere, you people are dreaming.

And this is not his fault.

These guys are playing for him and having a crack. Our problem is not structures, gameplans or anything else.

We just have terrible, terrible decision making and technical skills.

What about our defence mate? You don't need skill to play defence, our defence against the kick in is pathetic, when are we going to accept the fact that the coach has to take the responsibility, in what world at 10+ goals week in well out are acceptable? This team since 2011 has gone backwards, we drew and lost by a point 3 years ago to this team!. Neeld will go and he deserves too. No malice here the facts are you cannot continue to get flogged and show no improvement. Our 2010-11 team would be our currant team by 60+ points!!!

its amazing how some people (Fitzpatrick), make it to AFL, and then... to make the 22. do the melbourne staff see the same player i see?

Saw him for a half last week - some guys have it however need development time, other guys just do not have it. He is in the latter category however we have no one better at the moment.

    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
