Hearing (second hand) that Jon Anderson on 3AW was speaking this morning about some Melb player tweets that were feeding through. It seemed clear the players are not unhappy.

I didn't hear it so can anyone confirm what Ando said or what player tweets have been made about MN??

Unless they have since deleted their tweets I cannot find one tweet relating to the sacking of Mark Neeld by a current Melbourne player. Can anyone provide a link?

Despite Fifty-5 jumping down his throat, I think Satyriconathome is spot on... it's extremely unlikely any current member of the playing group would be tweeting such things.

Cam Pedersen tweeted a nice farewell tweet the other day.

(Nb. when I say "nice", I mean that it was a normal "thank you and good luck" message - nothing sinister).

I follow most of them, it is buillshit, Twitter is quiet, assume they meant Moloney, a current player would not tweet that anyway

Saty, I'm sure we'd all appreciate a training report if you manage to make it to the next open session. Cant see Craig changing things too drastically however im sure you'd be able to chat to a few of the guys and get a feel for the mood around the group?

I was actually thinking about going Friday, although I notice in another post it is 3pm today, depends on whether I post or not, the paranoia displayed by some posters is becoming tiresome.

Just quietly, I reckon Pedo, Burns, Rodan and Gillies would all be a bit upset / nervous about Neeld's departure.

Don't worry about them... I get the feeling some of those posters are just pining for the good old days of IRC chatrooms where they could go in and flame away to their hearts content and get real time responses or news groups like Aus.politics... now THOSE were the days :-)

Gillies is the only one on a 1 year contract isn't he?

To get rid of the other players we would have to trade or pay out. Can't see the former being much chance, and the latter is probably not realistic, so brace yourself!

not pedo - he was signed for three years!!

And from that group I reckon he's got the least to worry about. His major concern will be the contract renegotiations after those 3 years. Pretty hard for him et al to play some cards with no game time.

dead right saty, in this current situation apart from miss moloney at brizzy no dee player would be that silly and disrespectfull

the panic merchant patties on this site would like for anything to pin on MN at the moment and for the next 2 years

some posters on this site would be panicked by thier own shadow

3AW are promoting what he said on twitter and their website but I haven't seen any specific names mentioned.

I like Jon Anderson but that's pretty gutless not to name names. If current players have tweeted something then it's fair game to be reported. If he's not willing to name names I'd suggest that means he's "interpreted" the content of a couple of tweets to be in reference to Neeld

Can only think it is Moloney, but he hasn't added to his wonderful contribution the other day, it would be career suicide for a player to do it, sometimes a joke tweet is sent out when they leave their phones unlocked, but doubt that as well, can only think the 'journalist' is looking at bogus accounts, there are a couple of Col Sylvia and Jesse Hogan floating around

    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.
