What a boring argument.

One person uses logic, states, quotes and thought to construct an argument.

The other person responds with generalisation and throw away comments, not to mention mis-truths.

This will be my last post on this issue as I believe I have stated my point of view pretty clearly and the thread will get nothing out of it continuing.

On person is watching the game, one person thinks the stats tell the story and they don't need to use their eyes.

I get that but he isn't bringing ball to ground. He's playin dumb wet weather footy.

I do appreciate the conditions are impossible. But Watts is playing more intelligent footy.

Inside 50s are the lowest since they started recording it as a stat in 1999.

Sorry Guys if it wasnt raining we would be looking at a worse result than last time and still nothing to say we wont get close if Geelong keep it up. :(

Disagree. The wet weather is a major disadvantage for us given we are hopeless at clearances and our best asset is our tall towards.

I'm happy with our tackling. We are going hard at the footy, which is all we can ask for when we are getting so comprehensively beaten.

Inside 50's this quarter are more than 15 to 1 and no forward line is going to look good if that occurs.

We are an ordinary side with poor disposal playing the best team in the comp for the 30th year in a row, probably, at their home ground in the wet, and they have big bodied players, we have skinny kids.

Dawes 3 possessions, Watts 4, Howe 5, Fitz 2 and that's because the ball is up the other end, continually; we need a midfield where Nat Jones is a third stringer, we need quality and we need class or the best forward line in the comp just won't kick goals.

Agree, the wet weather is hurting us. Usually it is the opposite with wet weather evening tans up bit it is killing any chance of uncontested possession as we aren't clean enough.

You are so spot on. We need players who will bring people through the gate to watch.

The effort is there, but half our side will not improve.

It must be a ruthless cull similar to the off field restructure.

Trengove, sylvia, grimes the most disappointing .

Dunn no good.

Toumpas, Gawn, frawley Garland Jones havin a crack.

I knew you'd respond with this. I almost wrote your response for you. One thing though - you forgot to address the logic, quotes and thought bit.

Yeah funny about that... Maybe because there was very little.

You're right. "Nah, they're just not trying hard enough" smashed the sht out of 45's argument.

If you're happy with that first half effort then I bet you're lobbying hard for Neeld to be our coach next year.

Trengove is not a captain and a very ordinary player since the sling tackle.

Just shows the flaws with Neeld's captaincy selection system. Trenners is a fine young man, probably a great leader around the club, but he's not an onfield captain, yet anyways.

    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

    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
