Blease is very dissapointing too, 3 or four efforts in four quarters of footy is unacceptable

Thanks PM got out of bed this morning at 5.30am to watch the game on the AFL site and that was my start to the day, great.

Unfortunately I don't drink although I might start.

U r probably the only Dees fan who doesn't drink Robbie.

Happy Bday

Listened for a bit over a quarter, haven't and won't watch.

Two I 50s in the first quarter ! Seriously, how can the club expect even longstanding supporters to turn up and watch that rubbish ?

My overwhelming emotion is just plain sadness.

Was at the game till the end hard to watch keep hand balling there way into trouble all I can say is kick the thing long into the forward line and go straight up the middle the three times wedid it resulted in goals the second we chipped it around someone stuffed it up and we were on the back foot.Two minutes into the game I knew I was going to watch a sh$t display of football when two NFC players in defence watched a nmfc player take the ball on the boundary and kick a goal my grandma puts more pressure on than that effort

We are clearly cursed, that bit I definitely agree with.

And we definitely have the best jumpers in the competition.

It's not that I think we deserve a priority pick; we require one. Actually I kind of think we do deserve one. If seven years of non stop disaster do not qualify for a priority pick then nothing should.

And I'd like it to be BEFORE the start of the draft, so we can trade the pick for Boyd, haha!

Neil Craig spoke really well in the presser. I don't see him as the full time coach but i want him to stay at the club.

Grimes is a lost little boy. He is not a future captain..

Right now this club is very very sick all the way through.

That's arguably the one area where this club has been elite for a long time. Speaking well.

The club was 'wyl', now it is in a holding pattern until new appointments can be made. Thought we might get through the rest of the year with some reasonable efforts but it's not going to happen. Again the most important part of our year will be September/October for the wrong reasons, new board, new coach, FD boss and list changes.

Nup. Gone.

Clean sweep.

Neeld was sacked, time to bring in a new team.

Start with trying to grab Ling, Bolton (potentially his last year) and headhunt Brett Kirk.

Minimum starting point.

i agree, but the club is still in a very bad way.

1 goal to 16 in a second half. No pride at all. Nothing.

Yep.

But i would still keep Craig. We need one constant.

He is a good man.

Yeah, I am not surprised by this result.

For those that are struggling to see how 22 blokes can be so dominated by another 22 blokes - it is not just a coach.

It's inertia. The feeling that attempting something will be met by failure so the attempt is affected or not even bothered with.

You won't run past a contest to receive a handball because you know, you just know, that your teammate won't get the ball and you are more worried about making sure your man doesn't get the footy. So you don't attack. And then, when the ball comes out of the contest, only one team is setup to win it. And they do, and they win the next one too.

You don't run. You don't trust your teammate to get the ball in a one-on-one, so you get in and 'help' and the other team has an immediate advantage with a release player created.

You become inert.

And you get thumped.

    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
