I am fed up with the MFC players escaping scrutiny for absolute shocking efforts. It is always the coach who gets it in the neck. These players need to get a grip if they want to cut the mustard at this level.

Always wrap them up in cotton wool and blame others! They have better facilities than ever before, they have a dozen coaches teaching them how to play football, they have everything at their disposal and yet they are so bad on they day they have to perform, one would think they have spent the previous week getting flogged in a boxing ring.

How many coaches do some of these blokes need to learn? Fair dinkum, I despair at their lousy attitude and incompetence.

The last coach played a big part in creating the list.

i agree with this & add Tanking to this fragile group.

It killed them.

Even the ones who came after that are mental.

Q for those in the know. Do we employ any sort of psychologist? I know they had a "Mental Skills Coach" last year but he's disappeared now.

I see your point, but of the 49 players who were on our list in 2009, there are only 13 left (Jones, Watts, Frawley, Sylvia, Dunn, Grimes, Garland, Davey, Jetta, Jamar, Bail, Spencer, McKenzie). That's 26%.

That does raise another point, though. I can't imagine many people in 2009 would have thought that we'd turnover 3/4 of our list by 2013. Shows you just how poor player/list management/development has been at this club.

and that equates to 13 mentally fragile links in the chain. Neeld tried to Blast it out, but it didn't work.

Our list freezes under pressure, no matter how well they train. They are cooked.

I hate it as a financial member of this club but it is the truth.

2 inside 50's in a first quarter. That is not Neil Craig. That is a mentally shot group of players.

The recruitment of Byrnes and Rodan just hasn't worked. I was excited by the thought of them both being in the team but we haven't gotten anything close to what they had been capable of at previous clubs. Plus, Neeld outlined that they were there for leadership and for cultural reasons too, which I just think is wrong. Neither has shown much passion and neither has been a regular in the team. Pedersen was also unnecessary. We still don't have enough talent aged 21 or under.

The club tried a kind coach (DB), that didnt work so they tried a tough school teacher (MN), that didnt work, now the intrim coach (NC) who is well liked within the club and by the players despite good results didnt work this weekend.

It starts and finishes with this talentless, lazy and unfit list. To think these players get paid on average $200k to spectate....

What do these players have in common? They all started playing for the Dees after the 2009 'tanking' year. Get over it and stop consistently dragging on an issue which only effected less than half of our current players.

and how many of the older Leaders are still playing who were there??

It's a reality & still an issue. Sorry if it bores you.

Having read through this thread I think while most of these reasons are correct we are also missing one of the most obvious.

If since 2009 the only have 13 players left on the list and have had 4 coaches, we seriously lack on field stability and cohesion.

If we wonder why the last seems so mentally fragile, maybe the uncertainty of list position and constantly changing coaching instructions goes a way to explaining why they play like they do.

The players have hardly paid a full season together, what chance have they have to develop instinctive pay or Trust that others will be where they should to support and receive?

What we need next most of all in my opinion is stability. A period of 3 to 5 years where the players can pay together and develop under one coach. Develop s core group, develop a culture and some consistency of message.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
