So what would you like to see from the new coach and in proxy the players next season?

Personally, I want to see effort from the players every single week, which means the coach is instilling the will to play and win into them. As well as that, a minimum of 6 wins (which could be ambitious, have to aim high though), a workable game plan (with flair), improved skills and leadership from senior players on the field.

Depending on the coach we might only get a couple or all of the above.

The main thing though for me is passion on the field and effort. Too long have we been limp, not stood up for each other, not played with any intent and aggression or played for each other as a unified group. I do think that either Roos or Williams would be the best coaches to improve this aspect. They have a hard task though as it will be mighty hard to instill some hope and energy into the side after so many kicks in the guts.

Anyway, as is usual for a Dees supporter, I'm looking forward to next season long before it starts. What do you want to see?

No 1. Contested possessions, possession count, clearances and tackles all on an upward curve.

Personally I would like to see a forward line of Dawes, Clark, Hogan, Watts, Fitzy, Howe and then an elite midfield to kick it to them!

Players enjoying playing for the MFC, playing with passion and enthusiasm and courage and leading us out of the worst position the club has ever being in, might only be baby steps but some obvious steps in the right direction!

Jack trengove with his zip back would also be nice.

Coach: Paul Roos

- Coach Paul Roos

- No 100 point loses

- No more than 5 +60 loses

- A forward line of Hogan, Dawes, Clark, Fitzy and Watts

- Watts to improve

- Strauss and Tapscott to become regulars

- Viney and Toumpas to pass Wines

-

-

I could go on but I don't think it will do much except for get me over hopeful

2nd efforts as standard

Seeing what a consecutive win would do to DL

I think half of demonland would just explode and the other half would probably complain because we are so used to being angry haha

Feel free to enlighten the younger generations on here...

Since you asked, I am more than happy to oblige... the woman pictured is the late great Edith Massey in her role as Edie the egg lady from the film "Pink Flamingos", directed by baltimore's favourite son, the great John Waters who was also responsible (and I use that term very loosely) for (bullet list via Wikipedia):

He also had a guest spot in the Simpsons among other things and was the creator of the film Hairspray which was later released again starring Travolta and was made into a successful stage musical. The only exposure Edith Massey really had in the mainstream, was probably the old Johnny Cougar (before he became John Cougar Mellencamp) clip for his hit song "This Time"... she was the object of his affections.

I want more development from our first year players (I believe Neeld did do some good recruiting and drafting), I want a midfield that can run out a match competitively, I want a coach that instills belief into not only our players but our whole club and most of all I want to see our club gain the respect it deserves from the football community. No more can we be the club that will easily be kicked about and bullied, we need to be the club others strive to be. I know that won't happen within a season but the next 12 months are very very important for the future of our club.

    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.
