A loss to GWS. One where the team 'brought intensity and effort' but failed to execute, apparently.

The year 2013 is one of excuses. No accountability. Blame everyone and everything.

If you were given the money these guys are getting and were as bad, you would be terminated. And half the list should be.

Anyway - the result on Saturday will be the basis for more 'excuses':

For the team to lose the rest, without even a whimper. Its now OK to be the worst team in the comp.

For supporters to not go to another game

For members to officially decide that enough is enough, and to not renew next year.

For sponsors to decide we are not worth the effort

For free agents to say 'No thanks'

TIme for this rabble to stop making excuses and start being accountable. Time to be honest and communicate clearly. Time to cut out the cancer that seems to sit at the heart of the club, making it such a perennial underachiever.

We have very little of the season left. Please don't make excuses. Try something different. For god's sake, show something - that you will fight and are worth fighting for.

Excuses can get stuffed from my POV. Until this club and players show some ticker like EVERY OTHER AFL club does. I will not attend as life is too short to waste time.

I will buy a full membership for 2014 because i wish to support Peter Jackson in the monumental task ahead of him.

He must employ and trust people who have a similiar strength of character he shows. PJ please do not trade Watts for Yarran. Yarran is a worse soft [censored] than Watts.

Watts can be saved with the right coaches

Apparently a horrible virus went through the club on Thursday night. 8 blokes were spewing before the game.

How's that?

More supporters were spewing after the Game!

No more excuses please. Let's see some action. The season is dead and buried. We need to see some positive moves from the club soon to generate even the slimmest ray of hope for 2014. Without that, membership, sponsorship and other corporate support will hit an all time low. At this point, you can understand players resisting signing. We have no president, coach and head of football. And the one person who handles himself with any sense of professionalism, Peter Jackson is a temporary appointment. A complete and utter mess.

But the weather was bad and the opposition played too hard for us.

You can't expect the MFC to win as it not in the players contract to play under such conditions.

We're crap. Is that an excuse or a reason? I can no longer tell the difference after all these years on Demonland.

Excuses are reasons that no-one asked you to give them.

"Why are you fat?"

"I can't control myself around food."

That's a reason.

"Don't judge me because I'm fat. I just can't control myself around food."

That's an excuse.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
