Got an email from the club about "Member Appreciation Week'

Seems like a reasonable idea to try and keep members involved in a totally crap year.

I know it is the last home game but it could be a dismal game on Sunday as the culmination of the week of prizes etc.

Has anyone else filled out the members survey yet. There are a few interesting questions and im sure they will get some honest feedback.

anyway the prizes look interesting. I would be happy to win the dinner at the wharf. I think if I won tickets to the b&f Id give them back. Dont think I could stand to be in a room where the players will be clapped and they will talk about the poor season and next year will be different. Beside we all know Jones will win it and so he should.

I filled it out.

Pretty sure I scored 0 for all on-field related questions. Well I'm not gonna lie.

Nice to be appreciated, now go out and win for us.

I saw no point in holding back or papering over the cracks.As far as I see they want to know how we feel. I accommodated this inquisitiveness :)

There are some things done well...and then there is the on field.!!!!

I hate East Fremantle (WAFL), South Fremantle (WAFL) and Fremantle (AFL) so I would appreciate them all getting smashed on the week end.

I was at the Fremantle Corporate Function a few weeks ago (when they played the Crows) and they were laughing at us and said no one wound admit to being a MFC Supporter after our 122 loss to North Melbourne.

Its time to put these upstarts back in their place, pity our team is so bad.

Yep I pretty much scored us a 0 and also I rated the board and administration pretty low as well.

I have spoken to a number of people who have done the survey and to a person they reflect what you have stated above.

I guess it is an annual survey but I think the club would be expecting the obvious result.

When you have the horrible year on and off the field that the MFC has had in 2012 and this year any thing less than a lot of criticism would be a surprise.

The only thing that will improve the situation in 2014 is getting people on the board who are competent, a good management team and then winning a few games.

Seems simple but by our efforts over the last decade show it is difficult for the MFC to achieve.

I am not holding my breath.

OD you will find most of us have answered the same way, but if you bemoan the last decade remember a lot on this board are members who have rights, most have sat on their hands for the last decade, so basically we got what we deserved

Not sure I agree with that Satyr

I think the majority put their faith in people and that faith was not rewarded.

e.g the board, at no stage over the last 7 - 8 years was there ever the opportunity to vote for board members.

Now did I stand for the board?

No because I had neither the money or the required skill.

But I don't believe the average member got what they deserved.

Nothing can possibly live up to the lofty heights of 'Lefty Round'

I liked lefty round. It seemed to me like the AFL were taking the [censored] out of themselves for constantly having 'theme' rounds.

The interviews were all facetious and Cloke was blaming being a lefty for his terrible goal kicking. The Luke Hodge ad was pretty funny too.

I thought it was a rare instance of self-deprecating humour for the AFL.

    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
