Our players are killing our club

No worries OD I'm in mufti. And, I no longer have to worry about the other grass.

BBO Why would the custodians of a 100,000 seat stadium (a stadium i might add that is very well run-World Class) purposely put its own team on the park to be useless so nobody goes for 50 years??

When the alternative is 70,000-80,000 which we did pull in the late 80's a number of times.

The Rats in the Ranks are there, but not within the Northern Stand. I just do not buy it.

Having just read this mornings age WYL, I can tell you where most of this town's rats are currently -Windy Hill and - I'm loving it.

Yes. I slept very soundly last night.

James incorporated would not have.

Pain of the highest order awaits them now...

No DL i think all the aforementioned are happening inside your head.

You just hate the MCC.

Our problems have arisen because sadly Jimmy employed his mates into positions of power.

If what PJ reports is correct Schwab had no idea what he was doing or creating.

Being tossed out in the 80's was a huge mistake.

The MFC/MCC must get stronger.

Our problems extend far further back than the last few seasons since the Stynes board took over.

Buzz words are there to cover inadequacy, so no thanks

Personal insults I think, not sure due to the rather haphazard syntax, try answering what I posted, no probably not

No mate, "buzzwords" are used to efficiently communicate more complex concepts as a means to summarise them in a simple word or phrase rather than spend paragraphs communicating them.

Two games to go then let the Culling begin.

On my Shopping list is 22 good mids. If we can stop them in the middle of the ground we dont need any backs.

It'll be quite humorous to see all the players running into the square after centre bounces

Its the Melbourne flood.

Only downside is there no forwards to kick to.

Oh well every plan has its weakness.

Sounds a lot like last week. 22 midfielders might mean Magner gets a game, too

Because the MFC has no money 15 of the Mids will have to be imported from China.

yes leaving the MCC relationship in the 80's was a shocking move.

(Yet another one!)

actually it started our best period for 20 something years... but being sent to siberia stkilda, virtually destroyed us. not getting ourselves out of there & setting up home somewhere was a huge mistake...

we are still paying for the lack of support since the mid 60's.

You're nowhere near it.

Geelong was not a 'basket case' when Selwood joined. We are a basket case. Geelong was an underperforming but talented side. Big difference. And at any rate, Selwood didn't just pull Geelong up. If you think Geelong wouldn't have won the premiership if they hadn't taken Selwood, you're a moron. If any single player did what you think Selwood did, it was Chapman (or Ling, or Harley, or Scarlett, or a bunch of others who aren't Selwood). Selwood merely added to a 'culture' that was driven by Geelong's frustrated senior players.

Boak has been instrumental in Port's on-field resurgence. But that has nothing to do with 'culture'. For one, Boak was there last year, when Port was a disaster. He hasn't changed. What he's doing differently is not his attitude or his 'culture', it's his gameplay. And again, if any one person has improved Port, it's Hinkley, who has changed more things as a group than Boak has done on his own.

Then you claim Ward has 'held GWS together'. That firstly implies it needed holding together, as if it was going to fall apart. It wouldn't have. And even if he had had some influence on the side, it can't have been that great, given they're performing worse than Melbourne is this year. He's absolutely led from the front. That has nothing to do with 'culture'.

Your arguments are insipid.

What abiut the Koch factor - keeping it classy?

    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
