Neeld in particular, but Bailey also, burnt some good players through neglectful management and poor player development. Which ones would we like back (assuming for market prices)? I suspect some would be delighted to be part of a successful demons era

Liam Jurrah is the only player who has been on an MFC list previously, but is currently not, that I would 'take back'.

Rivers left to play finals - no ones fault and understandable Moloney left because he wanted to be captain and Neeld didnt do enough to retain him (half and half) Gee wiz people will do anything to

I only voted for Petterd on the basis of his game yesterday. With us he was always injured, inconsistent and was reputed to have had some attitude problems. Liked the way he played for Richmond yesterday though. Good effort!

I think if we're being honest with ourselves, the only players on that list who would not make our team immediately would be Cale Morton and perhaps Ricky Petterd. If those others were the only players we could get, then we'd try to get all of them.

But lucky for us there's about seven hundred other players to pick from, all of whom would be free of the baggage of having played for Melbourne before. So, none would be my answer.

Liam Jurrah. Please.

Let Roos and Ling loose on Jurrah, Watts, Sylvia, Garland, Trengove, the whole lot of them - respect and know-how will bring belief, and belief will upend the MFC. First assemble the cast, then press GO! And there is no icing in the land that would match a Jurrah in full flight. Bring it on!

Lol all Jurrah talks about on facebook is going driving and drinking everyday! The guy is a headcase

Epic Fail!

Why do we have to bring them back?

Is there a pool of players that we have to recruit - the ones that already played for us?

Or do we feel guilty for having a coach that told them things they didn't want to hear?

What do you think Roos would say to Beamer if he were still here?

'You are a frontrunning finger pointer who needs to work on your defensive intent.'

Neeld came in too hot and too heavy but he knows footy. He just had the emotional intelligence of a mortician.

Oh, and I will take Thompson back for a couple of years. But he left under Daniher.

Seriously, when we cut Petterd I maintained that he would be the only one I thought we could be hurt by if he was able to stay on the park.

    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.
