My dad plays golf with Danny Frawley, well at least at the same club. Danny told him, that James being a country boy is very loyal to the team that gave him a shot, however his dream is deep finals fo

This whole seven coaches in seven years thing really annoys me. 'Technically' true, but does it really represent the true state of affairs? No, it's just an easy way for the media to over-dramatise t

I don't know how you follow the club - but my affection for the club, and certain of its players, isn't altogether logical. Or clinical. And that's why I've stuck with the club for so bloody long.

Sorry it was a typo, play frawley at CHB and let Mcdonald develop deeper.

It did sound excessively silly.

Makes sense.

I don't think there's much difference between them being named FB or CHB - it's all about matchups.

I'd rather chase wins instead.

I don't blame Chip for waiting. Not one bit. We've been excellent on delivering hype and terrible delivering results for the whole time he has been at the club. I'd sure as hell want to see that we aren't just doing the same thing over again before I committed my next couple of years to this club.

Quite simply it's up to us as a club to give him a reason to re-sign. If we can't do that in the next 4 or 5 months then we deserve to lose him.

Who are you people? Do you live in a caravan? Are you annoyed you can't get analogue channels on your shitty old tv anymore?

Yes mate and do you mind turning down your TV as I am trying to sleep!

Chip will put success before cash, unless we are stupid enough to let him name his price. He's loyal, but not to the point of stupidity. Who'd blame him? Would anyone here put their struggling workplace above their own personal success and goals?

It sums up the MFC at the moment. Show some success on field or die.

We can opine to our biased heart's content and beat our chests as much as we want, but at the end of the day (or season, as the case may be), any player of substance just wants to see success and play with their mates. As PJ said, culture and list management wins premierships. Throw heaps of cash around and you may not necessarily get success. Get wins, develop culture and you have a better chance at a flag.

You can't expect talented players to blindly commit without the club having some runs on the board in terms of wins and management.

At Casey, he was moved onto him after half time and Hoges hardly touched It. Mind you Geelong did give us a touch up. The previous game against Geelong was at Simmons & Hoges was BOG.

So the ball didn't really go forward? I didn't see the game but hardly sounds like he gave him a bath, maybe more like limited supply unless Riv got leather poisoning.

Riv is not a good one on one player particularly against strong forwards but let him float across and he will kill it. Remember the Doggies game a few years back and Malthouse was in the commentary box saying you can't allow Rivers to zone off, he saved the game in the last Q. He doesn't get that luxury very often now and doesn't have another string to the bow.

I was at that game and it's true that Rivers was given the job of minding Hogan after Jesse kicked two early goals. However, it wasn't a case of Rivers giving him a "bath" so much as the fact that the ball hardly came into the forward line after that anyway and when it did, the delivery to the forward line was abysmal. The Cats controlled the midfield, dominated the inside 50s and beat the Scorpions by more than 10 goals.

I think its likely that the tables would be turned this year if Hogan was given reasonable delivery by a half decent midfield.

WJ you could change two words in that sentence and it would be describe the Dees last two years

"opposition " and "dees".

If you don't have the ball it is hard to kick a winning score.

Does this seem like BS to anyone else?

Frawley wants club security

I believe him personally, i think he is in a similar place to Watts mentally, wants to see improvement, know who his coach will be and make us feel abit desperate and add a few extra o's to his contract, until i watched that i thought he was gone, now not so certain.

No BS here.If the coach has only signed on for 2 with an option of 3 and Chip has had 7 coaches in 7 years and played in 31 winning games in 118 then I would play the system too !

Yeh, I believe it, and the Easter Bunny, He is going to a new club so he doesn't have to change coaches.

Great logic Bluey, so who is Roosey going to coach after us so that Chip doesn't have to change coaches ?

    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.
