These bastards hijacked the news coverage for our first win of the season, and Jonesy's BOG match. Just another reason to hate Carlscum!!!!

I saw the news crews filming the team at recovery yesterday but didn't see anything about it on the news.

Just cant beat doing Carlton and watching their club implode

timing; its too soon to sack a coach.... especially when its the off field club leadership that's the hack weak link.

kernal_haan should sacrifice himself, fall on his sword, commit harri-kirri, step down, excuse himself, sing the chorus to Mamy Blue, micks lead.

:cool:

At least MM gets to work with men like Barry Prendergast-two men at the very peak of their decline.

"Peak of their decline"..??

Write your own twaddle.

No need to copy.

It's just one of the silliest phrases I've seen!

Simply doesn't work.

Even the "trough of their decline" would then indicate you expect inprovement from here.

You cannot inprove on perfection Machsy.

You might suggest to Hemmingway that his work is a bit sparse.

You can improve on gibberish though.

I've not read much by Hemingway, but I can still spell his name correctly.

Always room for inprovement.

Anyway, back on Carlton...

I recall in recent years many people lauding Judd for his leadership and I could never get my head around it.

Yes, head leads by example. He sets an amazing example.

But there's so much more to leadership than that, and I think Judd falls down in a lot of those areas.

Heroic and spectacular acts on the field are just that.

Others may get a lift from these acts, but I don't see that as providing great leadership.

That's just playing footy.

Malthouse now discussing Carlton on FC as being the quietest footy club he's even been at, would seem to be testament to that.

That and maybe also their recruiters being shy of selecting another loudmouth troublemaker like Fevola.

I actually was quite impressed by MM's press conference after the loss, he made allot of sense, we did do some things right and won the game, but their hard ball gets were up there and if we had at any stage not stuck fat to the plan they would have come over the top of us. They couldn't buy a goal but we played well and they were under pressure going for goal. Not that I like MM but he was pretty sensible about it all.

What is very obvious is that MM is now firmly in the sights of the Media, and is the coach they want to 'get' this year. MM is going to be offered up as the necessary sacrifice by the media, regardless of whether it is deserved or not.

I of course love that the plebeian rabble has chosen Carlton to dwell on and not us, my hate for them remains undiminished.

I particularly like the way he discloates the shoulders of defenceless blokes on the bottom of packs. We should all emulate this maestro.

Spoke to a guy runs a store around these parts, very staunch Carton fan, always laughing about Melbourne whenever he gets a chance..........he didnt know where to look when I asked him about the game on Sunday morning....he was genuinely hurt and embarrassed and his face was red.... I didnt let him off the hook for at least 10 mins and I intend to keep reminding him about Melbourne for the rest of this year and well into next.

    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
