Supposedly was one who tried to round up players to ignore any suggestions of tanking.....

just sayin

Good on him in that case.

But I'd agree with the quoted sentiment in regards to on-field leadership.

Always seemed more focused on trying to niggle the opposition.

You were bullied at school weren't you?

Not properly- there is still an heir of confidence that needs crushing.

Because he looks like Salem or because he wore number 3?

They should have got Clint Bizzell to present it!

Ahh because Garry Lyon was a former Melbourne champion player that wore number 3.. *facepalm*

A real leader would've dug his heels in and forced a change in culture. He's a pathetic sell-out.

Lets hope a rival company doesn't offer you twice your worth and double the normal contract as I am sure you would stay put.

Yes we were a rabble but $6m over 6 years! FFS let it go. He is gone.

This comment is why we are the laughing stock of the AFL.

Now you do understand that it is joke between a couple of guys who take the Mickey out of each other don't you Sambo06?

But how a crass joke makes us the laughing stock of the AFL I am not sure.

I think quite a few management people and a lot of poor players have achieved that result.

Don't believe a poor joke by Bbo has much to do with it.

I have to say I was impressed with his build on the weekend. For months I've heard that he was slightly built and would take a long time to get his body up to scratch. He looks a lot bigger than I expected. Add to that that his skills appear to be every bit as good as advertised and he's a lot harder at the ball than expected and I'm pretty damn happy.

I did think he would be knocked around a bit easier, he appeared relatively sturdy eh

All this time I thought it was a perpetually crap footy side, inept management, poor crowd numbers..

And all along, it was BBO's jokes that made us a laughing stock. How did I not see it before?

Yes I blame him

I look at the situation in the Ukraine and I can't help but think that if he had a bit more intestinal fortitude there wouldn't be a problem. Don't get me started on the deficit.

Being buggered senseless makes a man of you!!

This comment is why we are the laughing stock of the AFL.

Incorrect Sambo06 - we have been the laughing stock of the AFL long long before 29 Apr 2014 - 7:17 PM, which is when Bbo posted his comment, so clearly that comment is NOT why we are the laughing stock.

    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

    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
