I just watched it, he and Garry didn't really say anything that we haven't already been saying on Demonland all year

they look to us for inspiration

Lyon was spot on as per usual. Understands exactly where we've improved and what our issues are....so glad that he mentioned skill level. I'm so tired of people rattling on about game plans and effort, neither of them matter if you can't handball 5 metres to a target and kick to position when you get it. We need classy and quick mids, and lots of them.

It was interesting to hear Garry talk in this case. It makes you wonder how he could have bloody chosen Neeld as coach when he shows this level of insight. He was dead right on the delistings and where we fall short (skills). He was dead right as well on the lowlight while DB made some idiotic joke about Vince's haircut.

Barrett just spouted off conventional football wisdom. I love Nate Jones but actually do some analysis, Purple. Nate has been up for 4 years running now. You aren't telling us anything new by saying he is our shining light. Some of the shutdown jobs Nev Jetta has done on some small forwards have been sensational.

What insight?

Blind freddie can see we have terrible skills. Any chump would have nominated the Giants game as our lowlight, that's not exactly 'insightful'. Picking out Blease and Strauss to be delisted is also obvious.

I'll give him credit for pointing out Jetta but that's where any 'insight' ended.

I wouldn't go that far. Most punters on the street wouldn't know half our problems. We know as we watch them every week but most run of the mill media types wouldn't know. Just see what Damo said.

Agree 'titan'

Lyon and insight are polar opposites, in fact that goes for a lot of the football media.

I thought there was 1 game left

and no way im listening to a thing that acne scarred loser Damian Barrett says

Lovely. Do you know what DL posters look like? What I might look like?

Can you please focus on DB's argument or lack thereof? Then he can legitimately be shown for the half-wit he is.

It was a reasonable appraisal for a side that has won 4 games, 66%, lost last 10 games (likely) and been humbled by fellow strugglers. GWS will get better as will the Dogs. hard to see us getting above 16th next year.

Get the footies out in November and go for skills skills and skills all summer

Holy [censored] Barrett is an absolute pea brain..

Love the bit where he says 'the body of work is what you base these things on'. Basically meaning Tyson has had one good year and questioning whether or not he'll be a future star yet somehow he knows Kelly 'is going to be an absolute superstar, lock that in'.

Completely contradicted himself in that section.

Christ I hate the guy.

Just heard Jones on SEN. The bloke is a legend a mans man and its great to have a player who leads from the front like Nietz did. I just hope he takes it one step further and breaks the premiership drought!

What most posters in D/L failed to understand is not how did garry make the neeld choice.

But WHO let garry make that choice for the football club.

Its one of the great unanswered questions.Just who gave us the idea to let garry make the choice.and how did the whole board agree to it.

    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

    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
