Where is that corner - I cannot find it.

When does this team finally work out that embarrassing performances are no longer acceptable. Losing to the bombers was very very unacceptable.

I listened to Peter Jackson at the AGM where he reinforced that football is their priority and winning games of football comes first. Losing to a VFL team is appalling and some senior players should hang their heads in shame.

I was hoping to see around the corner in 2015 and get a view of a positive future. Setbacks like losing to a VFL team just make me angry at many on our list.

Being embarrassed is part of a MFC supporters lot! However, I will still keep that blind faith.

I agree Soi. Faith can only be blind after the years of heartache we have been forced to endure, and there is only one possible cure for the affliction that affects us!

I just don't get the panic after that loss. There side still had some very good players, and they were well up for it, you could see what it meant to them after the siren.

I expected a win still, but was hardly an earth shattering loss.

Interesting that when we played a strong Freo side we played very good footy. We go into the next two matches playing weakened sides where we are expected to win & we are for the most part ordinary. We all know how much footy is played above the shoulders so I for one will wait until I see how they perform in the season proper before resorting to the mass hysteria which has permeated pages of demonland forums......I mean "really" the sheer arrogance of some supporters suggesting 70 points plus wins......amazing !! we have a new forward line.....new mids....new backs and at the most they have played two ....if lucky three games together.....what did we honestly expect. Anyone who can't see the improvement must have the " negative Nellie" blinkers on. It will happen but obviously not as quickly as we would like .....in saying that....it could also happen a lot quicker.

Should there be a MFCSS thread where all the whinging etc get kept to only one thread, and any posts that should be in there are moved from other threads to keep things constructive? It would save the first page of the board being filled up with 'why do we suck/who is to blame' etc of which there is always plenty.

I agree.

What also annoys me Clint is that when people are agitated and annoyed about what's happening they feel the need to start a thread about it, rather than either posting it in the post match thread or in any of the other similar threads that have already been started.

I hope we smash them for points tho, this season. otherwise it will be a worry.

It is never where you think the Corner is butterfly, and I never could understand what the hell does unacceptable means and what can be done about it? What sack the whole team, sack the coach? Every one sees the corner differently, and some times you go back past the corner, and sometimes you go forward past a corner, and some times you never go past the corner. There is a time to win and there time to lose.

I'm just up the road from you NAA, can I get some of whatever it is you had with your coffee? I was reading about your corners and now I find I am shltting myself not knowing what the corners in my office are doing.

A time to sow, a time to reap, and a time to fall asleep at the wheel of your combine harvester after a 15 hour day and a bottle of Jack, and mince up your neighbour, his wife, their brood of kids and a kelpie called Max.

I think I read that in the bible somewhere.

    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.
