51 years of crap

We need to recruit LEADERS who will not stand for selfish soft attitudes

Players who cannot kick mark handball or run to an AFL elite standard must go, it has now reached that point.

A Coach can only teach. It is the players who activate those teachings. What we saw yesterday is not Roos' gameplan, it was a total shambles

and we do not have the leaders to stamp it out

We have to import. Anything else is yet another Bandaid...

Offer the entire salary cap to Dangerfield. He's such a guy, he won't accept all that much, so offer what's left to Wines.

Sack everyone on the list who isn't prepared to do .... [need to run poll thread to find out what those things are]

International search to recruit the best available messiah figure. Send the bill to Gill.

Apologies for lack of caps.

Dangerfield & Wines would have beaten us yesterday.

They attack at all times...

Nasher is on the meds early this week! :)

If we beat The Filth next week it just proves my point even more

The players pick and choose when they hit the Go switch.

That must stop.

10yrs of poor drafting & port development is wr we are @ now!

Will require another clean out yr end to rid of the vfl players who simply can't play AFL level

Skill level alone is not enough & mental preparation to play AFL is critical...

no, 20 years of allowing the culture to drift slowly downwards into a self serving & self protective one. where players wouldn't hold their feet, or chase an opponent in a true way... or attack the opposition body with real hunger & intent to hurt.

we continue to want to be the nice guys of the AFL, & it started by sacking the culture of Checker/Smithy...

it wasn't the loss of Smithy by name, that smashed us ! It was the acceptance of Soft, Cosy, NICE, etc that has smashed us ever since !

the hardness was imported Via Checker, who taught Smithy, who taught Barassi, who learn't it & carried it with him when he left.

the desire to have the club be pleasant, is what curses us. & anyone who resides often in its pleasant presence, will be seduced by its warmth & its grace.

this is NOT the way to make warriors !

I have no idea when the point arrives for players but there were a lot of members who reached it yesterday.

It is the way that the team loses

Lack of basic skills and structure since 2007...

We do not lean from adversity....

I am seriously entertaining the idea of hiring a plane to tow a banner around the MCG next Saturday at 2pm with something like MFC SQUIBS or JELLYFISH written on it. Hope my tax refund appears soon.

Public Supporter Backlash. I like it

It is time we put the club in the spotlight...

What's your contribution toward a solution?

You won't get an answer.

Nasher seems to be in the 'I'm content with being average' crew of demonland.

Don't know why anyone would find it funny if we beat Collingwood. Especially with Cloke and Elliot out.

How many [censored] 'rebound' games have we seen with this club? Why would anyone think that everything will be all okay if we were to beat Collingwood?

I'll tell you the threads already:

"This team will turn into something special!"

"How good was Grimes?"

"Hogan will be a star!"

"Wow, Jamar!"

Essendrug players play with more heart and pride than we do; just have a think about that. They have every reason to drop their bundle- and did for a few weeks, but they realised their standing in the community and re-grouped.

We have been utter shite for going on 9 years now. We are a pathetic club filled with talentless, leaderless losers, led by an uninspiring coach who is surrounded with yes men and fawning media. We still stand for nothing!

Where's the pride in having the oldest club in the land? Being the games stalwart? Why is there such a massive leadership void, why is it always up to the new guys to inspire?

Our culture is probably shitter than it's ever been. Who are our figureheads? Where's our influence, where's our voice? Does anybody even care? Whatever, were pathetic

    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.
