GAME DAY - Round 21


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

I remember the Northey era. We were tough, we scraped for every win. The club stood for something.

Who or what has done the damage?

Tanking in 2007 and the players part of that era. Its cooked us.

At least 7 goals against were from turnovers. Viv Michies having a crack, must be the only bloke with something to play for. The rest of them are collecting a pay cheque but have already clocked off according to Roos. Get some players in that actually give a [censored] about the club & have some pride in their performance. This is a disgrace.

Carlton's top players came out and set the tone and the whole team has come with them.

I can't help wondering, maybe that playing group just has some kind of rage response to former premiership coaches brought into clubs as overpaid consultants?

Hell, if Roos didn't have his reputation behind him, he'd be on the skids right now.

I started nothing. I'm just sick of seeing supporters willing to walk away from adversity. That's not how life or supporting a team works.

I think that after a decade we are in a position to walk away justifiably.

Roosy needs to sit them down and tell every single player that they're playing for their career, we can still win, and we have to win.

put any pressure on carlton and they will cave but we just have to put that sort of effort in.

I guess. You know where the door is. But we are better than this performance - something is not right at the moment but we've registered good wins this year - we need to bridge to gap between our best and our incredibly poor.

I'm not watching, but when you read through the comments, notice which type of players are the problem.

Senior players.

Garland, Howe, Grimes, N Jones, Cross, Lumumba, Dawes, Dunn, Garlett, Watts.

We have a deep-seated, cultural problem in this club, we all know it, and it comes from a bunch of insipid, awful, team-harming 'leaders' who do not lead.

We have more young talent than St Kilda, I will never back down from that argument, but their kids are able to be led by true leaders in Riewoldt, Montagna, Dempster, Fisher, Gilbert, Steven, Armitage - all aged over 25 and who never give up. Same with the Dogs - Murphy, Boyd and Morris are better leaders than the 10 MFC players I've named above, combined.

Roos' job, in part, is to motivate and lift the team, which includes identifying what is going wrong with these senior players and fixing it. He's failed to do that. Two years into his tenure and we have the same leadership and cultural problems. He didn't start the problem, a combination of Bailey and Neeld, back-to-back, did that, but he's not fixing it.

Ok dude i will hold out an olive branch and say sorry for going so hard at you.

I will not, however, say sorry for not assisting to pay for the junk product that is MFC. We are rubbish and deserve to die.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
