Jones Vince Dawes Mcdonald Howe Garland hang your heads in absolute shame! When we needed you guys to stand up you were pathetic!

Kudos to the younger players in Michie Stretch Brayshaw ANB Salem Newton who showed desperation atleast wanted it.

Cross might be slowing but he is the only leader who puts in every week and doesn't drop his head.

Jones, if injured, is doing himself and the team a massive disservice.

Vince got ahead of himself and done nothing for a month.

Dunn in has always been damn ordinary and that he is our vice captain is laughable.

This club is going nowhere fast.

Tom McDonald looks a broken men. Another gun young player who will walk out on this club and who can blame him. Him and Hogan will leave and take Brayshaw and Salem with them.

Starts at the top. I love Chunk to bits, but he is there cause there is no one else. Best of a bad situation.

Grimes is playing more at Casey and is toast.

Trengove hasnt touched a footy in years and should of never been captain anyway.

We have very little leadership and no one that will bleed for the jumper. Dawes, Lumumbu, Cross, Garland, etc - none of them step up when needed.

100% agree

I'd personally keep jones, Vince and Tmac but the sooner we rid the mentally weak players the better

Edit - just reread f$&@ Dawes if he doesn't mark he is useless and he doesn't mark a lot

Actually thought McDonald wasn't too bad, also Watts was ok along with young blokes, let down by Jones, Grimes, Dunn, Garland, Howe, they should either leave or take pay cuts and give leadership to younger players

Watts was quite good. Mcdonald was pathetic. His kicking was terrible and ran into trouble so many times.

I'm more worried about the younger blokes.
the senior ones are already stuffed and won't get any better.
We'll either lose these young blokes or wreck them.

Yep. That is exactly why the club must act now

Time to be ruthless for the sake of THE CLUB & not the player.

I disagree on McDonald. Makes errors but tried his guts out and tried to make things happen. Jones is clearly not right but that doesn't stop you talking on field, setting up positioning.

Leadership is the cause of our issues and will continue to be until the next wave can set the direcion. Combo of this and our kids tiring and only able to play in patches is the sum of it.

Jones has been heavily tagged the last 8 weeks. Needs help

Dunn gets swamped with opposition inside 50's. He is still a good player.

Grimes turns it over too much. he can go

Dawes can go, cannot take a mark in his hands, and undisciplined which turns the ball over.

Howe should be told to never kick it. looks disinterested, time to go.

Mcdonald is a gun, would be All Australian in a good team. He cant do it all.

Cross is slow and fumbles but never gives up.

Watts has been ok this year and will get better as we get better.

Garland has lost it he can go as well.

Judd, Pendelbury, Ablett etc have been heavily tagged for the last eight years...

They copped, Jones doesn't very well. He then goes into his shell and his leadership falls very very badly.

I really dont think Jones is the problem.

The problem is our lack of depth. If you look at thew best for casey yest not one can cut it at AFL level.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
