Was always going to be hard to win this game. Tyson missed the plane up there, must have been in the car with Kennedy as he didn't make it either. Kent wore the wrong colours because every possession were to his teammates in the power. Plus our whole defence seems to think you play in our own 50, not the other teams.

Median games is the most relevant stat there. 30 is simply a crazy number. We are winning games with a team of babies.

Hard to believe that we're already at Round 10 and it's even harder to believe that the Demons are putting such a young team onto the field each week and yet still remain in finals contention. Th

Jetta can hold his head high. Been fantastic.

Worst we've played all year - including the Essendon game. I hope the club ceases this sponsorship deal with NT tourism. Giving up certain home game wins (Port have a terrible record against us at the MCG) will never get us far up the ladder. 

Special mention to: 

Kent - Selfish goal hog who can only kick on one side

Tyson - Didn't even make the plane trip

O.Mac - Has no actual AFL skills and has no balance

Harmes - Needs to go back to VFL - only survives via some cameos

Kennedy - got stuck in the terminal like Tyson

Shouldn't have played, still nowhere near 100%

Way too many missing and horrible mistakes by foot and hand.

Diamond defense has more holes than swiss cheese.

No intensity.

Horrible game by all standards.

Disappointing, to say the least

Tyson was obviously not over his illness.

Oscar is no way a better option than Dunn at this stage.

Newton and Neale Bullen did not take their opportunity

Petracca's worst game

Midfield did not work despite Gawn playing well

Kennedy had a bad one

Harmes had a bad one

Game plan got caught out today.

Ever time they switched they had players free all over the place. 

We will not play finals this year.

Far too many passengers.  The old saying "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" showed quite a few up today.

Not that we needed proof but the work up by the media this week proved they are clueless. Jump on the bandwagon for clicks. We are way off.

Also why can't we throw the ball as well as other teams. The one time we tried it and I think it was hunt who got pinged for a throw yet port did it quite a lot. We need to work on this

So many problems today. 

Got completely outcoached. Had no idea how to stop that deadbeat Westhoff, no idea how to stop the quick run off half back, no idea how to prevent so many goals over the back. 

Had numerous key players who couldn't get near it today including Viney, Vince, Tyson, Garlett, Kennedy, Newton, Harmed and so forth. Most of our midfield couldn't win a clearance which was the most costly aspect. 

We also cost ourselves dearly in selection again. Didn't make enough changes, didn't bring enough support in the ruck. We needed Pedersen but for some reason went short with Newton who is so poor it isn't funny. As a result we got smacked in the air down back, lost numerous clearances, and continuously got smashed by a loose man in defence. 

A combination of terrible dumb coaching, awful effort from 90% of the team and a complete lack of run killed us today. We are not a finals team and we are about to start a long stretch of very difficult games. This was a golden opportunity blown.

Disappointing game, never really gave ourselves a chance at it. Too many looked flat or ahead of themselves.

Out: ANB, Newton, Harmes 

In: Oliver, Trengove, Dawes

Tyson and Kennedy only play if 100% which neither obviously were today.

Re-sign Jetta ASAP. Forget finals. I never thought it was a realistic expectation, but cetatinly it gave/gives the players something to aim for. We have improved but, if you cannot beat teams above/ahead of us then the improvemen is incremental. Which is how the season is now heading for us. We need to again get time into the young ones BUT also see who will stand up in games like this. Way way to many passengers again against a team we don't match up well against. Diamond defence is cubic zirconia. Let's get a plan B at worst. I never expected a win but hoping for a better performance. Back to the pool here in Bali

I hope the club comes down hard on few payers this week and drops 3 or 4.

Newton typifies the club to me. He is 24 and has played 16 games.

Not many other clubs would have someone like that on their list. 

Another is Garland who is like Miller of old and just keeps getting picked.

We seem to lack the real intensity from not just players but all on all levels.

Its a credit to us supporters that we keep backing them. 

Yes we have improved and done some good recruiting but we need to do much much more to not just play finals one day but to be genuine contenders.

 We wont get there with quite a few of the players on our list as well as moving home games 1000 miles away.Think BiG picture like a premiership. That will boost the coffers.

Us supporters deserve it. We pay for it all. I mean we have been patient for fifty years now. Cut us some slack MFC. Please.

Cannot see us winning anymore than 3 matches which means we will end up a slightly better team than last year. Calls from supporters for ANB,NEWTON and MICHIE to be selected is premature, lets face it senior footy is far more advanced than reserves footy. Let's face it Oliver,Brayshaw (when fully fit) and Vander are much better. Where is MATT JONES? he was playing alright until getting injured.Another rebuild is required at year's end. I don't see Dawes making any difference if and when he becomes available. Trengove may be useful.Why do the reserves get a day off? just because they are playing the SANFL. The reserves start later than the AFL , just don't get it.

    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

    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
