Big Watts fan, but he needs time at Casey. 

Not 100% sure if that's the whole problem. Our goal kickers have been down the last 5 weeks. Forward structure and forward entries have been woeful. 

Troy Chaplin needs to go. Forward structure was better under his predecessor.

I agree about Chaplin. [censored] player, [censored] coach. Beggars belief as to why we got him onboard

Went to the pub to watch the game. Have now left the pub as that was basically the most pathetic quarter - where is our intensity and ferocity? We should have been bashing up on this mob. But instead they're just running rings around us and we look very very ordinary.

Gee what if this rent a team had their other 3 gun forwards in?

I said last week after Norf loss that we wouldnt make finals but I didnt think we just wouldnt care today.

There is something wrong with this team.

Give Petracca a run in the magoos. Do him good. 

It is time for a clean sweep. Trade watts for sure. No questions. Sick of having show pony pretenders around. We all defended him because of all the criticism but the truth is it was all warranted.

Focus now for next year. Book your hollies boys we ain't there in Sep.

 I'm broken.  

I've hung in there all these years and continually paid memberships, travelled to games, even when I need to use annual leave the next day. 

But now I just cant do this anymore. The anger is getting worse watching this game style and the constant choking and lack of leaders. It's ruining my weekends.  

It's been a blast, but I'm done. 

Last week woke me up a bit. I got so angry, and I hated how I felt and behaved. What's the point, really? It's an emotional investment that is far too costly. It ruined my weekend. Where does it all lead to? What's the end goal? Wins make for a great feeling but I can cling on for so long. I'm not attending the final 3 games. If they make finals, I'll jump back on.

Switching off now, as this club did our season 40 minutes ago.

I will set myself up for more heartbreak again in the near future as I've loved this club ever since the old man surprised me with my first jumper when round at grandads circa '79.

The wait continues.

Driven 7 hours. Put up with enough flatulance from bbo to cause the sea to rise 10m. About to snow at ground. The people seated in front of me don't know a single thing about the game. Only portable toilets and frozen pies.  

And this is what the team puts on!

It's worth pointing out who is standing up in such a disgusting effort with so much on the line.

Jetta is the first to come to mind who can hold his head up.

Thats a bloody good point.

Arousal levels high after a disappointing loss the week prior?

I'm not surprised.

And I won't be if we win.

The real challenge will always be backing it up. Against St Kilda. Then Brisbane. Then Collingwood. 

 

This post isnt looking quite as profound now is it Steve? Even with the edit lol

:P

GWS are scary good. Imagine when they get their forward line back. They should be odds on favorite to win the premiership. 

We are a long way off from where they are. Will make me feel sick when they hold the cup up. 

 

They've been average at best for the last 2 months, we've made them look good today

Can you get BBO to point his arse in the other direction this qtr??

    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

    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
