Footy club needs to get more ruthless & trust its supporters at the gate!

Stop selling home games to darwin...we ended up taking longer to get there on the plane than the crows yet our home game!

Dosent excuse whats happened today but as a club we need too have every home advantage & valuable 4 points  & until we learn to stand up on our own feet will never be successful...I know Hawks have won flags playing in TAS but thats less than an hour and weather conditions on par.

Reality was that Collingwood came to play. They ran with numbers, used handball effectively around the ball, ran into space all over the ground and took contested marks when it counted. They simply ou

Supporters attitudes do NOT matter. We do NOT influence the outcome, no matter how far ahead of ourselves we may get.

The Soft Underbelly at The MFC is still very much alive and well. 

It must be addressed over summer or we will continue to just waste our time. 

The list still needs massive work. 

Max Gawn needs to get out of the Media and improve his game. 

Nathan Jones needs to be replaced. 

He doesn't stand up like a Captain should. 

Sorry i have to say it. But it happens too often

He didn't have a shot on goal when he should have.

He bombed it in long without looking and thinking, as usual.

He handpassed to his colleagues into trouble as usual.

if we are good enough club then we will win in Darwin. As for home game advantage, did playing at the MCG in a collingwood home game hurt us today.  Our problem is the lack of effort from our players, they were playing to ensure themselves a spot in the finals and they could not even rouse them selves to turn up until the 2nd quarter. by then the damage was done. While we had our chances and missed a few easy shots so did the woods. the difference was the first quarter. if playing finals does not inspire them to play then what the hell will. Does not bode well if we do manage scrape through into the finals.

We had everything to play for and we [censored] it up.

A disgraceful and inept performance.

Again exposing soft underbelly! 

We are far too inconsistent. And not one coach Bar Northey and to a lesser extent Daniher and Roos, has been able to fix it ! 

We need Dr. Who to coach !

Petracca will only get better as its his second year...

Question is our more senior players & leadership throughout the game & week to ensure they were up for this game!

 

This is the main problem, no real leadership, Jones is the only hardcore leader when Viney isn't playing, TMac, Gawn, Bernie are not leaders and mentally soft, rest are young blokes

Basically, this.

I'm so beyond disillusioned right now. Regardless of how the debris falls tomorrow, we threw away this season. We lost to North Melbourne twice (a 6-win team who just obliterated Brisbane, a team who nearly overran us last week). We lost to Hawthorn and Fremantle by under a goal (two more teams not playing finals). In our most important game of the season, we didn't show up until QT.

I resigned myself to missing finals after the North Melbourne loss. I'd come to terms with it; we were the architects of our own demise. It's been so very Melbourne to defy such pragmatic pessimism by getting our hopes up all over again, only to crush them at the final hurdle.

I fully expect we will sit 9th by tomorrow evening. Do yourselves a favour and make peace with it; it'll make it far less painful when it happens.

First female coach in the game's history. Innovative!

That being said, if she was crap then all we need to do is mortally wound her and we get a coach who is the same person but different. 

Win/Win I say.

So so disappointing ! They came out for the start and looked like they couldn't give a toss even before the bounce !  And so it proved ! 

An insult to the fans who showed up ! So embarrassed amongst the Pie fans trooping out after a flogging ! 

They have really stunk it up for some weeks now . No point making the finals as they have completely no hope. 

Hard to praise anybody to be honest. It looked like they were trying to throw it! And hope for a west coast loss to them get into 8 th spot and maybe have a home elimination against Tigers ! (Optimistic view) but , nah , they did a Melbourne on us !

Imagine how rich we could've been laying down $100 on both North games, the Hawks game, the Fremantle game, and today? All were predictable losses waiting to happen.

Frankly I'm shocked we beat Carlton twice, despite our best efforts not to.

As shocked as the Carlton [censored] bag on your profile, Saber?!

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
