Really?  You guys take issue with that? 

I get the angst now, given what has transpired since, but FMD....

Yeah i do. Finals were never confirmed all year. Particularly during the St Kilda clash. 

Theyve not only been drinking their own bath water, but they've been bathing in it for months.

On saturday PJ said on radio that The MFC was now a respected club

Articles like this throw that trust down the toilet. 

These players have no respect...Yet

Goodwin just said goodbye to a relaxing Christmas break...

Yeah they've been humbled with what's transpired but it's the arrogance that has played it's part in the result.

Cause and effect.

What a petty thing to bring up in a radio interview. Wouldn't be surprised but sounds like something someone made up to make our demise even sweeter.

We were flying mid-season and there was finally a bit of swagger and bravado about the Dees. I really don't think the football world enjoyed seeing us succeed.  Part of me wonders if the players were chastened and embarrassed by the attacks and criticism of media and past players and if this contributed to our shaky form at the end of the season. Who knows.

Jackson spoke on the radio as if the club had already made the finals. Terrible content and timing. One of his few failings as a MFC administrator.

I hope this is untrue. Arrogant and obnoxious if true.

Nothing wrong with what was said. It would have been done to try and get a psychological edge on the opponent. I'm sure St Kilda were talking it up also at different stages. Happens very game for every side. Makes for interesting reading but that's it

Yes i know he did. I heard him say it on SEN and 774

The Players have let PJ down

Jones should step down as Captain if the above quote is true. 

He has not taught the players well

He did but he still went way too far with other comments. You never talk anything up as an administrator until its a done deal. At least Goodwin always had the sense to never say we have achieved anything until round 23 was completed. Others in the club seem to have got ahead of themselves going by some of the comms that came out

You maybe right. Now is the time to open all the dark closets. Because the attitude over the last month was visibly bad

on Saturday it stunk and must be removed, if that means officials, coaches or players must be moved on, so be it  

we must have the attitude of Essendon in 2000 after they choked '99  PJ was there during that time  

But is the MFC Strong enough??

Look I think they will learn their lesson but PJ with his experience should have been all over it but instead he contributed to it. As I said, one of his few failings but very surprised it happened at all. We will need to be stronger than any previous admin, coaching and player group to achieve the ultimate given the ingrained mediocrity and repeat behaviours of our club over the years gone by

    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

    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.
