I'll keep it simple.  If our structures are smart and performed well, and our best 8 players play well we'll win.  The match will be decided by the performances of Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Vi

The garden show- FMD - that's an afternoon of my life I won't get back. Anyway I've just opened a Heathcote Shiraz to calm me down. As to the footy. Well the ducks will have to line up

Lockhart and May good,

Oliver , Viney  and Gawn better than last week .

Jetta and Hibberd missing in action again.

In line for a 40 plus point thumping.

Other teams have improved where we have gone backwards 

Jones Finished, ANB Gone, Petracca , Fat  and Fritsch no wonder he was dropped for PF Not intensive enough

Oliver STAR!!

This is typical of the game day threads I take it? I'm usually too busy watching the game but thought I'd jump on to gauge the mood. I should've known better.

We could be 10 goals up and it would generally be the same.

We look like a scratch team of guys who can play a bit but never have with each other. Just win the contested ball and hack it forward and hope. Unrecognisable from last year. 

It's very hard to put a finger on it. We are uninspiring. Not terrible but closer to it than we are to looking "okay". It's like we're right near the corner to playing good football but are just as close to the corner of awful football. We're neither coming nor going at this point. We're stuck in neutral.

Dunno how we can be even this close when, apparently, 20 of the 22 selected are pathetic, terrible and VFL standard.

This close ???

Funny

That is what we are at the moment. Because we had no good form or confidence,  coming into the season.

I have to say it.  Jones is a liability.  It has nothing to do with his skills or his body.  It's all between his ears.  He's playing stupid.  He's making idiotic decisions repeatedly and it's costing us goals. 

I also have to take a shot at the umpires.  There have been a few absolutely disgraceful decisions in there.  The high contact free against Lockhart on Selwood when he tackled him around the waist was a particularly fine example.  The multiple clear throws by players who were clearly in the umpires' line of sight also stand out to me, in particular the one inside our 50 which should have resulted in a shot on goal. 

And finally, why the Hell do our layers refuse to take shots?  If you get hte ball on 50, FFS TAKE THE SHOT!  Hitting up the hot spot is the same as turning around and kicking the ball towards the opposition's goal.

  Not sure they are the real problem, it’s bigger than that.

Same old story...

Geelong dominate a quarter, pile on goals like nobodies business

We dominate a quarter, and we grind away for a further 1 point deficit

Even last year, we had to absolutely smash teams around the ball to consistently put it on the scoreboard, we don’t have the outside game required yet.

We are not dominating hit outs and centre clearances and from there contested possessions so we are struggling. Familiar story.

Think everyone needs to calm down 

lot of players underdone I for one didn’t expect to win this.

we have been pretty awful yes but we are winning clearances tackles and inside 50s.

 

 

Yep. My expectations were not high after the preseason and last week. I think we are actually playing ok compared to last week.

In no way do I think we are good. Just not terrible. If it was the same as last week I would be very worried for the rest of the year.

Just hoping we can keep up the intensity.

We consistently win inside 50 counts but simply don’t do anything with the opportunities created

    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
