Night of passion with my boyfriend or watching this game in the hopes we could make an effort out of it. Gee I’m an idiot

Petracca just did not go hard enough. That sums him up. Christian you are so frustrating. 

Ugh next week is so so important. Massive, the loser will rightly so cop more heat. 

Thank god I was out and only got home to watch the final term.

Pretty clear now with decent sampls size that were just not where we thought we were. List is young and seems to have far more gaps than we realised - WC started the misery and all clubs inc Bris have followed suit and showed us up for pace and with getting behind our back 6 consistently. 

Much work to do to even salvage a top 8 spot let alone any grand delusions at this stage. Could be corrected by later in year but personally I cant see how. Cats went and fixed their holes we’ve just viewed WC loss as a bad game and tried to do same thing again without getting any fwd pressure in and a backman who we then play with two of the back men we wanted gone.. woeful and shame but it’s a LONG way off let’s not kid - we’re 8-13 at best I’d say. 

 

Hoped LW was aberration but gut feel was that it wasn’t - esp when blues nearly Knocked port off.. oh dear - we need 5-6 feisty pressure players at least over next year or two, or a miracle change in style.

Too slow. Too unskilled.

We’re just not that good a side. We can play better than this but who would say our ceiling is as high as a team like Collingwood or WCE. We’re a mile off.

I also can’t help noticing how much smaller we look than the oppo. We look like a bunch of shrimps compared to most sides.

There will be those that giggle and deride this thread as over -reactive. They'll say we need to review in cold light of tomorrow.

They're denialist. This is crud.

Actually...we aspire to crud. This is is devestational.

Even rubbish is useful if understood.

I ...just don't understand this club.

Nicely put. 

For me this in many ways is more unacceptable than anything in the previous 8 years.

You recall we won two finals last year right?

I do and then when we came up against an actual contender we got flogged and we haven’t won a game since. 

The team we beat in a final just flogged us like a dead horse. 

We won nothing in 2018 and 2019 looks like it will be much the same.

Absolutely squibbed it. He has been awful. Not improving...a footballer going nowhere! I want him to be good but it ain’t happening

Thats was a commitment act.   And he is not totally committed, and so is not fully focused, because of it.

He will never get any better as long as he does not fully commit to the team and to the game.   Tracca thinks far too much about tracca.

 

Mind you, he has a few mates doing similar this season.

Fritta is disappointing so far.  I think Fritta needs a spell at Casey.  He is well off his own standards.

I would persevere with Hunt, but push him forward.

I would  drop Petracca now with Fritta, so they both can sort themir heads out with the VFL.

Its time for Keilty, and Stretch again.

Keep Lockhart in.

Sparra back to Casey.

 

I want to see a quicker running Mfc team next week, against the Bummers.

Um ...Hawkins had enough time to give away a goal - just stood in the goal square, waited for the second gamer to arrive, and give him the ball for a goal.

Cones at training do better than we are doing.

Oliver - star, never stop trying

Braywhaw, Hibberd, Melksham and a few others

 

126 to 40 - and we have had nearly DOUBLE the inside 50s...

Shocking

Check out round 4 last year.

We've had 72 to 48 inside 50s, cats have been super efficient, we will be fine.

    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
