For anyone who would care to comment.  I've lost interest.

 

I lost interest in other teams games on TV,  about 5 Yrs ago...  because they continue to play the bigger clubs all the time on prime tv...  so on principle,  I refused to watch the pies and bombers, etc.

 

They get bigger off our backs, from watching them, on TV...  giving them the ratings.

 So I stopped watching other big clubs,  and I don't buy the papers anymore, nor read them.

 

I do like to watching the  'Melbourne Storm'  on TV.

I fear that we are heading down the path of English soccer with this mindless behaviour at the football.

It's getting ugly and it's unfortunately only going to get worse...

My admiration for Buckley grows with each season...

Maggots umpiring both their most favoured clubs. Made them confused  and making horrible decisions for both sides. 

...and they became more confused when they tried to square up especially at  particularly  tense moments in the game....."ok boys we are just gunna let it go"

And by contrast we're so far off it...

Agree. 

And it took him 6 years to learn how to coach /manage well. I wonder how long it will take Goody and if the club and supporters will stick with him

Thats the thing isn't it.  Rome wasn't built in a day and for 4.5 yrs we made fun of Bucks, We also made fun of Hardwick but both have built competitive teams.  The club believes they have such a person in Goodwin.

sorry the MFC is not a science experiment for wanna be coaches.

He needs to pick up his game.

The Pies and Richmond literally have money to burn.... we don't.

If you want to look for a role model have a look at North. What they do with their limited resources is amazing

Horrific umpiring in what was a good contest. Even the last shot at goal, free kick paid with 1.05 left and doesn't start his approach until there is only 28 seconds left.

Jeremy Howe is a better player than Jake Lever.

They were supposedly booing the umpiring generally as well as the Pendles flop after some contact while bending to get a ground ball with a few minutes to go.

I wouldn't have been happy either.  If you watch the last minute the ball goes deep to the hot zone.  Pie player (whose name escapes me) gathers the pill but is immediately tackled by one arm.  Gets chicken winged to the ground and then illegally disposes the ball throwing it away with one hand.  Free kick to the Bombers....ignored by 4 umps or all blind sided???

That same ball is then in dispute...another Pie player flops onto it and feels some contact from behind.  Goes to ground...push in the back? ...called straight away.  Time clock ticks down...point.  12 seconds to go....game over.

The top 4 Vic clubs ( inlcuding Essendrug when they play us) dont get to the top by accident...

He's one of the few coaches i have time for. Is a quality coach and tells it like it is. Goodwin needs to take a page (or chapter) out of his book.

His head was on the chopping block only two years ago, yet he is lauded now...similarly to Hardwick.

We can’t do anything about Goodwins contract he is locked in whether we like it or not. What I would like to see him do, is just be himself and answer media questions like he’s talking to mate instead of this rehearsed, robotic persona we continue to see..

Rewind the clock about two minutes further and see Baguley get a free kick and goal for a hold when he was the one doing the holding. Total BS free kick. If that hadn’t happened Essendon fans would have nothing to complain about as the game should have been out if reach by the time the Pendlebury thing happened. 

I think in general in our game we have a culture of pissing and moaning about umpiring in general. It’s a game where a lot of the rules are subjective. In every single game there’s calls good and bad. It’s the nature of the game.

It’s a garbage excuse for booing 10 minutes after the game anyway. On a day that is supposed to be about coming togetherness, while ANZAC representatives were on the ground awarding a champion player. Boo your head off while the game is being played, and even after the siren. Once the presentations start, STFU and show some respect.

All good points Nash.  Unfortunately the mob mentality takes over at times.  The AFL may have brought this upon themselves to a degree with their 'Nanny State' response to the Ablett "Boogate" a fair last week.  Bit of protest booing in there as well?

North a role model for what? being [censored]?

it's about giving a new coach time and the supporters backing their coach.  I assume most on here in Collingwoods situation would have sacked Buckley in year 4 or 5. no finals for 4 years after taking on a young premiership side!

if clubs are mature enough, they are patient and will later reap the benefits.

There's some consolation that Bucks had the axe swinging down on him before he pulled his head out of a@##$e and look at him now.

Im hoping Goody does the same.

    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
