What if May had of come to pre season fit?

What if J Smith had 've been taken off the ground rather than aggravate his groin?

What if McDonald & Weed were in form? 

What if Lewis wasn't so slow?

What if Jones passed the ball off instead of breaking tackles?

What if Clarry kicked the ball more?

What if Lever hadn't of gotten injured?

What if Goodwin tried a different plan?

What if he played Fritter as a forward?

What if he played Frost & Hunt on the wings?

What if the ladder was upside down? What if this season is just a nightmare & we all wake up 2moro morning?

What if.........?

What if I wasn’t a Melbourne supporter is something I’ve asked before.

I look forward to seeing 'when' rather than 'what if'!

What if we held firm and demanded pick 5 off of Freo, and drafted Rozzee.

What if we didn't sell the farm for Lever.

What if Oliver didn't sh*t himself everytime he had the ball in close and dished it off like a hot spud.

What if Petracca wasn't scared to take the game on.

What if Brayshaw didn't turn the ball over so much and had penetration in his kick.

What if we had two Christian Salem's.

What if we didn't overrate Tom McDonald as a forward. He isn't a forward's a-hole.

What if Gawn was an effective tap ruckman.

What if Goodwin could coach.

What if we dropped Lewis back to the VFL - where he belongs.

What if Hibberd went with him.

What if we had of kept Bernie Vince.

What if.

Agree with Rozee call, though we would have taken Bailey Smith

Early candidate for Post of the Year, KingDingALing. Reading that didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

What if instead of spending over $1200 on memberships this season I put that money towards alcohol... 

$1200 ... That's a return ticket somewhere. Just an idea

What if we all just accept this year is a write off as disappointing as it is.

What if we all stop blaming our coaches & players.

There will be some serious egg on face in 12 months.

We'd still be slow?

 

The sad fact is that some of those were preventable (recruiting Lewis, who Cornes reckons would not have been offered a likeable deal by any other club) long ago.  Lewis didn't suddenly slow down over the pre-season.  He was slow when he walked in the door.

The other sliding doors moment happened during the finals in 2018, where Scott and Geelong totally revamped their stocks (youth, talent), where we were comfortable beating slow teams on the G.  In contrast, we traded our way out of the super-draft, and paid big money for icing rather than cake.

 

When this club has review at the end of 2019, all it had to do was read the preview here in the past few years.  That is the sad reality.

Clint Bizkit: "Hi."

TGR: "Jordan Lewis is slow, we never should have recruited him and we paid too much for Lever."

Clint Bizkit: " We fumble too much and don't know what to do when we take a mark."

    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
