“Yes it is….for Weid 😎 

Are you suggesting he does the full Mason Cox trick and wear sunnies 😎?  Would that make all the difference? 🧐

I am not panicking. But to lose 3 times in a row the exact same way tells me the system is not working with the available personel

Respect your opinion, but you don't have all the information around the current situation.

Happy to respect/trust the person/team that does have most of the information.

Different personnel doesn't mean new game plan, in fact, I would argue it means quite the opposite.

Clearly we haven't executed the game plan well for most of the year, but it's safe to assume we haven't changed much about it since last year. So what parts of our premiership winning game plan do you suggest we change?

Last year we had players running in 2-3’s

We had forwards making their own space

hasn’t happened this year so far

So this year they implemented a change to the game plan to tell forwards to crowd together and everyone to run by themselves?

No I don’t.
But 3 weeks to lose EXACTLY the same way each time. That is enough evidence to tell me there is a problem. 
How big that problem is, we will all find out soon enough.

We used to thrive in the 3rd Quarter

Now that has dried up completely.

Why? and how to fix it…..

What if the people who do have the information, have confidence that the problem wont be a problem for too much longer? 

Problem solving / creative thinking doesn't appear to be a strength on the old demonland.

And you think what you are seeing / thinking is more valuable/important than the people who have the information you don't?

Well then there won’t be a problem, but until that happens it will be discussed on a discussion board 

Losing 2 in a row can be explained 

Losing 3 is a trend

Not at all. 3 losses in a row is what i am seeing. Bad losses, where we completely dry up in the 2nd half. I don’t think that is planned inside the Club

Do you think we planned to lose in front of Neale?

i sure hope not

Come on mate, you're better than that.

The players aren't executing, there's a mountain of discussion about why, but the problem isn't the game plan. If you believe that the coaches got together and said 'next year we're not going to pressure, we're going to clump our forwards, and we're going to turn it over as much as possible' then I think you need to reconsider your "I can  only go on what I am seeing" philosophy.

happy to discuss. But am just struggling listening to someone asking for changes (that don't actually make any sense) when their basis is on a lack of information vs the people employed to make the changes (who do have most of the information)

Clearly the club didn't plan to loose 3 in a row. But with a bit of luck (less mid game injuries etc) we would have won 1 maybe 2 of the 3 (and be either 12-1 or 11-2), at the same time as setting ourselves up to be peaking at the pointy end of the year. 

Just struggle to see why it is so difficult for people to comprehend what is going on at the moment.

We don’t score after halftime. That is now a fact, until it is rectified. 
players have stopped being creative 

Why?  3 weeks exactly the same scenario 

Something is not working, unless it’s training loads, we are in a bit of strife with both Max and TMac unavailable for weeks

We led all 3 games comfortably and then stopped, that has nothing to do with luck.
Once momentum shifted we had no answer 3 times

Exactly. One of the most dominant second half teams for 10 rounds (who went 10-0), suddenly has very little run/effort/pressure 3 weeks in a row to defend sizeable leads??    Does anything more actually need to be spelled out??     And if that is not simple enough to work out, have a look at what the premiership winning team did around this time last year?? 

That's me tapping out. Will be back in a month or so, to watch the "detractors" come crawling back. 

Go Dees.

Or does it??!

Maybe the coach has a reason not to panic, like the majority of his snow loving, fair weathered supporters? 

 

If you support the MFC you are certainly not “fair weathered” or you would have left decades ago.

The METHOD of the losses is concerning. If it is training loads and only that, it isn’t anything to worry about. 
But i think it goes a little deeper than that. 
Time will tell

Why are we bothering to play the games if we're just going to lose anyway due to loading? Ìts complete crap.

nearly won 1 maybe 2 out of the 3 :- and the sacrifice means we be peaking at the pointy end of the season. 

What is so difficult to comprehend??

You don’t win flags without planning/training to be peaking at the right time of the year

looking forward to some headlines next week

“Time for some Majak”

“Dees turn to Majak”

“Dees open the Daw”

Surely he comes in. Offers more than Weideman imv  

 

There something going on with Daw that we do not know about. He has missed a number games this year including last Saturday with no reason given. And does not appear on the injury list. I doubt we will see him in the seniors against the Lions.

The majority of people on here rabbiting on about loading don't even know what it is, yet alone have any actual (i.e., factual) evidence that we're doing it.

In the post-match interview on Monday, ANB scoffed at the idea that our current losses might have something to do with fitness. i'm with ANB.

    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.

    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
