Bomb it long to the forward line guys.

Apparently he didn't actually say that, but i say that without knowing the quote myself. It is just what i've heardon the grapevine.

Will let you know tonight after two hours of learnings

Come on now, we weren't great last year whether that be to fitness and lingering injuries, but this year we have been shafted with injuries in the position we are most thin, losing Melk, Petty, Frisch

Yeah, ah, I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that if Aaron Naughton was available we'd play him, y'know? On our list we have 13  players at least 194cm... May, Lever, McDonald, Schache,

A key for sure.

Not just your assets though,   but how you use them. 

Different recipes,  same ingredients,  different result.

Have a sneaking suspicion we might have zigged, not zagged.  As most will concur...and going still with food analogy...proof of pudding in tonights eating.

Go Dees

( even have my lucky socks on 😉 )

I think you will need two pair BB.

If we win  ( I am sure ) Goody would remain as a good coach , otherwise he will be Bevo mark 2. Overall I don't think the Dees coaching staff have been creative. Example we have T.Mac and BB both forwards breaking down constantly in other word we get little value from them . We dump Tomlinson when he is playing well , when Petty comes back Tomlinson gets dropped. Then our coaching staff realises that Petty is a forward . We have a backman becoming a forward ,genius coaching. Petty,Fritta and Melk ( born again forward ) get injured . Smith makes the senior side as a non sub,plays forward , another genius idea (not the best however ,but due to injuries he does a Steven Bradbury). We could have tried Tomlinson and Turner up front whilst they we playing for Casey . We shouldn't worry about Schache as a senior player or as a forward , he has had his chances and as far as I am concerned he is another Weidman.

neither. forced into going small tonight. hopefully this means we go quickly too.

At least it's not cold and wet tonight so his selections just might be right for the playing conditions. I really expect a massive improvement tonight. Even playing/kicking badly last week we only lost by a few points and if there were a couple of extra minutes could well have won. How would the media handled that.

Let you know after the game.

Going out straight sets in finals two years in a row would be down right embarrassing. 

It certainly would be embarrassing, even with the injury reasons. You can smell the whole AFL world wants it to happen as well. The days of pity for the MFC are long gone. We are now hated, and they want us to fail. I suppose that's progress?

Goodwin has to win the flag next year or has to go. He has let this team become putrid in skills, he thinks contest and tough defence is all.

Hate his phrase "the score will take care of itself" , rubbish!

Rubbish comment mate.

A brilliant coaching performance against the odds tonight.

If it weren't for a few dodgy decisions we had this.

Coaching is not only the strategy or GameDay, how on earth have many of our players either regressed or stagnated? No skill development.

Great post. If we continue with the slow and high entries with this team then either Goody is insane or the playing group collectively have well below average footy IQ.

Our players are stupid. I'm now convinced of it

BS. Always the umpires isn’t it.

How about we lay the blame at those responsible? Max needs to shoulder a fair bit of the blame with his woeful goal kicking, and the coaching group really needs a rocket and shake-up.

Definitely worth a thread of its own but why o why the inaccuracy

Lack of composure, lack of skill development. For the most part our players have either regressed or stagnated.

Trac same wobbles from last year, Kozzy gets carried away by the emotions, even Fritsch looked woobly in these finals.

Our most accurate kicks are JVR and Fritta. Need one KPF that can mark our long bombs and kick goals.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
