An article in MX yesterday quoted Aaron Davey as saying "we have let the coach down" and that they desperately wanted to win this week to repay ND. As far as I am concerned Aaron has hit the nail on the head - they have let the coach down as he is copping most of the flak for the teams poor form. Lets hope they can pull together a win this week to keep ND in his job.

Sometimes i don't think some MFC players realise that this is their job. They are payed top dollar to give their best performance, and many have given anything but. Too bad none are on performance based salaries, we'd see effort put in then. Pity

For all the abuse that Daniher has copped, he deserves to walk from the job with his head held high. He has been one of the best performed Melbourne coaches of the last 40 years. If not the best.

The players owe it to Daniher - as do the supporters - to send him off in the fashion he deserves.

I agree that he ought to walk away with dignity...his choice.

as to being the best performed...well thats hardly a rap for a team thats had a 43 year drought.

I'd just go with the first sentiment !!:-)

If this was the first time we'd heard this it might mean something, but it isn't and it doesn't. More hot air coming from a player's gob as far as I'm concerned.

Agree Nasher. Especially from a player who has underperformed throughout the year.

I am sick of hearing players talk - their job is to perform on the park and our team's best performances have been on the footy show, in newspapers and in the media.

it is time for the players to shut up and get a kick...

as far as i am concerned, they are underperforming for the amount of money that they get paid....

the back page of the daily telegraph after state of origin asked for several nsw players to return their pay cheque - well, there are a few from last week that are very very lucky!!

daniher has held himself professionally in the media over the entire season and has gained people's respect for his ability to tell it as it is!! at the current rate, the coach will walk with dignity and the mfc will again be left with egg on their face!!!

leave the talk to the coach and win games of footy!!

I'm wondering why there hasn't been a media ban on players after this latest discussion about Neale in the media. Is it because of our ordinary membership, support and financial state that we have to continually get out and about in the media and drum up positivity for the club? Words without action are very hollow, as others have pointed out.

Too little too late Flash.

I think thats what the club teachs new players when they first arrive at MFC. The club theme song and the well worn apology 'sorry for our performance, we owe the supporters and coach a win, we are going to have a team meeting to discuss it, senior players need to step up etc etc. I'm going to spew if I hear more of this diatribe.No more player media conferences this season please MFC.

It actually does a disservice to the mfc by playas coming out and making statements and not backing it up.

All talk and no action.

This is just psycho to come out with a comment like this at the moment.

Gag the players........no good is going to come out of this.

There are 100 reasons why they should come out and give it their all week in, week out, and play to the best of their abilities. They are cheating themselves and their mates in the first instance if they don't!

Token efforts to play for the coach is garbage. If you give a stuff about the blokes you run out onto the ground with each week, then start playing for them, because a number of them won't be there next year!

All the more reason for none of the players to speak to the media.

not to speak to the media.........

so no after game match speaking , before the game?

during the week ? tv shows?

this has become to routine of footballers these days.

Lots of very contrast opinions to the brock article.... about melbourne coming to comfortable.... just a thought

BORING!

heard it all before, just by a different player, stuff the coach, PLAY FOR THE JUMPER!

& et al.

You may have heard it all before because this post was from over a month ago.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
