:angry: Having just read the match reports from yesterday, I now pronounce the team to be a collective 'head case'.

Dean Bailey, and good luck to him btw, has inherited a soft team that can kick 7 goals in an opening quarter when nothing hangs on it.

Conversely, last year, and at least two other recent years, top 4 spots were surrendered without firing a shot.

I am disgusted with this season.

Mad monday - your'e joking. It should be the last for a few wearing the red and blue, and not just the retirees .

:angry:

I have a feeling that Dean Bailey will excel when it comes to getting his troops right on the mental side of things

Was listening to SEN tonight and there was a recording of Dean Baily saying that one of the things he recognizes with the club is a general acceptance of mediocrity and is one thing that he wants to change.

I guess that lies heavily on Daniher's shoulders and is rather insulting to his staff and himself. In saying that, Dean Bailey is the new love of my life.

MFC has always tolerated sub-standard performances.

Hopefully that stops now...

Because we do give sub-standard performances, we also celebrate standard performances.

If we play like how Bailey looks, we will be fine.

(That's tough and hard. Not ugly :rolleyes: )

It is not insulting to ND or anyone else in MFC Admin. It is merely stating the factual position. That being said it is not something ND caused. It has been a problem within the MFC since the late 1970s at least & in early 80's in particluar when the culture of just doing enough to survive became entrenched. The flawed logic was that all MFC needed to do was outlast 2 or 3 weaker clubs and that the name Melbourne would protect the MFC from relocation or extinction. May have worked if either Bullies or Roos had folded or the merger with Hawks had gone thru. But that strategy lost any currency with the failure to acquire the Hawks in 96.

ND and the current Admin and MFC Board have failed to correct that attitude.

Dean Bailey at least recognises it and intends to address it! Lets get behind him and hope that his attitude rubs off on the players at least!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
