BUMP! I remembered this post as it stood out from the throng at the time. I wondered if you've seen enough now Old Dee

We weren't able to get an 'experienced' coach, even though we tried for Clarkson, and with Eade, Laidley and Craig all available. Mick had to take a year off, and Ross didn't take us into considerat

Everyone bar the most steadfast (pig headed) Neeld supporters have seen enough. He simply has to go.

To be honest, I think Neeld may be almost better then getting MM.

- He has spent 4 years with MM, has been his right hand man and learnt everything he could.

- He is young and energetic, eager to prove himself and show Eddie that they should have chosen him over the fairytale - MM might be a little burnt out and old.

- He is ALOT cheaper then MM, which means we can spend ALOT more on our football department --> ask any serious football club, thats what wins you flags.

- Neeld also allows us to bring another senior person into the club and have some input, hopefully Neil Craig, which means we have the best of two clubs.

I just hope Neeld has the steel to change our culture and restore this club to where it belongs.

Carn the Dees!

I think Viney has thicker skin than that.

Viney from the start has said he intended to return to his original role once a new coach was found.

He didn't even actually declare an interest in the permanent head coaching position - that was inferred by the media.

I will back Neeld alll the way!

As long as the club promises to every fan it will never once use!

The " untried coach","Give him time we are rebuilding" excuses.

We all understood the Bailey situation but its now time to, put up or shut up.

Dockers have come out and said they are demanding sucess from RL pretty much from the get go.

Weren't we saying at the start of the hunting we were going to do the same with a proven coach?

From what I hear, given his background in teaching and at Collingwood, he is great at communicating with players and getting the best from them. He seems to be big on team roles rather than individuals playing for themselves.

Going by this, I fully expect those who were low on confidence/form in 2011 to play better footy in 2012.

This mostly includes Davey, Green, Morton and to a lesser extent Jurrah.

With these 4 playing better footy we will win more games. No doubt about it.

Note sure about MM losing the fire. Still seems to want it although a year out might mellow him and change his outlook. Never know.

I'm also chanting to Lucifer we get a solid Senior to support him like Craig. Be shattered if we don't.

Your post is a good one though Davey.

Nice work

Well at least he knows it will be hard work and admits there is a lot to do. But said he has had a 15 year apprenticeship to get here and wouldnt have put himself through the process if he didnt think he was ready.

Sasd he wants melbourne to be the hardest team to play against. Anyway he spoke well and lets see what list changes he makes.

I loved him. He was very aggressive and bland with the media. If he didn't like a question he threw it back with disdain.

The one thing I love about Mick Malthouse was his ability (some would say lack of ability) with the media. He would stand up for his troops regardless of the scenario and if the question is asked he doesn't want he tells them where to go.

From what I got from meeting number 1 from Mark Neeld was extremely positive.

I'm falling in love

    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.
