Which Players Will Stand Up For Neeld

Watt and Howe?

LJ -- Misson will pile on 10kg, Neeld will only accept hardness and from the fire will emerge a Gary Ablett snr-esque unstoppable force of nature.

Given Jurrah's game style I really can't see the benefit of adding 10kgs to his frame. He needs a better fitness base so he can produce repeat efforts on field, but I can only see that more size will rob him of speed, arial ability and agility.

    For mine:

    • Cale Morton

    Looking forward to seeing who flies and fails under Neeld. Makes for an interesting year.

    they all will or they won't get a game and be traded at end of year, simple story

    Grimes into the midfield... really need a consistent player who has good efficiency in there.

    Are you talking about disposal efficiency? Cause Grimes ain't your man. Mind you he'll benefit from not having to dispose of the ball so often in the defensive 50 while under extreme pressure from an opposition forward press. FWIW I think he'll play his nest football as a mid. Then again, if we're talking about role players, he's your Hodge or Maxwell...

    Wonder if Clint Bartram has any history with the new coach given Clint was probably at Ocean Grove around the same time.

    IIRC, Clint was U16 when he was there, Neeld was senior coach. So some, but likely limited, interaction. Same with Greaves at Falcons.

    I dare say though, Bartram will be the kind of player Neeldy will love. Hard at it, does what he is told, plays his role every week.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
