Which Players Will Stand Up For Neeld

Watt and Howe?
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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:

    • Col Sylvia

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
