It's appointments like these that should make those who've chucked in their hard earned to help this club feel good about their contribution. It is making a difference and that difference will be felt

I cant for a minute speak for him but judging by some of his recent commentary since departing I think hes got a genuine soft spot for us. ANd why not . We can all look back and wonder why some thing

Looks that way Belze. With Gazza in the driving seat whippin' the horses! And Neeld having just grabbed hold of some of the reigns as well yellin' "shove over bro". This might have been the year it

I don't know anything about the guy but from what all you guys are saying it sounds like a good get!

Where are all the Melbourne bashers who said we are too passive and are therefore weak and amateuristic ? How do you like them apples?

Looks like we are rebuilding this sinking ship after all. Very excited!

woweee, this time last week demon fans everywhere were devastated by the loss of $cully, how quickly a week changes things.

Since then a strong coach appointed and whilst letting everyone know Melbourne will be tough and hard to play against, he has shown he is not a man of words, but action signing Mission up within days. Neil Craig could be the cherry on top and things are looking up for the dees

Bring on 2012

It could depend what skills they were looking for Neil Craig to bring. If it was for his strength as a fitness/sport science expert then this may have negated the need to get him.

We may still want an experienced senior assistant for Neeld, but we may now want one with a different skill set...

This is great news and adresses a big issue we have had for a number of years. We need to keep our best 18 on the park. With young players you expect them to miss games but they are coming into 3-5 seasons their bodies should start to be able to cope with playing AFL footy. Like any club if you can go from using 38+ players in a season to around 30 you will have a good year.

Wouldn't say I am asexcited about next year as much as I am about 2013. This is a great get for the club which along with the natural development of players should see big benefits for our boys.

All the talk over here in WA when Ross Lyon came across was the hope he would be bringing David Mission over with him. They say a week is a long time in footy I like what Garry, Schwab, Mclardy and the board have done. Kept everything in house no leaks and would not comment on any of the coaching rumours, very professional and now we can see a lot was being done behind the scenes.

Forgotten all about the doom and gloom people were talking up when a former player followed the big schilachos on offer last week

2011 may well have been the kick in the guts we needed

More Excellent work by our CEO i am thinking.

Caroline Wilson, your articles about Cameron Schwabb over the last 12 months are starting to look very flimsy.

As was your Ridiculous editorial on Footy Classified last night.

You're right, it looks as though some of areas of weakness are starting to seriously be addressed..............wonder how Bails feels about this!

I cant for a minute speak for him but judging by some of his recent commentary since departing I think hes got a genuine soft spot for us. ANd why not .

We can all look back and wonder why some things werent done sooner and such but I think in his own way he'll wish us luck, as I do him.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
