Hang on to your hats people ...

his blue collar desperation and desire to get his hands dirty and get in and under...

The clean-out has started.

Neeld isn't pulling any punches!

big changes at the MFC

exciting times ahead!

"find the best".

We need a fresh start.

I say clean them all out, i like this new cut throat coach.

The season of change is upon the MFC (clear winner)

get rid of this boys club mentality

Well, a week's a long time in football, but apparently not on this site. We've managed 11 meaningless cliches in 22 posts. That's an efficiency higher than that of our midfield's disposal in 2011. Hopefully they'll take our lead!

I'm loving the proactive approach. As Dylan and PP&M said in their 1960's chart-topper, 'the times they are a changin', and who knows, our beloved Demons might again be 'chart-toppers', and sooner than we think. For those who believe in omens, the hit single was first released in 1964!

Well you can't teach an old demonlander new tricks, and your really are only as good as your last post. So I just hope posters do not rest on their laurels and start keeping it real so they can take it to the next level.

MELBOURNE has appointed the highly-credentialed David Misson to the role of fitness manager.

Misson, regarded as one of Australia’s best and most versatile fitness coaches, comes to Melbourne following a four-year stint at St Kilda, where he was elite performance manager.

So who is this guy is he any good ? your thoughts !!

This new guy is the one who sorted out all the osteitis/hammy problems for the Saints in the pre- season .I like Neelds keen eye for a poach .

I agree the rumours regarding this seem strange if we have just secured a highly-credentialed "elite performance manager" Also why would Neeld want another ex-Senior coach looking over his shoulder so to speak.

I think that the rumour started prior to the new coaches appointment and they may be rethinking this move because what we have heard of Neeld is that he has very strong views on how things will be run in regards to the Football Department.

I also agree that its time for Chris Connolly to move on.

I'm also concerned about the rumours of Craig's role - director of coaching (haven't we seen Collingwood have no idea what to do with one of them) and input into fitness/sports science (Misson's role). I want Craig as he is experienced and a well regarded, but I wonder where he is best suited, both in the industry and in within the football club.

My thoughts too

Todd Viney stays. The rest...Thanks & good Luck.

The axe is swinging, and we should see a whole new brand of footy at the MFC next season. I have no idea what to expect. Time to sit back and watch it all unfold.

I agree, & I can see the Axe is coming down from a Full Swing.

Lets look see where this will end with the List?

And Captaincy? I can see a 4 Yr plan Unfolding. We have the young talent, save for a couple of spots that may, or may not be on the list.

Wow. He's hitting the ground running. I think a few players will need to be looking over their shoulders if this keeps up.

It is interesting to see who has been moved on. A few days ago we had one of our club officials (Lyon?) say that we wouldn't want to loose all of the learning and experience we've put into the coaching group, so if we've gotten rid of these ones it would appear to strengthen the position of those who remain. Personally, I'm really hoping to see the back of both Mahoney and Royal as well, but I suspect at least one of them will remain with us.

"Given the recent appointment of a new senior coach, it was determined that he needed the opportunity to bring in his own people - as Scott was out of contract, a hard decision had to be made."

Got me wondering if Neeld already has people in mind? Malthouse and/or Burns maybe? Extremely interested in seeing who fills these positions.

I dont get all the hate for Mahoney? this guy got our forward line to be one of is not "the" most efficient in the league, we had limited supply and when it went in it was turned into a score many times.

Secondly West, so much love for the guy, he was an amazing player, but our midfield stunk imo, i know alot of the players are young buut we were seriously doing some shocking things, and plenty of times just didnt look like we worked hard enough, particularly around stoppages, something this guy should have been ontop of...

And finally the new guy, sounds amazing, involved with the Sydney Premierships, chased previously by Carlton, ect really really happy

    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.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
