Jamar, Dees up for challenge

"MELBOURNE has been challenged on all levels by new coach Mark Neeld - and it's a good thing, according to ruckman Mark Jamar. "

In defiance of what some people seem to think of as an affront to the players it would seem its just the tonic the players need to spark.

I dont expect all to respoind in quite this manner. There will undoubtedly those (players) who actually believe themselves that they will be up for it, that they will be part of the renaissance but history shows not everyone makes it and often its from opportunities created at these times that the unsung comes to the fore.

Neeld seems to be pushing the right buttons...

    In the commensurate article in The Age (http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/russian-eyes-leader-prize-20111116-1nj4k.html) it mentions Jamar as a leader and asks whether he would like to be captain...

    Do some research, Pierik.

    He has never been in the leadership group and that is telling. As Mark himself says in the article - he has to establish himself as a leader before he gets in the LG, let alone get anywhere near the captaincy.

    Otherwise, it was good to read about Bate and the positive response of a few to the new setup.

    So Neeld has been fronting every player "one-on-one" (Face-to-face) during pre-season training.

    I think they would be different.

    Bate he wouldn't let go during trade week and is in great nick and training with the midfield.

    Dunn is doing whatever Dunn is doing.

    I may be in the minority here, but I love Dunn's mo. I'd be very disappointed if he got rid of it...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
