Say what you like, but in the three weeks since he's been turfed out, I have enjoyed footy more than I have in two years.

I'm sure many of the players feel the same.

We would have lost by 80+ under Neeld and he'd come out and praise the effort. He had good intentions but no idea.

Ok I think it is fair to say that the players just weren't simply playing for Neeld and had lost respect of the playing group. If he was still coaching we would have lost by 50 points to both WB and ST Kilda and 100 against Sydney. Its amazing what an experience coach can do to a group like this...

I actually see some hope again - that and the improvement is giving me some incentive to come back to the games

Jesus bloody Christ! I hope I'm wrong about this one. What a thread this was.

Let's just drop it... Mark Neeld is/ was yesterdays Greek Tragedy, and will go down arguably as the worst coach Melbourne have ever had!

Why persist with analysis, discussion about him any further!

MOVE ON!

I think our midfield has improved the past couple of weeks.

It's an area we need to work on, but let's not forget, we have Viney to add to our midfield.

Another high draft pick along with hopefully the improvement on Trengove, we should be ok.

W H A T ? Improved the last couple of weeks?

They have been THRASHED mercilessly

It stands out as our singular greatest weakness. It is the single biggest obstacle to us improving in the future

We need to put all our resources into picking up midfielders, midfielders and midfielders

Plus a good start would be to get a decent midfield coach to stop us haemmoraging

Ahem like the opportunity to draft "Ollie Wines" but as usual went for the promise of silky disposal!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
