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.

Reality bus? More like a ghost train.

Craig has brought them back to life.

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

He,s gone now, let it go.

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

You need to stay away from Grandma's Sherry before you post comments

LOL

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!

One word. Four letters. Vegetable.
