Did anyone read in todays herald sun (sat 17/3 ) that Mark Neeld puts all melbouren players on notice

if they dont preform well or dont have a good attitude they will be sacked and dropped from the vfl.

Neeld has given brett Lovett the authority to do as he pleases with the melbourne players even have them play

in the vfl reserves .

S----t will we have a team to field come round one against the brisbane lions

Same here, refuse to even go to the site to see what the couple of free articles the offer are.

Really, they cant charge 50c a day for an item which they have provided for free until sales of there main product decreased?

I think it sucks to but really they are a business and you liked the HS when they were giving you a free ride ect

Is fair really,

Nothing new in that, MFC players have been playing in the Casey 2s for years.

Wait a second.

WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND!

PLAYERS WILL BE DROPPED IF THEY DON'T PERFORM!?

GIVE THIS MAN A GODDAMN CONTRACT EXTENSION AND GIVE SALARY RAISES TO EVERYONE AT CASEY.

NOW!

He was saying that about two months ago. That he has specific roles to be filled and if somebody can't fit them they'd get the boot to the VFL.

I hope one of his specialised role is "person who can hit a target by foot".

I seem to recall the way from around 2008-2010 Collingwood under Malthouse started to leave out the likes of Presty, Medhurst, Lockyer, Holland and other senior players for a number of the kids they'd brought through. I think we will see the transition start to occur this season and our team by the end of 2013 heading to 2014 will be very different to what we may predict currently

IMO this all for public consumpsion.

If he followed through on this we would only have a team of about 15 to field after the last two weeks.

As you can see you can get a completely new set of Coaching staff between seasons

but it takes 5 years at least to turn over a team of players.

You simply cannot say this 15 players go and replace them with better players over night.

You can fling 5 or 6 back to Casey and replace them but what if the replacements are no better.

This is hyperbole for MFC member consumption and a threat to 3 - 4 senior players.

Remember it is difficult to pull up your socks if you do not have any on!

The difference PSD is that the Pies still had a good list of senior players at the time.

The ones you mentioned were in Mick's eyes not going to win them a flag.

But he did have a solid group without them.

The MFC does not have a solid group of senior players

I think that is very much the thinking of Mark Neeld. Some of our older players are staring down the barrell as it should be.

It is now up to the players.

Learn & apply or goodbye...

I probably didn't put it right what you will see by the end of next season and early 2014 is the core nucleues of our solid group of senior players. Not talking flags by then thats 2016 and beyond IMO

This is great if he sticks to his word, I don't care if we struggle to field a team as long as the blokes who run out in the red & blue give it THIER all, lets call it a REAL culture shock to the MFC, bring it on I say. My thoughts are that with our current list we are still a long way off being the hardest team to beat or even competitive with the better teams, and it really irks me that teams like Crows, Eagles have, it would seem, turned it around so quickly, we stuck it rite up crows last year, but they look much bigger and stronger and more disciplined than us AGAIN, i no we haven't played them yet but hey……..i ain't blind!

I really don't envy Mr Neelds job, YET!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
