GAME DAY - Round 2



Recommended Posts

Mark Neeld should be ashamed for sitting on his hands all day. We are being humiliated and his only move Is to flood the back line.

Honestly, watching this makes me want to cry. It's just beyond belief that we could have regressed so much!

Yeah that's how I feel, he can talk the talk but he doesn't seem to have great match day tactics... I mean we are almost losing by 100 points and we are still going with the same structures!! And come on Bates should on from the start of the game...

I would much rather Neeld experiment and fail than not try anything... If you're down by 12 goals obviously something's (everything's) not working FFS.

DO SOMETHING NEELD. ANYTHING. JUST DO SOMETHING!

It's rebuild time. Bye bye Bennell. Bye bye Batram, bye Mcdonald, bye Rivers, adios Dunn.

Dare I say ta-ta Watts??

Trade Jamar whilst still holds value. Use compo picks on fresh talent, and hope for the best. See you again in another few years!

I have to totally agree with you!! I think Neeld just needs to scratch this season, this list and start from scratch... makes me question was it all Bailey's fault?! I mean even the biggest shake up, emotional weeks and we can't get one glimmer of heart or attack from our players... wtf is wrong with them?!

Accepting firstly that we have one of the worst collection of footballers since fitzroy..

How was this game plan developed for modern footy? 4 or 5 forwards with 3 or more of them playing high half forward/wing

No team could possibly score enough to win a game of football with this plan.

Do you reckon Neeld just wants to push open the emergency exit on the plane and jump out. meeld would still be no closer on who is our best 22. Just play the players that want to be there and will know give 100%. Its time for Neeld to rebuild from the bottom. Maybe our players arent smart enough to learn the gameplan.

5 years of misery and this is it.

Has there ever been a better club at ripping your heart and soul out and stomping the crap out of it.

We are hopeless there is not one positive thing coming out of this club.

I think we are all being fooled the hope only ever turns out to be a false dawn.

They can't continue to treat the supporters this way.

They give us nothing.

I think there is something else going on at the club.....with this Davey/Mifsud thing where theres smoke theres fire...Players do not look committed at all. They look very distracted.

We just have Zero leadership....the last leader we had we got rid off too quick, McDonald of course.

Oh and sianara Green. Although not playing today I'd like to say bye to Davey and Morton too. Some may say that's unfair- I say I couldn't give a [censored].

I knew we would get smashed today but seeing how inept we actually are in real time makes you realise some truths; We suck and as a team are not AFL standard.

Very poor decision by the match comittee to name Bate sub 2 weeks in a row and bring Petterd,Dunn and Bennell straight into the team.

Bate should have gone straight into the midfield where we're getting smashed the most.

Memo to match comittee-Bate starts next week against the Tiges.

We MUST be tanking again. There's NO WAY a professional AFL coach would let a game go on like this without making ANY positional or strategical changes.

Then again, if that's the case, sack him. Now.

Maybe he is giving them no room for excuses.

At least Neeld now knows the magnitude of his task. Dean Bailey has left him players who are not fit enough and make dumb decisions.

What are the moves mate? There are no moved to make because they're all crap.

Neeld not changing his positioning may be an attempt to instil his gameplan into the players. But by not moving his players around, he can't see what they can do. Throw Clark into the ruck, put Bate on for a whole game for once, put Garland up forward, put Frawley in the middle, put Jamar at full forward. Do something proactive. It's not all up to the players. They need to see that the coach is still trying things - that he still cares. But there's nothing. We may as well have a cadaver up in the coaches box.

ANYTHING! Otherwise we've just given up.

How about Frawley to FF, Clark to ruck, Dunn to midfield... Why just let it continue without putting up as much as a whimper? OR just tell the players to not change ends and see what they learn playing at opposite spots.

Can't wait to the press conference. Need to hear something from Neeld. Also looking forward to the ins and outs thread..

Was thinking what are the odds for Neeld going batshit crazy in the press conference and taking down a reporter or two?

Bulltish!! He needs to fairly cope the blame. It's not the reporters faults that MFC had no focus or direction today.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
