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.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
