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.

I agree to some extent. But Neeld is coaching his second game - this isn't the old days where you start swinging changes as soon as your down a few goals or getting thumped. The coaches are all about structures and dscipline these days. The game is well over but he will still be looking at which players are running, which players are structuring up, which players are playing to the "gameplan".

    How can a club have 100 more possessions and 20 more tackles.

    40 more inside 50m

    20 more frees

    GWS shows more than this rabble.

    I am ashamed of this club.

    Have to say Clark has done his job! 5 goals in this debacle!! Gotta give him some credit!

    We already look better with Matthew Bate in the midfield. Clarky has kicked 5 goals, none of which have come from marks. That's an intictment on our midfield delivery.

    I just do not what to say 27 to 5 frees and every mistake you could imagine. where can we go from here.?can only be be up. Have had absolutely nothing from Umps. Mark Neeld will need to be a miracle maker. Haing said that we'll beat the tigers by 15

    So we ARE tanking then? Why wouldn't you be trying things to win otherwise?!

    And obviously the gameplan is garbage when you're down by 12 goals so....

    Unfortunately correct!

    Well done Clark & Howe. The rest???

    Jones and Magner (and to an extent McDonald) have done their bit.

    cant beleive we put Mckenzie in the middle two weeks in a row after zero pre season form.

    Bate has to start, and now Couch has to play.

    Mitsubishi as well.

    Yes you are right. I apologize to James. I am emotionally drained today.

    20 more weeks of this...

    I would rather watch some one do a [censored].

    It'd be over quicker.

    Mitch Clark and Magner are the only players I'd keep in this side. I thought our list was poor when Daniher got the boot, but all bailey has done is put games into players that just dont cut it.

    I remember reading that Malcolm Blight sacked 16 players on arrival at North Melb. I think Neeld should do the same - I honestly believe that we wouldnt be any worse and at least if we got flogged afterwards people would know why.

    The following players have no future in a successful Melbourne FC:

    Bennell, Bartram, Bail, Davey, Morton, MacDonald, Blease and Watts.

    Stef Martin and Mark Jamar both had plenty of ordinary seasons before they showed a bit in a few, perhaps old habits have just returned.

    Magner wants to go back to Sandy

    Magner, Clark and Matthew Bate BOG for us. Everyone else needs a long hard look in a mirror.

    1st gamer, pick-up from another club, and someone clearly so fed up with the Melbourne culture that he was screaming to get out last year. Everyone else is indoctrinated into the zombie-like fluff and chocolate (thanks WYL) outlook endemic to the MFC.

    At qtr. time 774 said we had all the better stats. except for 12-1 frees and the score..hmmmm

    I don't know how we are expecting to get through an entire year like this.

    These sorts of results are untenable.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
