Bring back the roller coaster!

Yes that is a positive isn't it - we've managed to irradicate the week on week off inconsistencies of last year.

    If he was really gutted he'd put his hand up to coach...

    No point being the coach NSC if it isn't in his blood to want tto do it. Mark Neeld wants to coach & is a qualified school teacher...a far better option IMO

    How many times does he have to tell you that he doesn't bloody want to coach

    What makes you think that he would make a coaches a....hole

    He was a champion footballer which doesn't equal champion coach.

    What does it take for you to realise that he will never coach.

    Thanks for stating the obvious Gaz.

    I wish he hadn't added to wait and reserve judgement until after the Tigers game though...

    Aah yes the old MFC "Faith in next week" we make an art form about not worrying about today. Helps to always deflect blame.

    Politicians live by it!

    He must rate our chances of getting over the Tigers.

    The only thing I got out of that article is that it is now confirmed Greg Healy is the Footy Operations Manager - previously this had been raised but wasn't confirmed.

    I got one more thing out of it, Lyon spoke about himself in the 3rd person.

    They have probably been a little busy lately but I rang the club two weeks ago to confirm that Healy was on the board.

    And was told he has been since the AGM in early February.

    He his still not listed on the MFC web site as a director.

    And on to the much improved "week off week off"

    Gary knows it's a mates club. He's one of them and lacks guts IMO because he wants his say but prefers to wear his media hat instead of his MFC beenie. He's smart enough not to drink from the poison chalice that is the MFC coaching job but ready to give it to someone like Neeld who is an outsider and expendable. If he does well Gary will share in the glory. If he fails then no big deal because it's the " same old, same old" and no doubt he will step in again to make the next move. Somehow I don't think he would ever go against his mates if it mean't they had to go to get this club running and proud again. If Eddie can be a larger than life media identity and successful club president, why can't Gary do he same?

    Well i think, if you are right, there will be a showdown of sorts because the 30-40,000 people who have been members during the last 4 years will not put up with the tripe we have been served lately for too much longer.

    The Boys have got to get on, or be moved on...The Club is bigger than us all.

    • 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.
