  1. 1. If you were Mark Neeld, what would you do with these two?

    • Keep them both. They are among our best players and indispensable to the side.

    • Move them both on. I've seen enough to know they're not going to get any better. We need to rebuild our midfield and should trade them out now while both have currency..

    Moloney employs the manager, not the other way 'round. Get real.

    So the manager is doing his job....Is he not???.....The same as all managers of FA players......Is not Cloke's manager doing the same thing (even though it's his Dad)......It would be incomptent if all managers were not doing the best deal for their clients who have the chance to avail themselves of FA........This is the future.....Get used to it...

    These same people are in for a major shock during the Trade Weeks. As Gough Whitlam said way back in '72. "It's Time"

    No not change for change sake. We need better than that. I am sure the work has already begun. Neeld has 3 years. The 1st. is already cooked so this draft period coming could make or break him.

    Be bold Boss, we have watched in the shadows too long.

    I grew up fearing Demons. The stuff of nightmares. Let's see some of that on the MCG.

    How about we start at the SCG....

    I don't think it will happen. I think the approach now is to keep players under the gaze and control of conditioning staff. All things have their use-by date.

    as do players !!

    Did anyone read the Melbourne Board on Big Footy? There was an allegation on the "changes for next week" thread that there was a Melbourne player who had to be helped out of Crown and bundled in to a cab on Saturday night..

    Relevant to this thread.

    Didn't read that just the allegation that the Melbourne player was s/faced and needed assistance to get out of Crown and in to a cab.

    Forget the manager. Brent calls the shots.

    And yes, he can do what he likes. No problem. But as a supporter of the MFC, I can also do what I like. And in this instance I'm calling Mr "we won't deviate from the straight line" out for acting like a rat scampering from the sinking ship when the more noble action would be to put your head down, bum up and work your tail off for the club in its hour of need.

    That's the way to earn respect, not only from within your own club but from the outside football world as well.

    Yeah the boys were out on the town celebrating another loss this weekend. I thought players generally don't get wasted during the season. Or is that just all there other clubs. Sigh.

    Great.

    Is that player still in the selected side?

  • Quote

    Yep he is. This is the reason why the club had to make a 19 year old captain. These "senior" boys dont care anymore.

    It doesn't sound like 'elite compliance' - the player shouldn't be playing this weekend.

    Where is the evidence.....You can't hang someone on rumour....

    Maybe that player still being in the team is evidence of it not happening?

    But if it is true - we have more evidence that we have an issue with our senior players.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
