Neeld made menton of this on SEN and said he will be talking to the players concerned on Monday, so I guess he wasn't impressed either.

yeah I heard this as well. I could imagine Mark sitting Jack and Stef down and say so boys what was so fuuny that you were laughing when the team is getting thrashed. I know they are allowed to have a laugh but it didnt look great at that point of the game.

Any chance of getting this little gem on the scoreboard screen at our next game?

LOL - yeah i can relate to that. I see more passion in the players talking to the opposition or laughing it up when not playing than on the field

2 weeks in a row is downright pathetic. Watts in particular can keep laughing and giggling like a private school girl while languishing in the two's for the rest of his career for all I care at the moment. Until he gets some c**t in him I don't want to see him back in the side. And that includes showing that the team getting belted every week hurts even if you're not on the field.

I think as a group of players this lot are the most disappointing because it just doesn't seem to worry them.

On mmm tonight they were asking the question, why are the Melbourne players still out on the ground chatting with the opposition well after the game finished, well why we're they. I saw Stef Martin and Jack Watts walking along together at half time sharing a joke and all smiles; we had just been humiliated yet again by the Hawks in the second quarter but it didn't seem to matter to them.

The supporters care, the coaches care, but the players don't seem to. Are our players professional; not on your life.

The really funny part is they got paid the same as Hawthorn!

This can be a selling point to attract players to the club.

You don't have to be a top player, run too hard or perform consistently to get Buddy , Mitchell , Rioli , Hodge money with us.

Was highlighted by Matthew Lloyd on the Sunday Footy Show and it was agreed it wasn't a great look - apparently Mark Neeld saw the footage and will 'talk' to those involved.

He also said that Melbourne doesn't have any 'profile' or 'respect' from any other club in the AFL and this was further evidence of the mindset of the players.

Wasn't Taylor Walker seen having a beer at a mate's game last year? I remember the comments around that incident at the time were that 'he wasn't happy' and 'will be traded' at season's end.....

Lloyd came from a club that had beaten us up for the last 30 years , little wonder they don't respect us.

Went down the bakery to get some bread this morning and the French guy that runs the show said to me, you can't be happy with your team at the moment especially the way those guys were behaving during the match, he was referring to Watts and Martin. I was gobsmacked I didn't think he knew anything about football let alone watched it, the only reason he knew I followed Melbourne was one of the girls that works there is a mad Melbourne supporter as well and we always have a chat about it.

It just shows that we aren't the only people that noticed and it certainly made the players concerned look pretty amateurish.

It certainly doesnt seem to live up to Neeld's 'desire indicators'

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
