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'

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
