GAME DAY

[demoniac 1,336]

I have no idea what Dean Bailey spent the last 4 years teaching our players.

[Cards13 9,117]

They are pitiful. The same issues over and over and over and over again. No rectification at all. How long until we start seriously querying the coaching tactics? I don't understand how new coaches at other clubs to instill improvement, but we play like we have lost major players, and starting a rebuild. It's pathetic stuff. Worst team in the league by a country mile. Awful, awful stuff.

if the players are not up to it wouldn't matter what game plan we had. "No accountability from the Melbourne players"

[P-man 13,366]

I'm questioning Neeld big time. This is ridiculous.

Trengove looks like a C grade plodder week after week. Make the game run in slow motion and he might do alright.

[Face Your Demons 175]

You can't blame this on the game plan, their just no good. The games over at the 26 min mark in the first

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

If I see Trengove bump another player well after the player has disposed of the ball (becuase Trengove is too slow to get to him before hand) I will spew up.

I just spewed.

[garyh007 112]

When are we coming onto the ground

[Carrot Top 947]

I think I am starting to hate this club.

[demoniac 1,336]

Seems we're back to a "Bailey" type start....progress?

The progress is that Misson will get us up to AFL fitness standards and Neeld will demand his players become hard smart AFL Footballers.

[BAMF 4,427]

Damn it.This is pathetic. Mark Neeld needs to do something here. We are simply hopeless.

[stuie 7,374]

I have no idea what Dean Bailey spent the last 4 years teaching our players.

Get a clue mate. We were better under Bailey. Proof is in the pudding.

This is the worst team I have ever seen.

[titan_uranus 25,060]

The thing that I cannot tolerate is what seems to me (and most people watching or listening) to be a substandard effort. Once again we look lazy, slow and disinterested. It's one thing to be lacking skill, and trying to implement a new game plan, but it's another altogether to look like you aren't trying your best.

Week in, week out, we should be giving 100%, and it doesn't look like we are right now. That is something that no Melbourne supporter should accept, however optimistic you are about our future. Right now, this is just pathetic.

[Demon Dynasty 17,114]

Don't worry fellas.....we've got this!!

[Cards13 9,117]

There WILL and SHOULD be a ton more pressure on Neeld's job after this. This is too pathetic to be just "learning a new style".

Questions now need to be asked, and blame will be laid at his feet this time.

Give me a spell if the players are lazy and not willing to put the effort in makes no difference who is coaching whith what plan. The players have ALL the blame for this rubbish.

[Satan 2,915]

A rabble. This will have ramifications.

A rabble without a cause

[stuie 7,374]

The progress is that Misson will get us up to AFL fitness standards and Neeld will demand his players become hard smart AFL Footballers.

blah blah... all huff and puff... clearly it's BS if you've seen us play at all this year

[The HuLK 139]

Don't know how Brian royal is still at our club!!!! His our midfield coach right? Needs to go at the end of the year.... We are the the worst football side in the history of the game!!!!!!!!

[Biffen 12,949]

Little Blokes with limited skills not tagging .

[olisik 4,060]

Sack moloney. He brings nothing to the club nor would he to any club. His manager is dreaming

[DeeZee 7,445]

Trengove ,Sylvia , moloney and bartram must be dropped next week, they are liabilitiesI

[The heart beats true 18,182]

186?

[garyh007 112]

Hey rhino good to see Morton haing such an influence on the game please refer to last weeks second post

[Jarka 767]

I'm absolutely gutted with how bad we are, I just can't believe how terrible we've become. Drop marks, slipping over, poor disposal, poor decision making, it just goes on and on. I'm finding it difficult to watch our games now, it just makes me so angry.

What happened to all of our talent? WTF is going on with the players?

I've backed the FD this season because I believe that we're headed in the right direction but it's getting harder and harder to be patient when they serve up crap like this.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Our midfield is incapable of getting their hands on the ball. We are no where near strong enough, fast enough, or skilled enough to play the game at this level.

[BAMF 4,427]

Tackle count

Syd : 24

Mel : 11

You mean the players who ALL played better the last few years than this year? Nup. I've blamed the players up until now, but this is mostly Neeld's fault.

We have gone too far backwards with pretty much the same list (maybe even slightly better, Magner, Clark) for it to be all the players fault.
