How can one take a list with so much (perceived) talent, and just absolutely positively f*** it all up so badly?? It's criminal what these coaches have done to this team - I can't name one player whose game has gone to a new level under Neeld, in fact absolutely everyone on our list has gone undoubtedly backwards.

Neeld walked in like a white knight saying 'I will coach the hardest team to play against in the comp', G Lyon and co got sucked in, creamed themselves and have apparently appointed the wrong bloke.

This team is a disgrace.

Neeld was highly respected and sought after in the AFL prior to his appointment as our coach.

We need a new midfield. Even sure stars like Trengove are now performing poorly. Until we change the personnel through the middle we will not win a game. This is so unbelievably frustrating to watch. I can't remember us being worse than this and it's killing me

Do we need to hire another person on our talent scouting/recruitment team this year?

We could be taking A LOT of players in this draft... and we NEED to get it right...

Wow. 8 MFC players outmarked on the goal line by O'Keefe, who then kicks the goal as the rest stand and watch from 1 foot away.

Just when you think it can't get any worse...

I'm not sure what the fallout of this will be. I cannot remember a worse performance. This reminds me of 186. Arguably worse, because at least Geelong are a good side.

Stay in Toronto GTG . Don't hurry back soon . You're safe over there .

Us Melbournians on the other hand are in for a torrid time . Oh , the humanity !

Unfortunately I'll be in Melbourne and on hand for the next three games. Uh oh.

We have our share of players with poor disposals in our back line in recent years Grimes, Garland, Bartram and co but we have a new winner by far McDonald - he I'd deplorable

Yep O'Keefe marking uncontested in goal square?

Clearly thats Neelds fault right? Players wouldn't know they should cover players in their goal square would they. They need to be taught that.

It really does sum up this rubbish about blaming the coach. The players cannot and do not do the basic defensive things that should be natural.

Well done Bailey on the attack mentality you have built in.

No doubt. But I find it incredibly difficult to believe that we would be playing so badly under Watters or Sanderson or McCartney. I can't imagine how Neeld sold himself to become so highly regarded.

As I have said several time. CC and CS must be sacked. They are the cause of our heatless football. Neeld got sold down the river.

It's pretty obvious guys...they aren't playing for the coach at all.

Must be the most uninspiring coach ever appointed.

Eff off. They have NOTHING to do with onfield performances, and all you people going on about them need to pull your heads in.

What? CC and CS are playing the game are they? Ridiculous post. Judge them on their jobs, not on what our football team displays on the field.

Pendlebury alone last night probably racked uppre posessions and a higher score then the whole mfc tonight

Yeah cos that happened all the time under Bailey..... Neeld has blame in this, he's not the only one, but if you're still sticking up for him when we are 0-9, you're blind.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
