Hey you might be right, neither of them got a touch that day..... Idiot.

CC has done a massive amount for this club, but he's not a coach or player so to blame admin for our onfield problems is just plain stupid.

He poisoned all the players minds and done too much meddling where he doesn't belong. They won't play for the club while he remains. He has well and truly F%#£€¥ this club.

Now do you believe that it's the recruiting and nothing else; we have too many players that are not up to AFL standard including our B&F winner from last year (good luck trying to find someone prepared to employ you) and our great hope Sylvia.

Nope. I still firmly believe we suck because these players, the majority of whom were drafted either pre, or during, Bailey's time, were mangled by Bailey and his team, and they're not really being helped by Neeld.

Yes, we made bad decisions at times. But ultimately, most of the picks we made were backed by the opinion of the industry at the time, and that, not future performance, is the fairest way to judge drafting.

Don't insult blind people by calling me blind.

So you are comfortable that Neeld needs to teach the players how to cover a player in the goal square?

Yes i did see this under Bailey all the time. Name a game..west coast, geelong, hawthorn you name it we have done it v all of them under bailey.

no, no, you're right, we'll be 0-11, may not win a game all year, despite having a better list than last year, oh and we were better when we were tanking... Neeld must be an awesome coach and it's not his fault at all..... (catch that sarcasm?)

Isolating one incident does not get Neeld off the hook.

Yes, quite clearly, our players are inept, and their ability on game day to play football is non-existent. That can't all be Neeld's fault: he obviously wasn't here whilst Bailey mangled their talent.

But the coach absolutely has to be responsible for team performances, including effort/intensity. He just has to be. And since that's lacking, I'm not happy with Neeld. I'm far less happy with the players, of course, but Neeld has to wear some of the blame.

These players are a disgrace. Almost every one of the 22 of them is gutless.

I agree with you. My point was more calling for Neelds sacking and blaming it all on him really doesn't make sense when our players aren't following basic rules you would expect.

I'm addition I'm sick to death of people recalling the 'good ole' bailey days. Really we have been this bad for a long time. Same players same results.

There's a difference between saying they were the "good ole days" and saying we were better (or not as bad might be more appropriate) under Bailey, who incidentally was fired after a performance like todays.

Nor am I.

Simple......we are not good enough.

Just a team of plodders,second raters, and slow in body and mind.

I think it's now time to draw a line in the sand and stop playing guys like Maloney,Sylvia,Davey etc for the rest of the season.

Start playing the kids.

Davis,tynan,Taggert, couch,etc.

I'm so serious about this it's not funny.

We need to shake this place to its core.

Agree, not point keeping playing the old dead wood, the untried kids could hardly do worse, and get some experience in them for next year. and who knows, one or two of them may be good, and give us something to watch which is actually enjoyable

At least there's still The Robbo Show. It's the only thing I've got left to look forward to each week.

Demand 100%. Demand every chase. Demand every tackle. Demand every contest.

Any less and you're in line to be dropped and someone else comes in. Screw consistency in the side.

Can't drop 22 players every week.... Can we?

I agree - start playing the kids. I am feeling so despondent with today's performance.

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.

Agree, that sums it up without all the hysteria. We turn it over more than any other side I can recall.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
