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.

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.

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?)

Posted

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.

Biggest load of BS I've EVER read here, and that's saying something.... Eff off troll.

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.

Can we sub off the whole team at half time

Posted

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

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.

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

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
