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"

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.

When are we coming onto the ground

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
