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.

    Can this idiot commentator please get Bartram's name right at least once... It's not Boltrom

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
