Square Peg, Round Hole - Exactly why we need Neeld!!!!

Featured Replies

You really think Sanderson would have got wins this year with this unfit list??

I am not having a go at Sanderson but i don't think it would make a difference.

We need to trade big time at years end.

I am more worried about Trengove than Neeld.

Yes.

'Trading big time' is not on for any team - if your players are good you don't trade them - if they are bad you can't trade them - if you trade picks for supposedly good players, you have to wonder why the other team wants to let the players go for a gamble of a pick. At best you might exchange one or two players/picks. That's why getting players to suit Neeld's game plan doesn't work - it's also why coaches have to get the best from whatever playing list they have. Reality!

Let Trengove play natural footy - who's Neeld?

I just cannot agree with this.

If our list was fit (AFL standard) fit the MFC would have won today. The effort was there.

That is not the fault of Neeld. If in 12 months the list is still under performing then we have a problem with a coach.

But right now it is the list and fitness.

P. S. Ross Lyon did well today

You did not address the 'trading big time' issue wyl, but I am happy to 'agree to disagree' on Neeld.

The MFC will be trading big time at seasons end. 7-8 players is what i heard whispered.

That is all i know. The club's survival is paramount in the next 2-3 trade periods, make no mistake Hardnut.

7-8 players would not be unusual, especially in a super-draft, but I hope MFC show more nous than usual as the 'trading' will most likely involve our picks for other club's players, and we don't have a good record of getting value for pick! Personally, I would rather we did our homework and used our picks wisely, before taking someone else's cast-offs!

No arguement there. The only way this club will survive is through aggressive trading.

The crowds will not pay to watch rubbish.

I had my first doubts about Neeld tonight. Often the only time we made dangerous forward 50 attacks was when we were FORCED to use the corridor because Carlton were double teaming our pockets presuming we would come in along the boundry. SDecondly defensive gameplan didnt really work in the last quarter...

Coaches shouldn't need to get players that can 'adapt to their game plan' or even like the game plan. Players are like cattle they are purchased and sold. If you can't, or won't adapt, you know where the door is.... Moloney? Sylvia????

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
