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: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
