Ross Lyon v Mark Neeld

Featured Replies

Spot on, Robbie. The only type of people around at the moment as those who like to pee on us, and MFC supporters. In some cases, the two are one and the same.

Sadly this is true. What can we do about it? When your own supporters are one of your biggest problems?

 

Happy to come back and comment on this at the end of next year. Fair to say 2012 has been as hard an introduction to coaching for anyone in the last decade for Neeld. Neeld deserves an opportunity to turn the list over. We are all hearing there were systemic issues within the club. Were there those similar issues at freo?

Neeld has walked in to a club with the worst list in the competition and clowns like this jerk can't understand why we can't beat a finals contender.

No.

Ross Lyon was handed a plate full of french cheeses and italian cold cuts.

Mark Neeld was handed a plate full of wet dog [censored].

That's the difference.

Massive clean-out coming. Minimum 10 to be axed.

 

Sorry Robbie. How to make this clearer?? Neeld or Lyon? Support the players Robbie?? Read most of the Pro Neeld posts here and one consistency is every post bags out on the List.

Off to bed now early start tomorrow. Melbourne continue to play absolute rubbish brand of football. Consistently worse than I ever saw under Bailey, Daniher or even Balmy. The style has been rubbish since round one. Sheer crap. Whether it's Neeld or a shock factor after Jimmy Stynes passing all will be unveiled in the first half of next year. New players will come in and Old one's will leave. Coach will be the same. Seriously shattered at how a club with so much to play for this year hardly gave a yelp? Gary should have called Ross!! Good night to you!!

Look forward to 2013 to admitting I'm wrong but ATM am not convinced Neeld has it.

And what do you think Lyon would have done with this list; where do you think we would have finished if he was our coach?

If you want to live in the past get some videos of old Balme Daniher and Bailey games.

Ross Lyon thanks. I'm not saying Neeld won't get there, he may well do. But I've believed Lyon is a terrific coach for a long time. Terrible luck that he doesn't have a premiership to his name. Melbourne's failure to sound Lyon out last year is an indictment on us, or more to the point, our preparedness to contract out every major decision to Garry Lyon.

Here's hoping Neeld can really get things going in 2013. Clarkson and Hardwick had something to show in the second half of their first season. There's been precious little of that for Melbourne. I reckon GWS are better to watch than us right now. The coaching group, players and administrators better have one heck of a summer.

Look, this thread is ridiculous as its argument is fundamentally untrue. Melbourne did not fail to go after Lyon hard enough, they went bloody hard with a 5 year 5 million dollar contract. Melbourne was told he was staying at St Kilda while he pulled a shifty deal with Freo that not even his manager was aware of, there was no opportunity for counter offers, NO ONE KNEW THE FREO DEAL EXISTED UNTIL IT WAS DONE!!!!

There is so much wrong with our club right now, getting involved in this horse$#^* arguments about getting Lyon or Malthouse (who also turned down a similar deal when it was offered to him before Lyon because he wanted a year off coaching and as Collingwood would have sued!) lets talk about whats actually going wrong. What about Neeld's onfield strategy don't you like? We are about to see his list management strategy so there's very little to comment on there and how much do you actually know about what goes on at board level at our club and how we have turned $5 mil deficit into profit!!!!!!!! I see a lot of posturing from some of the most vocal critics, a whole bunch of revisionist coaching arguments that fly in the face of fact and very little discussion about what is actually going on.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
