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.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
