i heard a rumor on the weekend from a SA native. it was suggested that when neeld was offered the Melbourne job he called Steve Trigg at Adelaide to say that he had an offer, but he wanted to coach Adelaide and wanted to see where they were at. Trigg said that he sould accept the melbourne offer.

For my part, i really like neeld and glad we ahve him so i am not having a go at the bloke. I also understand why he would do that. Adelaide have a far superior list which is obvious so far this season.

I just thought it was interesting and thought that at the next members forum they put together i thought someone could put it too him.

 

Do you for one moment think Neeld hasnt given 100% effort and committment since becoming a D ??

this is not only old news... its just muck raking...give it a rest

And I take it you deliberately left out the " U " not wanting to take responsibility for raising this rubbish ?

if you read my post fully you will see that i am 100% behind neeld. the member forums seem to have been focused upon the process we went through to get him and so i see this as relevant.

i can understand that some may see this as muckraking but that not my intention. As i member i think i am entitled to ask the question.

if the story is true, then he saw our list as pretty poor. what i know want to know is what they intend to do about it.

Once again, i am really happy we have neeld.
 

I heard a rumour from a VIC native re: Sanderson received an offer from Adelaide, but wanted to coach Melbourne because he thought highly of its list. Schwab suggested he take the offer.

Or did I dream it up, my memory is hazy, but it was a VIC native....

I don't understand your point. Why would you bring this up at a member's forum? What would be the point or the relevance?

What if he did think our list was poor? It is poor. I think it's poor. Most posters here think it's poor. I's the worst in the comp. Accept it.

Of course he is going to change it. At least as much as one can in a realistic fashion. And I'm sure he wouldn't want to advertise in advance how he was going to do it.

Another contender for dumbass thread of the year..

The rumoUr as supposed is very old news. ..Like...from last year.

Yep as a member you can ask what you like.... Go ask him yoUrself....After all yourre taking responsibility having brought up this crap.

but this topic is seen as offensive.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
