Mark Neeld has a shocking football list. Worst by a country mile in the league.

Colin Garland epitomises the weekly brain fades that is this list. This football team is not worthy of watching at AFL level.

10 years behind quality of top 4 teams.

Huh! Did I hear soft hand clapping by the players apologists?

That certainly wasn't the dominant opinion before Neeld arrived!

TV just went off before I kIck it in. Just terrible. 6 [censored] years in a row with not much hope of Improvement any time soon. Bring on cricket season.

Blease and Green both spray shots at goal .FFS

Tanking. Nothing surer.

He may have but everyone at the club needs to accept responsibility for where we are.

This same crap list won 8 games last year.

They wouldn't have made any difference.

Clark wouldn't have made any difference?!

What might've happened with all these crazy bombs forward if Clark had been down there?

Hasn't touched the ball. Great sub.............Jeeeezzzuuusssss

It's not good enough I agree but it's the perfect game for fresh legs and he puts them in the back pocket. Put the kid in the middle and force him to outrun them. Just a stupid waste of the sub.

Yeah I do. I expect players earning 100,000's of $$ per year to be able to execute a kick and a handball. Losing players doesn't excuse skills.

Do we practise skills at training or do we just run for endurance fitness? Are players allowed to practise kicking for goal or do the fitness staff freak that they might injure themselves?

Easily the worst viewing game of the year.

How many f&$@ing coaches do we have? Can't even stem the flow against this rabble.

shh !!!! People dont want reality....they just want to wallow in our ineptness. Its what were used to.

Jamar and Clark ..of course theyd have made a difference. Even a half way fit Jurrah would have been happily at home in this.

We're playing without a lot of our 1st 22 players. Weve hardly got a decent structure to speak of. We've been playing like balcmange all year.

So this game is a shock ??

Hardly

Bring on the draft and FA....quickly !!!

Exactly. Minus Clark.

Now, I'm not saying Bailey was the right coach, I'm not saying we would have won a flag under him. In fact, it wasn't feasible to keep him after 186.

But FFS, what is this rubbish? Worse lists than ours have achieved more this year. We have been utterly destroyed by teams who aren't and shouldn't be ahead of us.

I simply refuse to believe that we could continue to go backwards with a list that is no different to last year's. Yes we've had injuries and yes we've had off field issues, but nothing excuses the complete incompetency we've witnessed again and again this year.

At what point do we question what the hell this game plan is? Why players have gone backwards? When does Neeld take some sort of accountability?

I'm tired of feeling so goddamn hopeless.

Posted

Baileys time at the club but struggling to be convinced by Neeld at this stage. So many players seem to have been told about what they do poorly that they've forgotten what they do well.

Clark makes us look better than we are because he keeps two defenders busy and beats them sometimes

Posted

I'd be genuinely interested in knowing what Neeld was thinking with our forward setup tonight.

Pathetic excuse of a team. I'm done for this season, [censored] it.

Posted

Like I said wouldn't have made any difference, unless you are watching a different game to me. We couldn't hit a target if there was $1m in it.

Couldnt agree more. Cant remember the last time we had so many kicks smothered and out on the #$%&*%# full.

Our skills are the worst in the AFL.]

How long does a rebuild take?

Same crap I heard 5 years ago.

Good to see how teams really struggle with losing their sub early.

We've won 1 game by 1 point this year (I don't count the GWS game because it's not a contest). Under Bailey we never lost to Port outside of Adelaide. Enough said.

Good point! I agree, ...watched some reruns from 2 years ago & basically the same players seemed faster, better & it was better to watch.

Reality?

Reality is we are shite and the poof is in the pudding, that's why we're third last.

It never ceases to amaze me how we say, oh! if only this or that player were in we'd be better, then that player gets a game and we say, why did we play him how does he get a game?

We don't have a best 22 we only have the best available of the very ordinary list we have.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
