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!

Every Melbourne game consists of a Howe screamer, a Blease goal on an acute angle, and a bunch of shite football in between.

Yes. I really think we can and it's possibly not as far away as you might think and I wouldn't take too much notice of what's happening this year as the new football regime takes stock of what we have

This is by far the hardest game I've had to watch for a mighty long time. My brain is just hurting so badly. Thank God there is nothing riding on this. Especially when we have no dignity remaining a

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?

Clark wouldn't have made any difference?!

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

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 !!!

This same crap list won 8 games last year.

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.

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

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.

Easily the worst viewing game of the year.

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?

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
