Traded/Sacked then thrived

Since Saturday most of us are over "all things footy" at least until next Saturday:) Life as a Melbourne Supporter.

Lots of fellow members have been calling for the scalps of practically the entire list plus the Coach.

IMO as a life long Demon that the Neeld appointment was the wrong choice but would sacking him help?

Given Neeld has entirely revamped the game plan and players are still in a period of adjustment would it be a mistake to CULL our youth as most seem to be advocating in a recent RR Topic. Wouldn't that mean the new Guys coming in will need another year to grasp the Neeld Way? The Devil you know argument?

OK...We have all sat back in our comfy seats in the Northern and said...ahhh why did we let him go? Yes?

In the last 25 years which Melbourne Players have been "let go" and thrived in another environment?

What players are Melbourne likely to trade or de-list that may thrive at another club?

    There's really less than 10 AFL players on the list at the moment and I doubt Neeld is letting them go anywhere but the gym.

    Compared to Buckley,Miller,Bruce or Mclean the ones that will go are second rate so I wouldnt worry about it too much.

    Players walking out might tell another story, but then Scully is hardly setting the world on fire either

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
