To those 9 people that voted against Neeld, really should watch Coaches office this week.

One of the questions by a fan is how come we seem to win 3 games this season when we won 8 games with our playing list last year? and apparently according to neeld our list is less experience than our list last season, please watch full interview http://www.melbourne...50/default.aspx

BE VERY CLEAR HERE!! READ THE TOPIC!! ITS CLEARLY ASKS IF YOU SUPPORT MARK TO REMAIN COACH IN 2013? MANY OF US DEMONLANDERS DID NOT VOTE SIMPLY BECAUSE THE QUESTION IS NOT WITHOUT MISCHIEF. MOST WANT MARK TO COACH UNTIL THE END OF HIS CONTRACT 2014 AND THE REMAINDER (VAST MAJORITY) DON'T CARE OR SEE A NEED FOR SUCH A POLL. THE MERE FACT THERE IS A POLL SUGGESTS NEELDS'S GRIP IS FRAGILE AND THIS SUGGESTION IS COMPLETE AND UTTER NONSENSE

Well, between RRs persistence and your persistence, it's not hard to tell who is having more success when taking a look at the count.

I have voted for the sake of voting, but i agree with that other bloke.

Waste of time, of course most want him to continue next year.

range rover posts some useless stuff huh.


Give him a chance with the players he has selected. He had to work with whatever he had this year. If next season turns to crap then it's his problem but let's not stat kicking him in the dick before he's even had a chance to put his plan into action .

Not sure who started this poll?

But the message is loud and clear.... Mark Neeld stays....

P.S. RR is a lively member of demonland...... I like his polls...... And would welcome him back.....

Wow... Worst poll ever.

If people are genuinely calling for the sack then we know who to ignore, but my impression is that most who are being labelled with that are either calling for more accountability of the coaching staff and/or questioning why the same posters saying "you don't know if he's bad or not, needs more time" are also saying "I have faith in Neeld".

It's a circular argument, and pretty obviously this poll was started and worded in such a way as for point scoring by certain posters.

Henceforth, I won't be voting in this thread, and I'm TOTALLY SICK of the same 4-5 posters over running every thread with their name calling and off topic posts.

STOP RUINING DEMONLAND.

I stopped reading at post no4.

Range Rover? I'll bet you drive a Vespa.

nah, he'd be a lycra larry

What a dumb thread.


I've read that thread and the one thing it doesn't address is just what a frigging cess pool would be left if we removed another coach and who his replacement would be, therefore to suggest Neeld be removed is a totally moronic suggestion. I despair for the capacity to think clearly of those who vote in favour of his removal.

A stupid and destructive thread

Not sure who started this poll?

But the message is loud and clear.... Mark Neeld stays....

P.S. RR is a lively member of demonland...... I like his polls...... And would welcome him back.....

I think Hulkamania started this poll.

(j/k Hulk)

The poll couldn't be any more simply worded.

Don't like the results Stu?

12 - 1 ... not looking good for the anti-Neeldists.

It's a very silly poll. Although I've found N to be quite unsatisfactory I certainly wouldn't want to see a change now. But if we are hopeless at the end of 2013 we must make a move because I'm aware of the sense of despair amongst many of the young (real) stars some of whom wil be out of contact and who would like to leave.

Poor Range Rover, pretty sure he created this thread to show his support for Neeld and prove the haters wrong... Oh well

I respect freedom of free speech.......but to have a vote on Neeld after 1 season???

We had a basket case list & shocking drafting....look at the delistings & draft to clera the decks a rebuild of the list.

Give Neeld & his team the time

Edited by dees64


What an uneccesary poll and topic. Obviously there are some Demonland members who read and listen to too much Damien Barrett. Mark Neeld was employed to do a job. And, cutting the fat and the could've should'ves from the list is part of it. Bringing in solid replacements is just as important.

To my mind the club has done a pretty reasonable job in that regard. Also don't be surprised if things don't go to plan...but at least we have a plan - now

Fact is we just experienced the worst season maybe ever in the history of the club. 1 win against a non-expansion club is an utter risgrace that only one-eyed Melbourne supporters could sugar coat or see any positives.

Neeld can talk the talk all he likes but another season like last and he will struggle to find a job as a VFL coach.

1953 was as bad.......and we played finals for the next decade!

Keep faith.

Good positive point Mono, on what is an otherwise poinless thread. Off course the jury is still out on Neeld but to even ponder axing him now is one of the sillier topics to come up on this site.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
