Never heard of him!

This must be why people on here think we are better than we are: they don't take an interest in the competition in general and there is no point of reference...

lol

wow

He was offered 2 mil over 4 years?

Thank god Neeld is gone he was going to be the end of the MFC

what a clown

It's funny how neeld is responsible for all our downfalls and our bad recruiting, yet he doesn't get the thanks for Kent, hogan, toump, viney, jones or terlich.

Not sticking up for him, his record speaks for itself. However I still find the double standards!

Bingo!

Worst issue with being a basket case for 8 years- attracting players from other clubs during draft/trading. Have to pump their tyres up with more money than they are worth.

Salary cap space is the one thing we have plenty of. We only have so many picks and players we can trade.

I'm not saying mackay is/was the right target but I couldn't care less how much we offer players to bring them to Melbourne if they are going to play 20 games for us.*

As far as rumors go, those players are all Viney picks.

Todd Viney went up and watched Kent play and scouted him from WA.

Being an SA bloke, it's fairly reasonable to assume that Viney had his eye on Clisby and Terlich.

Neeld was too busy coaching to scout ANY of those blokes.

Players we know for certain that Neeld did choose were Rodan, Pederson and Brynes.

They are all not up to standard.

Mark Neeld just simply wasn't up to it and in many facets of the game.

Not disagreeing he wasn't up to it, that's been proven.

What my point is, is how people like to blame neeld for our recruits like Rodan, pederson etc, yet he isn't given any credit for giving the ok to net hogan and Dawes with the tradings, he isn't afforded any credit for delisting/trading 14 players who had been held on to for too long and make way for Kent, jones and clisby etc to come to the club.

I'm no neeld apologist, but to think he came in with the intention to destroy our club and make us so uncompetitive is a quite appalling. I hope he is remembered at assembling a squad that went on to be fiercely competitive in 2014 and beyond.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    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
