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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
