Massive dilemma

Mass exodus-Moloney, Jurrah, Green, Davey, Dunn, Gysberts and younger players Cook etc simply not achieving under Neeld.

Compounding this is the lack of any attraction at Melbourne ATM. Does any of the hot talents really want to come to Melbourne or does a Carlton under Malthouse or Freo under R. LYon seem a more attractive option?

A Coach with little charisma and a boring scripted game plan that is obvious to all.

Say what you will as the rounds tick by in 2013 the pressure will build on Neeld. IMO Neeld is a good coach but not of the standard to lead us out of this one.

Would not of been ideal but would of been better to give the job to Craig with Neeld as assistant. Obviously Lyon, Mattews, Sheedy or Malthouse is what the club needs.

 

honestly mate....just give it a rest....or start being a supporter. you choose

Mass exodus-Moloney, Jurrah, Green, Davey, Dunn, Gysberts and younger players Cook etc simply not achieving under Neeld.

For starters Davey, Dunn, Gysberts & Cook have not all left as yet. Davey will stay, as stated by Neeld yesterday on SEN. I'd say Dunn will also stay, no indication from the Club that he is in danger of being moved on.

That leaves Gysberts & Cook, who have not been mentioned formally by the Club as yet - but are both the topic of conversation on the rumour mill.

So your mass exodus theory is a little flawed at this stage (although it may well prove to be the case).

Gysberts, while showing potential, has not really proved anything at this stage and I wouldn't be heartbroken if he was moved on. I think he has alot of talent but needs to put on some serious size before he can mix it with the big boys on a consistent basis. As for Cook, I really don't think we're losing anything here (apart from wasting a #12 draft pick).
 

Can this thread be locked? There are already about a million threads about this

At this rate you should change your name to Ballantyne The Serial Pest! Please go away!!

Gysberts IMO has massive untapped potential.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

    Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

    For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
