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.

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).

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

Gysberts IMO has massive untapped potential.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
