Not sure that is still true. I get the impression Col was buying into the Neeld way as the season progressed. A big pre-season for Col, and if he can remain injury free, and I reckon 2013 just may be the year he finally takes the game by the scruff of the neck and dominates in the way we have hoped for so long.

We can but hope! (I have to admit to having the same hopes for Trav year after year! Can Col succeed where Trav failed?)

For how many years have we been hearing this about good old Coiln "Gee he got great potential" Silvia Its time he showed us wha he can do for 4 quarters and for a whole season

I think he is lucky not too have been traded He is part of a broken previous cuture and i hope he realises that and makes the changes necessary

    In total agreement with OP. I have been listening to a lot of talkback and hearing frustrated supporters complaining that we have stuffed the club ie getting rid of McDonald and etc. what they fail to forget is that that was a different admin. The previous team recruited very speculative players and moved on club champions. What this group is trying to do is right the wrongs. They can't go back and change the past but they can move forward and try and fix it. Time will tell but I like that they are trying

    I accept that Mark Neeld has a plan and he has started to execute it.

    We can cheer or we can complain.....but only time will tell.

    Do you think MN owes the members an explanation or a reason to why he moved all these players on today at a "heavily discounted" price?

    You'd be kidding Mr 8 posts. Try market price. That's what we got.

    Don't know there were queues of clubs waiting outside the door of a club that has had the worst year since Fitzroy of 86 (excluding the expansion teams) looking for players that could't even get a regular game. Not sure what you're smoking there buddy.

    How do you delist contracted players without paying them out? Answer is trade them for whatever you can get.

    Coming up..a cull of the OOC group.

    You can't. Dogs have delisted Sherman with one year to go.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
