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.

PREVIEW: St. Kilda

When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round
NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
