Who recruited this guy?

What does he offer?

Seriously?

Looks like Tarzan. Plays like a deadset witches hat. He is useless.

    Typical MFC player. Highly rated at draft time, plays a ripping first game and leaves you thinking "we have a gem on our hands here". Proceeds to gradually turn to crap with every passing game since.

    My favourite play was when the ball was about to go out in the forward pocket, literally about to go over the line, and he's attempted the miraculous goal by sticking a boot onto it, only to succeed in kicking the ball into the third tier and turning over possession. Just unbelievably DUMB.

    Have to blame the coach and the selection commitee for picking someone who has showed nothing, ahead of guys like Terlich,Jetta and Kent.

    Again it boils down to the man in charge.

    If i was on the board i would bring him in ( Neeld) and give him a stern warning, there had better be some serious improvement, by mid season or else!

    They would have to cite two things , zero defensive pressure, and picking out of form players ahead of form players.

    I convinced Mrs Robbie to take up his sponsorship last week as he didn't have one; good thing Mrs Robbie doesn't know anything about football because she came to her first game today since the 200 GF and didn't know which one he was. This was despite me telling he at least ten times.

    I don't have the courage to tell her just how bad he was today.

    I was cut to shreds for calling this bloke a dud prior to his first game

    However after his first few games you have to ask

    Is it Him? Or is it the coach?

    I mean Frawley has gone from AA to spud

    Watts is played as a loose man in defence

    Clark returns to field clearly injured

    Who and what is actually being developed here?

    I like Neeld but I liked Bailey so I'm a poor judge

    We had 5 months to prepare for today. It's not good enough

    Coach is responsible. I'd say his ice is melting fast

    I agree. Neeld has to take responsibility for picking guys like Nicholson and Tapscott, who've shown nothing in pre-season, ahead of Terlich and Kent.

    Poor, poor decisions followed by a plethora of howlers in the coach's box on game day.

    Neeld was absolutely pansted by Hinkley.

    He's in trouble I reckon. Offers nothing. He's got 21 rounds to find his schtick, otherwise he's out the door. He has to present up the ground, take strong marks, kick goals, impose himself on the ground physically. I can't see it happening though.

    want to defend him

    cant defend any players after today

    go to casey tappy, play well, get recalled, and play hard for the ones...

    really was hoping to see him get a run through the midfield this year, would have liked to see Neeld chuck him in there when we were losing every centre clearance having rodan and byrnes in there, although he has no form to back it up, i just felt we needed a bigger body in there, someone to throw some weight around abit, someone to bump cornes and make him think about whether he wanted to spend the whole match tugging on jones jumper

    i had hopes for tappy as he had some mongrel and apparently could kick a football which is a rare talent at melbourne.my hopes are fading fast....

    Wasting our time here. If we had any balls should of called the name LUKE BALL at selection 17 in that draft.

    Absolutely right OMR. I know this is one of WYL's bugbears as well. Spineless that was.

    No, Nicholson does not deserve a mention here. He tried a lot harder than the majority of players, he took risks. Granted, some of those didnt pay off, but give the kid some credit, he cops far too much crap on this board.

    Tapscott on the other hand is probably the dumbest footballer I've ever seen. His only 'skill' is delivering cheap shots. Too concerned with trying to be a tough guy, rather than working on his football skills.

    Sh!t somebody mentioned Luke Ball. Now i am depressed.

    Where is Rhino? Who bashed me for weeks over that one??

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
