What rock did you crawl out from? Can you read? The experts almost always said Neeld was a very good coach-in-waiting before his appointment. Anyone who has been coached by him or who supervised his coaching has praised him. Do you not remember that we threw the bank at Clarkson and he wouldn't budge. Roos virtually laughed at us, and has been a strong MFC critic for a long time. And as for Mark Harvey, bwahahaha! The guy can barely make a 3 word sentence.

One thing I will agree with you is that you definitely are wrong.

Typical response around here to turn things into a personal attack and bung on about other posters being wrong.

I encourage constructive conversation, one thing thing entire board needs to get away from - is attacking other posters and belittling them.

Very disapointed.

Remnds me of the science teachers we kept getting rid of in grade 9. It was a challenge to see how quickly we could get them to take off on stress leave. 1-2 months was the norm.

If Neeld sticks fat than we might be alright, and it's about all we can hope for at this point.

Isn't Kevin Sheedy out of a job at the end of the year????? While you are all still laughing just remember Junior Mac has been his assistant for 2 years now and may well want to return to MFC in a coaching capacity

when will you all learn?

we'll just go thru coach, after coach, after coach, til finally we return to pounds & shillings & pence.

It Is Not The Coach....

It IS the Culture.

We lost it in the mid sixties.

got some back from Barassi/Jordan enjoyed that for 6 or so years until those players were finishing....

and then it started to wane again.

Its poor admin & coaching that has been a constant throughout for nearly 20 Years.

we are on the right track, but we are short of leaving the tunnel.

I remember in 1981 we got the best Coach in the Country, our own Ron Barassi back and we won the spoon. After 5 years as Coach we were still crap.

I will say this for the last time, players make the Coach. Get a decent list and we will improve even if Julia Gillard coached us. At the moment we have the worst list in the AFL.

Pray to God that the new recruiting manager is good at his job, because the last one ( BP ) was hopeless.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
