I have heard from a Hawk supporter that Paul Roos will coach them next year.

This leaves Clarko available? What do you think?

    I think to give Neeld the flick after two seasons would be more detrimental to the club than good. The responsibility is with the players right now, not the coach.

    That decision can be made at the end of the year.

    I am not willing to rule anything out - other than everyone keeps their jobs until the end of this year and then we look at our options.

    All of them.

    A coach needs a pre-season. No point booting Neeld out mid-season.

    Continuity, consistency and rhythm are too important, not just for this season, but for the coming seasons as well.

    You may be surprised where we end up at the end of the season

    Naturally, to sack anyone in the middle of the year will just create another disastrous season.

    The way I see it is Neeld is a tough task master and seems very motivated. With Bailey it seems the players had the complete opposite environment so with most bases covered in the coaching spectrum, it is the players that are responsible in my eyes. It was still the same blokes too, recruited and nurtured in the Bailey era which were letting the side down (aside from say Gillies/Pedersen who can be forgiven in their very first game for the club for not dominating).

    Make Clarkson an offer he cant refuse'

    Make him the highest paid coach in the AFL and give him a 7 year deal

    We need a proven coach, a great coach, and this man won a premiership just 4 years ago afor christs sake

    THere no time for the MFC to stuff around any more.

    If we dont land Clarkson or Roos the MFC will not exist in 5 years

    I want the players to be motivated - not just the coach. That is his primary function to provide the players with the tools to go out and win games - fitness, game plan and MOTIVATION. The last motivator we had was Swooper Northey!

    You guys missed the topic - Clarkson available for 2014 - no mention of sacking coaches mid year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
