Grand New Flag

Recommended Posts

God i hope the paul roos rumour has some truth to it right about now!

AFL intervention might be our best chance of surviving.

I've stuck with Neeld and trusted him for the last couple years, but I'll be amazed if he survives the aftermath of this (presuming we continue playing like this)

This has been enough to change my stance. Neeld has to go.

Jackson's first move will be to get an experienced head of the FD, a Balme type but who is available??? and then address the coach. Well that was before 4.40pm today, he may not have a choice now.

I'll accept a loss when I know the team isn't good enough

But this result has nothing to do with that - Can't support this effort level. Lack of tackling, inability to use team mates, lack of intensity no accountability and not turning up from qtr 1 are in-excusable

I've been against emotional rash decisions but this is crap, it's f'ing Gold coast and they can't lay a tackle or hit a target

Enough is enough - whatever the result RIP MFC

Jack what do you consider to be Neeld's three best achievements?

Clark

Hogan

Viney

Three decisions you could argue would have been made under any coach, especially Hogan and most especially Viney.

I can list 49 bad decisions from Neeld on the other hand. Starting with our trading and recruiting this off season.

Boomer Harvey made the point - every player is different, and the coach has to deal with each one as an individual; people skills, Boomer stressed. Surely we've now learned that this must be part of the discussion, whenever we next interview for a coach.

New coach probably comes in with a priority pick plus jesse hogan plus a reasonable list and another draft pick if jack watts is traded, that's something at least

FFS, this is the worst coaching performance I have ever seen. The players are playing with no spirit, no confidence, and breathtaking incompetence.

Please for the sake of our club, cut out the cancer, save our club, get rid of this hopelessly under qualified coach.

I demand the board dump him forthwith,

Clearly when people said he had lost the players it was an accurate assessment. They just arent trying. Either that or our list is much worse than I could imagine. Either way you could argue that both would be at least partially Neeld's fault.

I've been in the 'give it time' camp, but I think the bell has been well and truly rung. Sure, other teams have been beaten by GC, but not smashed in every area of the game.

Jack Watts will not be traded, he's a required player

We could lose this by 100 points if we aren't careful, i actually can't see any excuse they could possibly give to keep Neeld on after this, and i have supported him in the past.

Supporters deserve better than this disaster of a team.

well done jack viney though, just hope he isn't made captain during the week.

Wherenhas our flair gone. We have hardley any player playing with natural instincts. I think Neeld has over coached these guys and they are too scared of doing whats natural

    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
