Grand New Flag

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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
