Does this mean that when we bring in a new coach we will be rebuilding a rebuild of a rebuild....WTF

Can't see how Neeld can last much longer, but replacing coaches mid season will not fix a thing. Our pathetic situation is far more than just the coach. We'd kill the career of Roos, Clarkson or Woosha, the way we are ATM.

What if we bring in a new coach and start winning? whoever hired Neeld should go hide under a rock if that happens.

Sack Neeld. It might not really be his fault, but it might be, but who knows, who cares at least it's something.

Sack the coach and let the players play man on man footy, and tell them to just take the game on.

I'm new to this forum but I'm absolutely amazed that any supporter of our club could consider anything other than sacking Neeld this week. I'm sure he's a nice guy, I'm sure he's got a good football brain, but blind Freddie can see that even with those attributes his ability to guide and nurture this team of young players is sorely lacking.

I suspect that Neeld is just the pointy end of the problem though, I suspect that the entire administration is a hopeless rabble. Yes we have many of our best players injured. Yes they are a young squad, but playing the way they did today indicates a far deeper problem with the club's culture than inexperience and a few injured players.

If this club was a business turning over $40 mil, and skilled and talented employees were performing the way our players are, you'd sack the CEO and probably the operations manager. There's no leadership at board or operational level. If your workers don't want to turn up to work every day and underperform as a result, look to management for the answers.

Neeld has to go, probably McClardy as well, there's no option, absolutely none.

No he won't he will be on the tele as usual telling us it's not his fault. As I said elsewhere Lyon was a good footballer but has no idea about football.

Ive been against quick decisions because I dont think it achieves anything. But today was the straw which broke the camels back. Tough decisions need to be made. The players had no desire or passion and there are no excuses for not being ready to fire from first bounce. Peter Jackson is no fool and knows the decision on the coach is going to have to be made now!

And furthermore, I've been a loyal supporter of this club for 55 years, I've seen one flag when I was 12 years old. Most of you on this forum, loyal supporters all I presume, wouldn't have had that previlige. As a supporter group we are ultimately responsible for what's occurring right now with the Dees. We are critical but probably inactive as well. We all hear the jokes about Melbourne supporters, up the snow, range rovers etc, etc. there is of course an element of truth about that, we're only passionate when things are either good or bad, we care less at other times.

The membership and supporters need to address this, but not with anger, don't crucify Neeld or McClardy (hands up who wants either job), find other people to do their jobs yes, but thank them on the way out (the door).

If we want our club to succeed we need to forget the Stynes years, forget the Barrassi years, and look to the future with exceptional personell and a clear vision. Haven't had that for a long time.

Terry Wallace talked of the players smelling a dead duck coach, he felt that with the Tiges. Same thing here.

I can't honestly believe that after today we can find a single reason for keeping Neeld.

I was happy to sack him later in the year, but this team is now at breaking point. No good will come from keeping this coach for weeks on end with a death sentence shadowing his every move.

You're like a broken record WYL, your spelling is mediocre, I'm actually getting more optimistic the further we get into the season

It is only you and a few others on this Board that are wallowing, like I said wish I had a graphic of a person sitting at a keyboard with a rain cloud above their head, then you and your fellow wallowers could just post that and not the repetitive nonsense you keep posting......put yourself up for President like I said before, start a petition or shut up about Don McLardy, its boring

I assume you meant Watts about freezing, you judging him in comparison to your playing days?

I think it's safe to say that your first line sums up your knowledge of the game. Edited by Return to Glory

Sadly, its time to agree.

The experiment started last year. There has been nothing since that time that gives ANY indication that the experiment will succeed.

2 provisos:

  • what effect would sacking Neeld have on the players? They are at rock bottom now; just might be enough to finish them
  • what has been the effect of the never-ending dramas on the individuals at the club. As Jackson said, it might be deep

ED. Is there a crisis meeting at the club tonight? If not, there should be. As Jackson said: supporters want to know what the hell is going on

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
