Time to go Mark Neeld

Featured Replies

 

I reckon they should test the waters for a possible trade...

So, yet another player they could not develop!

Neeld had my support up until the Gold Coast game. I am so annoyed with his style now he just infuriates me every time I see him.

I have had enough of his pre/post game platitudes and sick of the same spin every week.

I would be absolutely gob smacked if he got this side to be competitive but if he proves me wrong then I will be the first to say sorry.

It is just such a massive gamble for the club to continue with him in 2014. The club including Peter Jackson will look like first class fools if we are getting flogged in the first 5 games in 2014 and then are forced to move on Neeld. Massive gamble!

He has lost me that's for sure.

Maybe.

I think the kid was drafted at a bad time for the club. Supporters were waiting for a messiah, a hero, an icon.

JW was hung out to dry.

I hope he smashes it against Collingwood on Liz's birthday.

I hope our hero will be Peter Jackson. On field keep an eye on Jesse Hogan for future hero status.

I think that the GCS are showing that they could possibly make the eight this year.

Gamble for 2014? Maybe. Let's see what the remainder of 2013 looks like first.

Does Mark strike any one else as just a really ordinary sort of bloke?

No, he does not.

The Yarra, huh?

I know the feeling and can feel your pain.

I feel punch drunk from footy at the moment. On Monday it will be 8 days since our last game. Enough time for the worm of hope to wend its way into my brain. Maybe we will fight and scrap and fight some more. Maybe we will win. Please bring on Tuesday for the more comforting salve of reality to be applied.

Sorry to say the MFC has as much chance of winning on Monday as it has of winning the 2013 Grand Final.

But we can dream.

I take it that means you won't be logging on to Demonland that day? ;-)

Regardless of the dubious quality of coaching we have, our attitude has to be 'we can win' tomorrow - even if those at the top can't provide a winning culture by example, those at the 'coalface' have to take a stand and draw that proverbial 'line in the sand'.

BTW, anyone notice how the 'Malthouse' game plan failed yet again on Friday night - even with a group of players who are good around stoppages, it still didn't work against a team who play more positive football - yes, I agree it was close but.....

Watching MN's presser tonight - the guy cannot be serious with a comment about expensive specialists - does he know the impression he gives with such comments?

expensive specialists? what did he mean

Untill Watts learns to love physical contact he wont develop to the next level.

Wth the ball in his hands he is a great player.

Neeld should be charged for fraud. He is a borderline double-agent.

If he ain't sacked this week, I will give up.

expensive specialists? what did he mean

He was referring to Clark's medical treatment - I have no idea what he really meant, which is why I raise the issue of his comment.

Another humiliating lose and another day this once great club comes closer to irrelavancy.

Please do us all a favour and remove this inept coach tonight.


Neeld has to go this week

Lowest crowd at a QB in 14 years

Fans have lost interest and rightfully so

I simply can't understand how anyone can continue to support Neeld. I have read the pro view..... to me the arguments make no sense.

We were again horribly out coached today. What I hated most was the change in game plan after Dawes went off. We went mega defensive in an attempt to restrict the losing margin (again to no avail), once again playing several players behind the ball. This..... the super flood, played under Neeld gives us no chance of being able to kick a winning score..... yet this was the tactic................. again!!!!!!!

THIS IS NO WAY TO DEVELOP A TEAM.

NO WAY TO BUILD CONFIDENCE!

I am sure you all noted the drop of the head once the coach effectively raised the white flag.

I have had enough of this! I hate going to games that the coach effectively gives up prior to half time. If we are to go down, lets go down fighting playing a game style that has the chance of putting some score board pressure on.

There is no upside to keeping Neeld.

AGREE

Crowds at the last three QB is 75k, 60k and today 50k

Says it all and crowds will continue to decrease but hey why get rid of Neeld.

The Ox is right he needs to go NOW

I think you need to add another dimension to your comments GNF - the weak decisions (or non-decisions) made by the Board mean they must go also.

I hate seeing coaches sacked as it means acknowledging that the club has stuffed up and a lot of wasted cash and more importantly wasted time.

Unfortuantely with MN I think we are past the point of no return. We must move on.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
