Hi. First post. I'm from Geelong and so have followed Neeld's career for a while. Melbourne supporter for 45 years. There was a moment after the drawn Grand Final when Neeld was the midfield coach (I

Robbie, while not in my 60's, I am not that far away. Like you, I have seen 50 years of re-build after so-called re-build, with some bright periods along the way, that have kept me coming back for mo

Wines is not a ready replacement for Moloney. Moloney could have still be with MFC and we possibly could have been a chance to win. I said last year in August that there was no evidence that this guy

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.

So, yet another player they could not develop!

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.

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?

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.

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
