Worst coach in the history of the game.

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

AFL intervention might be our best chance of surviving.
 

Looks like he is totally unable to do anything to stem the flow.

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.
 

Hard to see how Neeld can survive if this match (it is half time) continues apace.

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.

Practising hand balling at half time on the oval. Amateur hour.

That is just embarrassing.

Time to bring in a seasoned coach.

 

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

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
