Rock Bottom.

They've all got to go.

Neeld's pre-match address was mind-bogglingly inept. Poor bloke's lost the dressing room. Got no idea.

McLardy, Schwab ... on yer bikes. Resign now for the good of the club.

Or we go the way of Fitzroy.

The AFL will step in at the end of the year and award us a priority pick and the ridiculous irony of the situation will be lost on no one.

Don't just stop at Neeld fellas. The issues run far, far deeper than that.

What's your agenda RR? You trying to kill the club? Would you find that satisfying in some demented way? Or are you just trying to be the 'know all' on the site again ... Cop a tip - it's not actu

whats the story with that pre-game address? Whose idea was it? It was almost like it was shown exclusively so that everyone can witness for themselves that Neeld has no idea... even the fact he knew he was on camera didn't fire him up. Call me a conspiracy nut, but somebody arranged for that to happen in order to sign Neeld's marching orders

I noticed that Mitch put his head in his hands I think Neeld is losing him as well.

My U17 coach could pump out a better speech than that, the guys a joke, DELIST.

I'd be more worried about the gameplan then a brave heart style speech. This isn't local footy. A well drilled and executed gameplan will always beat chest thumping rhetoric.

But it wasn't even chest thumping. It was [censored] weak cliches. Neeld is an obvious failure - poor appointment - he has to go!!

On game plan I agree. A pre match speech means nothing to me.

He himself must surely be questioning whether he's the right man to take the club forward. On no level is this defendable. If he can't lift the team for their customary bounce back after a flogging, he's done.

That was perhaps the most uninspiring piece of drivel I have ever seen and has definitely sealed Neeld's fate as a coach at AFL level. He can't inspire the players. Goodbye.

I thought that as well. He has lost the group. Every team has gone past us. I can see us winning one or 2 games for the year. I'm guessing Neeldy will fall on his sword by mid year.

He should fall on his sword now. I'm finished with this [censored].

Dunno about mid year. Would like to see it happen before then.

I would like to know how deep. I really doubt we can recover from this. You know the the permanent rebuild. I've supported Melbourne for over 50 years - I think i'm finally done.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
