Ask Neeld a question

Featured Replies

 

Why did you make 2 inexperienced footballers captain and and p1ssing off Frawley,Rivers,Moloney in the process causing dissent in the team.

Why did you think replacing Moloney with Rodan and Martin with Pederson was a good idea-i'd take those 2 back in a heartbeat.

Why do you persist with a useless zone defence when our players don't buy it,we stand so far off our opponents that we can't even tackle them resulting in 54 and 35 tackles in 2 games,there is no pressure on the opposition ball carrier resulting in an avalanche of goals.

After your next 2 games of coaching,what are your plans for the rest of the year?

GWS will beat us,those kids are skilful enough to hit targets under no pressure and Cameron/Patton will kick 12

The two top points Jack i think answer each other - on field and off field leadership has been very poor from our 'Senior' group (rightly or wrongly from whats happened in the past) And I feel Pederson and blokes like that have been brought in to fill the massive gap.

Has it worked - no, not yet.

And Rives choose to leave, so that leads to the question - why are these pi$$ed off senior players still at the club? Why do they feel they can take the pay check but not put in on field? Why do you get the choice to disagree with the coach?

The rest of your post i agree with

For me i don't care who is right or wrong from 2009 to now - these blokes represent our club on and off the field and from 2009 to now those leaders you mentioned have not done their jobs - Frawley gets a honourable mention as not having a lot of support for a young bloke

How long until us Melbourne Football Club supporters can hold our head's high and say with confidence (without smart arse comments) that we follow the Demons??

 

Do you read Demonland?

if that is a question to I - I do not read a lot of Demonland no

Do enjoy the occasional debte :)

And bloody confused why such poor preformances are happening on field - if anyone thinks its and easy answer they are kidding themselves

2 coaches in 3 years can't get the required output form this group. Do we think a new coach is giong to make this all go away?

Do you read Demonland?

I do realise a lot of this thread is to make fun of our situation - but it is still an interesting read

Probalby a poor thread for my contributions but it's too hard in 30 mins at lunch and in the morning to catch up with every discussion :)

I agree UH I keep saying the same thing.

We have a poor list there are about a dozen out of 40 that are AFL standard.

You cannot pull up your socks if you don't have any on.

IMO it is that simple.

Should we be worried that you didn't see this coming?

I would like to know from you Waltham and Watts jurrah Dunn why you think change wasn't needed or what changes should have been made?

Change was absolutely needed, however there are many ways to achieve it and I have personally witnessed a number of organisations have the right ideas, but jump in too quickly to achieve it. I would think the question is worth asking!

 

Does this suit make me look fat???

Do you read Demonland?

I understand the context of theat question haha sorry mate

Maybe Neeld should haha :)

Tough times at Deeland

I have a few more mate but happy to be cast in the same group as your Dad

Isn't it time we stopped tanking?


It is obvious to all that our mid-field has been the biggest issue. Simply we have the worst in the league with only GWS in the same category.

This being the case why has MFC trading concentrated on KPP? In the last 2 years 5 KPP have been recruited. I would suggest that Clark, Dawes were worth recruiting and have plugged a hole but at least 2 or the other 3 should have been midfielders. If you struggle to win stoppages you will struggle. I believe this is our primary problem.

Why do you think so many players have gone backwards under your time as senior coach?

If one train leaves the station travelling west at 30kmh at 6pm, and another leaves the station on a parallel track travelling west at 50kmh at 6.30pm, when will they meet?

Around 7:15pm or 37.5km west of the station.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • VOTES: Richmond

    Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
