This bloke was appointed because his reputation was solid at Collingwood. Somehow for reasons we are not privy to it has all come apart for him.

Surely he is better than this....surely!! We have to give this man time and show some faith.

    But if you ain't got the cattle, you ain't got the cattle.

    And if you've got the 18th ranked midfield, you're prone to being ranked really low for i50's and ranked really high for defensive i50 entries.

    For Neeld's sake he needs the midfield to generate into something effective. And with Jones, Jamar, McKenzie (inj- coming back), a splattering of first year players in Viney, Toumpas, and some mature players who may be inconsistent - Sylvia, Bail, Jones......plus our skippers...

    It really is an underwhelming midfield lacking quality and any cohesion at present.

    I hope for his sake he starts winning, but the players will decide his fate in the coming weeks.

    That is the sad truth

    IMO we have the worst list including the newbys

    I doubt JC could turn them into a side above fourth last.

    In the same breath it is hard to believe that this list is 19 goals worse than Port.

    In the first two Games we have not been AFL standard.

    Is the list that bad?

    I don't know but another similar result on Saturday and I will say yes

    be positive. looking for 2nd win against brizzy. and then things will seem better for all of us

    he has weeks...

    i'm a firm believer that we need to give Neeldy a good 5 year crack at it.

    He has been handed a big ol' mess. Give him longer than 2 years, please.

    Sadly I think you are correct.

    NO AFL team could keep their coach if he continued to coach and get results like the last two weeks.

    On field currently we are a shambles.

    That cannot continue for months, a few weeks pehaps but not months.

    Lets not forget he has taken an average side to a poor side to one that is currently not even worthy of being in the competition.

    God I hope they show some fight this weekend

    So you have forfeited this week or next week?

    You are supposing a clataclysm occurs against GWS.

    I am expecting changes to the mindset of the players against WCE and solid improvement leading into the GWS game. I don't expect a loss.

    I am hoping that some magic has been weaved at Sorrento and he has connected with the players.

    Whilst i agree our mid field is woeful (which does beg the question why Neeld has been so focused on talls) by far the the biggest issue is the players are not playing for him.

    If that is not solved he's gone. If he can fix whatever is broken then things will improve and he'll stay. I sincerely hope he gets to stay.

    I tend to agree.

    GWS could be the nail / straw...

    i want Neeld to survive but he has to prove his ability in a matter of weeks.

    There was no spark in either Round 1 or 2

    No life = Death.

    Neeld's coached 24 games so far and he's on his 3rd gameplan already.Remember the first few games last year where we hugged the boundary line coming out of the back pocket and by the time we played West Coast in round 4 or 5,Niknat would stand 5 metres in from the boundary line all day and he took mark after mark.Then he changed it up using more of the corridor and we got cut up on the rebound because of our poor foot skills.Now it the zone defence where we are standing 5-6 metres off our opponent and we get carved up by teams with pinpoint kicking and we are so far away from our opponents,we can't even lay tackles and pressure the ball carrier.

    Sorry,but there has never been a coach that has done so much damage in 24 games of coaching,sent us back 3 years and don't get me started on the recuiting of VFL hacks.I shudder to think if Neeld coaches us for another 2 years.

    I think he tried real hard to get midfielders from elsewhere that we're on the move or OOC, eg, Wellingham, BJ, etc, but they were not interested.

    Responsibility for our demise rests on this muppets shoulders.

    He should resign in shame.

    He should go for the good of the team.

    • 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?
