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.

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.

Sacking him this season will just put another nail in the coffin of the MFC because we won't be able to get anyone big or noticeably better. Continuity and stability are key and take time. This is sti

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.

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

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

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.

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.

    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
