Neeld is meant to be a defensive coach. Our defence was better under Bailey, what does that tell you? You want me to give him credit? Fine. Dear Mark Neeld, those 3 plays where we looked good and it lead to a goal were well done, however, the REST OF THE EFFING GAME where we couldn't tackle or give any effort was [censored] WEAK. "Hardest team to play against" my arse!

Why don't you address that letter to the players? They are the ones who need to take ownership for the seven years of hell that this club has been through.

It's great being here. Great atmosphere and the guys are really giving their all. I am proud to be a supporter.

So Watts isn't playing this weekend? I thought the point of dropping him was to send him back to the twos to gain some confidence and touch. What is the point in dropping him then likely bringing him

How about I address it to the guy who is the boss of the players? Who do you think that might be?

We need a new Coach. Craig if he wants to or Rawlings to step in as the interim coach.

If Neeld can't get our team up for the contest then it's time to try someone else. Probably a good bloke and all that but he can't coach. In fact, he has no idea.

No Macca your wrong... the problem is not the coach, its the culture, & now after some more losses its a lost confidence. the talent is still there in the raw form.

changing coaches won't do a thing. It'll still take a new coach a long time to get the players back up & going.

& as I said the coach isn't the problem,, its belief & spirit.

we chose a certain way back in 2007, then we sacked a coach & now a CEO & now you want another coach. >>> this is the problem!!! We won't see one method thru...

the players & people around the club are in a headspin..... TOO Many changes...

we have to let A Method work,,,, but the cleansing of the Culture/Nature has to be built on Tough/Rugged Footy...

I wasn't getting personal. I was using a word that's barely offensive to begin with, and I used it to refer to the collective masses who were calling for the coach's head.

I would never call you or anyone else a moron, but I reserve the right to use it against entire groups of people who decide on the spur of the moment to sack the coach after one horrendous quarter of footy.

Why don't we leave the administration to the administrators and just get on with our lives?

Coach decides who plays and who doesnt, he decides who mans up on who, what game plan they have including things like letting the eagles have a spare man in defense who kills us while our spare man in defense does not much. and no one is attacking the coach after 1 Horrendous quarter of footy. we have had all of last year, practice games, nab cup and now 3rd game into this season to decide this.

hopefully we lose to GWS so Neeld is fired and we can get an AFL standard coach

Still no gameplan, and still a complete inability to get his team switched on for 4 quarters

Time to move on from this conversation. I'll let you have the last word.

He looks like he doesn't know how to run even if he could. Not selecting Wines could be yet another failure.

Originally I didnt agree with this, but then I thought about who our inside mids actually are. We have one and an 18 year old...

DL, I don't rate the bloke as a coach, many others do.

I'm not going to post any more on the subject. I've said my bit and it's up to others to argue it out.

Two positives - Jesse Hogan and Jack Viney lifting this club out of the absolute shizen it has become in maybe 4 years.

Couldn't blame them for not re-signing with us after their initial contracts....

Yep.

Wines is a lock.

Toumpas we'll have to hope develops. And we know how that usually turns out.

lets face it - we are soft as all crap. We just dont want it enough right across the side.

This is the worse Melb side ive seen since 1986.

Yes I remember that I hope we rise as quick as we did back then but I can't see it seems a long way off

Now I know why Chris Dawes had a 'I dont want to be here' look on his face in the Demons membership booklet for 2013.

He chose us.

From the playing group Its clearly effort and intensity and not 100% the quality of our list

From the coach its clearly a terrible game plan and a hand in some very average team selections.

GWS will be a massive test of our fragile mental state.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
