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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
