Whatever the root cause/causes the bottom line for our club is pizz poor onfield performance. What CAN this guy realistically be expected to achieve in 6 months to start some sort of recovery from the mess of the last 7 years?

I agree to an extent BBO. I reckon that Jackson is the first step. A circuit breaker if you will. Hopefully, whoever the next CEO is they need to be handed that Jackson report directly from the man himself. It cant be sanitized or buried by anyone with an agenda.

Disappointed there hasn't been any update on the changes/improvements made on his first day. ;-)

Day one and nothing has happened

This guy should get the sack

I would have thought there would have been something posted on the website or even Twitter saying welcome.

Is he coming here to assist MFC or to report back to the AFL?

Maybe his first week is to interview every listed player and find out why they cannot play good football under Mark Neeld.

He can skip jones and Clark. Whilst Spencer can refuse to testify on the basis that no coach could make him a good footballer

James Hird inherited a very good list thanks to a lot of hard work by Matthew Knights.

Even Essendrug scum who called for his head will admit it now.

Hird & Bomber made the job of Knights untenible.

& both of them are looking very suspect today.

Yeah, only Knights was a [censored] coach...or at least wasn't to a standard expected by Essendon and its fans.

Call them scum, call them whatever, they have standards and they are justified in those standards. How does Melbourne stand up against Essendon over the past 50 years?

We shouldn't accept 24-goal losses, 100-point losses, no matter what the end goal. I literally go into every game CONFIDENT, very CONFIDENT, that a 100-point loss is possible.

THAT'S untenable.

Well, what have Kochie and the coaching staff achieved at Port since last October? :P

cook yes. Be careful with the freo pair. They inherited a club Schwab made a lot of money for (2 team town in mining boom state I could've made them money). And they've spent it on a coach who fell short at st Kilda an now has left them staring at a dark hole when their best performed players are over 30. Now I love Lyon as a coach for match day but freos 2 best players are approaching 30 and recovering from surgery. They've got clever depth for sandilands but now with Kepler out who knows who is going to be a tall forward for Freo.

I would argue Freo's best player is Nat Fyfe and they have a lot of coin to target some A graders come seasons end, my mail is Harry Taylor is in their sights and Buddy is also being looked at with Woodside providing a 3rd party deal.

Yes Schwab helped them clear a massive debt but what the other two have done is made them a hard nosed club changing their culture, they now expect to win, it's no longer about being competitive and winning just derbies for the Dockers

i am not disagreeing.

But Matthew Knights wasn't a terrible coach. He just wasn't Essendon.

Mark Neeld is a different story.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
