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. ;-)

What was funnier was that he followed that up with a *cough* phone glitch *cough* that caused a multiple posting :-)

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.

    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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
