Seriously this is our midfield coach and he has had little to no impact on our midfield group. Our midfield stinks bad but we do have few goodies in there and he has had absolutely no impact on their game. Time for a coach that has been involved in a premiership and who has been a great leader. I'm thinking a Brett Kirk or Cam Ling.

Neeld is working with the same talent and you want him sacked.

A game plan doesn't dictate simple things like running hard, being goal side of opponents and body position in the centre ball ups. These are all simple things that are part of any game plan which Roy

get ratten back as a midfield coach

but today doesnt really prove much, spencer and gawn are still a little ways off being the ruckman that will take over the game

but it is frustrating to watch the clearances continually be dominated by carlton and constant goals from stoppages

And Royal has sooooooo much talent to work with as part of a game plan from a senior coach who has been so successful so far.

Haha self stitch up Rino?

We do have some talent (all teams do) but I am now amazed that someone special "handed to us on a platter" in Viney, is now looking to be stalling. There is something serioulsy wrong with our coaching/development team.

We need to do something about this before ruining another generation.

Definitely I think he needs to go. Has had a lot of time at the club and has not got one area he was involved in to click.

Does anyone know at what point he took over the midfield?

Royal is rubbish, but I thought our midfield was pretty good today, considering the talent out there. Our midfielders didn't seem to be as static as in previous week's and I'm inclined to think it might have had something to do with Spencer and Gawn's ability to tap. We didn't seem to set up so loose today either. We had numbers on both sides of the stoppage, although there few a few exceptions that were glaring. Royal has to go, but I thought today our midfield was far more effective. I still fault them for a lot of the scores against. One on one, our backline was almost fantastic, but by foot they were atrocious. Once again, that seems to be a very taxing game we're playing. The midfielders just stopped running.

Spence has to develop some strength he gets pushed aside too easily.

I'd be moving Rawlings on first. The amount of goals we have leaked this year through defenders, particularly small defenders, not being goal-side of their opponents at stoppages beggars belief.

That was an aspect of defence that Wellman was dynamite on. We should be on the phone offering to triple his salary if he'd return next year.

I'm no Royal fan but he's not got much to work with. Although that said, two taggers & a lumbering ruckman at centre bounces is a nonsense. Leaves us with only one bloke trying to get the ball.

You want to keep him??

Royal is implementing Neelds game plan. We have got problems all over the ground and have done so since Neeld arrived.

Given Neeld is borrowed time.....

Right so its the gameplan and our midfielder arent fit!

And you can work out from seat 35F in the stands or in front of your bigscreen TV that the midfield coach is rubbish?

Do you have the Tattslotto numbers for next week?

If your talent starved midfield leaks like a sieve your defence is battling a tsunami of attack from the opposition.

Lets just deal with the main coaching issue first.......

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
