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

Less Moloney...

    The valid issues you raise about the midfield are issues through out the team. Royal implements the game plan of Neeld based on the players on the list determined by Neeld and trained to the specifications of Neeld/Misson. And I have already explained the issue why the disposition and accountabilities of Royal is different to Neeld. You should send your beef to Mark Neeld. After being the midfield maestro at the Pies he could benefit from your insights.

    Do you reckon this is a typo, or has there been a reshuffle?

    Make him the forward coach so that he can clean sweep the ruination of our list.

    Funnily enough, when Burgan introduced him he introduced him as midfield coach...

    Will somebody mention the elephant in the room.... Leigh Brown. I've watched this talentless guy sprint on and off the field at each quarter time break, and its like he can't wait to get out of the public eye. Our forward structures are terrible, proven goal kickers are demoralised (Watts down back, Davey on the outer, Petterd gone), and guys that were once great backmen are played out of position as though someone is trying to re-invent the wheel (Garland, Rivers). At a basic level players need to respect their coaches. Do any supporters really think that Neeld-Royal-Rawlings-Brown have the playing group believing they have a successful game plan to implement?

    Yes, it is only a minority of self opinionated tossers on here who hate everything about the MFC who don't

    Maybe just sack his brain but keep his body.

    Implant the brain of another midfield coach instead.

    Worth a try.

    I think it's possible that Brown deserves some praise actually. Aren't we number one in the league for converting inside 50's into scores?

    We just don't get enough inside 50's thanks to the midfield.

    "Leigh Brown.

    Django here are some stats I've looked up...

    Back line:

    - rebound 50s: avg 38 per game (ranked 6th)

    Mid field:

    - clearances: avg 33 per game (ranked 18th)

    - inside 50s: avg 43 per game (ranked 18th)

    Forwards:

    - goals: avg 11 per game (ranked 16th)

    - marks inside 50: avg 9 per game (ranked 16th)

    - goal accuracy: 52% (ranked 9th)

    Team:

    - wins under Neeld: 5 (win rate 18%)

    - tackles: avg 59 per game (ranked 12th)

    - percentage: 56.10% (ranked 18th)

    Satyriconhome I don't hate everything MFC. In looking for answers like everyone else. I admire you for standing up for Brown. I'm also glad to see he's watching Casey games. I simply don't see any reason for him to be coach. The skeptic in me feels he is a close friend of Neeld from Collingwood days. Players play because they are motivated by and believe in their coaches.

    Okay so I've bolded the one that can be attributed directly to Brown and ninth in the league isn't a bad result.

    Goals per game does not reflect on Brown only - that is the entire team and in particular the midfield. How are we supposed to kick goals when we can't even get the ball there? It's pretty simple.

    Marks inside 50, see above.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
