We were favorites before Neeld pre-empted reasons for not winning.

Then the money turned.Todays Age shows the odds I took. $1.82. After punters got wind of his weasel words in hope of keeping his position the Suns became favorites.

If Mark Neeld was bumped off as coach before Sundays game I would expect Melbourne would be about $1.60.

Got to wonder if players look forward to the "Gee up" before the match.

    How long untill we fold????

    These statements are utter shite! I am happy so long as the team I support go out and play in the red and blue and give it their best shot! Yes we have been miles from our best and we need to change to achive this, both on and off the field. But these types of sentances make me think of you to be like Marvin the robot from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Is the world realy so bad..... Only if if you don't know where your towel is!

    Charlie Dixon is now out of the game. I wonder how that changes the odds given he's been their most damaging forward this year.

    Didn't see that coming either.

    So one would assume so are sellar and davis as we won't need three tall defenders?

    I hope GCS take all their tall players in. Sunday forecast is 19 with rain. Who knows, Nicholson and McDonald's kicking might look alright if no one else can kick a waterlogged footy!

    Alas! I'm afraid that water-logged footballs are no longer part of the game.

    Blokes struggling to boot the ball 30m is not an image that is 'AFL-approved'.

    These days there might be 8 balls at either end ready for immediate deployment.

    Nah, he and benell were the two best players on the ground, bout 6 million touches between them and 3 goals to ablett and 4 to benell or something, either way they were the only two decent players they had.

    Didn't they get best on ground and second best on ground between them?

    Anyway I don't think we'll win, we have a very ordinary side, but I'm going anyway.

    I would have thought them and brad green who kicked 5 goals 2 would have been the best, jones was good as always also

    And rightly so they should be favorites. The suns are in fine form and have Gazza. We on the other hand lack fitness and a decent game plan. I've tipped the suns, the only thing that will make us win will be if Chris Dawes can have a good game and convert the I50s into goals.

    The trouble is, I don't think we are.

    I thought the exact same thing.

    People get it. Melbourne collectively has a lower average games played than its opponents.

    But I hope to God the day we play a team with less experience Neeld's team flogs them...

    We should still have too many big bodies for them

    They are missing Hunt, DIxon and Warnock, three guys that give them any phyiscal presence they may have.

    Reckon we will win by about 40.

    what did he say? link please

    it was on the MFC site last night I saw it, I needed to check the entire context of what was said as opposed to Stuie's abrieviated anti-Neeld version

    Last year they had those players and their defence couldn't cope with our ball movement, sellar looked dangerous, and they had trent Mckenzie on Rivers in the forward line in the first quarter which was a recipe for disaster for them

    "We'll go in on Sunday with less experience out there than Gold Coast.

    "At the moment we're playing with an average experience of 50 games."

    • 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.
