Won the clearances, rebound 50's.... And clangers.... Sorry for my earlier posting. "Don't worry we will win this" was auto corrected on my iPhone. What I meant to say was "good to see some rainfall

So proud of the boys today. Just couldn't fault their effort. Fantastic performance; absolutely no shame in being beaten by such a highly esteemed opposition. Well done lads, you did the club proud.

Yep. I'm off the Neeld bandwagon for good. His so-called "reality bus" was all a big sham.

Done by a team that's further ahead than us in terms of development.

Top 10 youngsters 3 years ago, the best player of the modern era, heaps of coin, AFL backing, magnificent midfield.

Our poor draft choices over the last 5 years may finish this club off for good.

you're a crack-up jumbo

FMD.

Surely even you can't stick up for Neeld now?

"Melbourne appeared at times to have lost the will to fight and the capacity to play as a team. It let the opposition do as it wished."

just about says it all.

Yes?

He wasn't out there putting in that weak as [censored] performance.

Yeah, he was in the box coaching it.

Seriously, if you still think Neeld is the man you CLEARLY have no idea about football. The end.

Are you for real?

He sets the match ups, and the tactics and the pre match selection and it is his job to motivate the players and get them to play to an acceptable level without and without the ball.

Our list is not great but it is far more talented than the rubbish it serves under this coach.

The next stage is easier. I feel nothing.

I think I'm there, I've stopped caring. I won't be able to make it to many more games and I am glad.

Neeld will not be coaching next year, just a matter of time. Gut feeling is that it won't be this week, maybe after QB with the club having a week off to regroup.

I wanted to believe, and for a long time I did. Every week I go hoping to see someone take the next step, or see the team structure hold up and us look competent but it seldom comes.

Howe and Jones are the only ones I can think of who have improved under him.

I'm looking forward to being told we're reactionary idiots this week.

Yep, we lost by 10 goals to a team who has never won at the MCG, and we've NEVER lost to.

That's a fair dissection I think.

There's a first time for everything.

The Club kicked its highest score in a quarter 3 weeks ago.

Even virginity only lasts once.

That is a pathetic attitude mate.

We lose by 10 goals to a development side that we SHOULD have beaten, and you say "there's a first time for everything".

You and Neeld are obviously out of excuses if that's all you can come up with.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    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
