Watching this game with the gold coast is one of the more painful things i have ever done, it raises a very serious question

what can we do to get out of this hole? if there is anything.

    What war chest? The one minus $1.5 mill? We have no 'war chest'. Pay out Neeld, Craig and most of the assistants and we are minus $2.5-3mill.

    Assuming Neeld is not going to survive this, it may be our last crack at a coach appointment, we need to get it right.

    Maybe Garry Lyon can sit out on the next coach being appointed.

    Either we back Neeld to the hilt and go through the draft again or we sack him right now and bring in someone else.

    If we think the players are to blame, then we keep Neeld and get new players.

    If we think Neeld is to blame, then we sack Neeld and back the players.

    Either way we need to make our choice now.

    Do we have five players out there who have dished up acceptable performances?

    Do something.

    Do something, to persuade the supporters, the sponsors, the players and the League not to sack the club.

    Why do we have to pay them out? You don't perform you get released.

    The obvious answer to me is to only play the players who are desperate for a place in the side. Sellar has been gifted games because of some perceived utility or maturity that is supposed to make him more use than the other similar players in the side. That stops. Davis would have given us much more today, simply because he is all competitive all the time. I've never seen a worse case of white-line fever. We can't keep on putting in these slack performances. Players who coast or who take their spot in the side for granted need to learn that playing for the MFC is a privilege and if they can't be bothered putting in 110% every time they put on the jumper they can play for Casey. There are a bunch of guys who would kill to play in the firsts, and it's time we let them.

    If you want to feel normal again, just stop watching us. You have to disconnect with what is actually happening.

    Either that or start following Hawthorn or Geelong...

    Pity there isn't a relegation, promotion system in place. A season or two in the VFL might help.

    We'd never get out!

    And get flogged by Bendigo

    The most humane thing the club could do for its supporters is to ask the AFL for the rest of the year off so as not put us through any more miserable weekends in 2013.

    Does anyone even care anymore?

    I care - I'm shattered.

    Knowing MFC we will sack Mark Neeld and then appoint another untried coach...

    Really? I was shattered after the first round. Shattered doesn't describe what I feel now

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
