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

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
