Can you imagine what our % will look like after the next 4 weeks? If it were dollars, we'd barely be able to buy a beer and pie at the game with it.

It could not get any uglier than today if Bane detonated the G on Queen's Birthday. This was the low point in the club's history today. The bar continues to be lowered. We are all witnesses.

Saying we can't judge Neeld 18 months in??

Jackson hit all the media today...TV & Radio, the changes will start..I could tell by his words he has a fair idea already.

I am listening to Neeld right now...he is a very proud man without the necessary experience.

That is a fact.

It's got to the stage where I actually feel sorry for him. I can barely look when he is speaking, and I fear for the even further humiliation he cops when he finally is removed. As it stands, he will go down in folklore as one of the worst coaches ever in modern football.

Wasn't something about Schwab's positions being safe and only 24 hours later was shown the door?

I do not blame Neeld at all...The Job is way to big for him...This is a 50 year job, that has finally hit the red line

Christ we needed Ross Lyon when he was there.....

We play richmond, freo away hawthorn then collingwood. It could be very ugly the next 4 weeks.

Ugly? We are already a train smash.

I suggest an overseas holiday as a therapy.

I know about Jackson, even listened to him before the bounce at the game (addressed his connection with the AFL. Said the MFC contacted AD asking for if there were any experienced CEO's out there, AD called PJ and asked if he could forward his name, and the board elected him).

I think your looking into it a bit too much into his media blitz today and Neeld. Particularly considering he was saying we need to give Neeld time.

Jackson's experience showed 100% today... I rate him highly.

Difference is PJ said this before the game, and that was said after...

I rate Jackson very highly, The coaching job is too difficult for an inexperienced coach..that will not change.

His appointment of 2 Captains was the the first worry to me.

The players do not care...DRASTIC MEASURES ARE NEEDED

The Coach must go sadly.

Who will coach in between?

Mo money, mo problems... never thought I'd quote Biggie Smalls

Keep Neeld till CEO sorted and in between see who is out there.

We tried Viney before as an interim coach and that didn't go too well... there is always Craig, but again, more money.

Changes will happen this week...That's why Jackson hit the Media today.

They've brought back the mid-season draft, then?

no, we need a home base to just to get things slowly started.. too many temp fixes will not cover up our deficiencies.

We play @ the MCG, as this is our homeground.

But we need to get a Demons Hub, where we can build from the grassroots & up.

No other club is Nomadic, yet has a fixed address, is a Club, but isn't,,,, but rather an Organisation... & wonders why the supporter base is shrinking,,, & we've known about it since Ian Ridley took over....

Yet we still don't have a home base!

... this isn't just about this coach, or that coach, & a patchup job, this is about the fabric of what the club has become in a growing footy code, but we haven't moved a scintilla.... all the other Melbourne based Power Clubs have built their Clubs Hubs, Inc' the Catters down @ the hollow.

but we are just getting squeezed out because we don't have a true Identity, & a postal address on a Google Map. all who have run this club over the decades are 'OK', as they just walk into the MCC to celebrate, but they do Not think of what they can give the grass roots supporters ... they just want the money, & then say politely, "thankyou" & then turnaway,,, till next year.

FCS THIS CLUB NEEDS A COACH WITH EXPERIENCE.

A social hub will not win us games. Get the Footy right and the people will drink.

bloody hell we are going to lose all of those by 15 goals each, or worse

the most staggering thing about where we are it is that we have had a reltively easy draw so far this year

wow

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
