Not 'Do you WANT Neeld to get the axe this week?' I am asking for a prediction.. purely out of interest in what my fellow dees are expecting

cheers

 

Please for the love of god get rid if him. (For our sanity)

Depends on how much say, and how much looking at things, Jackson has and needs.

Do another 3 or 4 smashings really matter as opposed to doing what needs to be done properly?

 

Should but won't, as Peter Jackson said, regardless of the result today.

I don't think he will, honestly don't know that it makes much of a difference.

Who will be interim coach? Craig or Viney?


Wish he would, but unfortunately I honestly can't see it happening. If we don't get better, I can't see that he will last the year, but I don't think it will happen just yet.

For the board to back Neeld in after this would be to turn it's back on the clubs supporters, we are all sick of this crap, we should have beaten gold coast, the club, players, coaches are divided and lack any sort of leadership,

we are in worse shape than when Bailey was sacked in my opinion.

and Neeld will sit there and preach the same excuses in the presser.

I won't go to another game as long as Neeld is there, we as supporters deserve better.

 

I don't think so but i hope so


Probably not but he just showed he cannot coach. 10 goal loss to GC on our own ground. OUR HOME TURF.

There is not a scintilla of respect for this club ATM....he is accountable for this.

Not this week.

At worst, I can see him being a lame duck coach whilst back room dealings are made for the remainder of the season.

No self-respecting career coach would want to take over this rabble of a playing group.

No but if this shite continues I don't think he will be coaching 2014

Blame the players, lol, get him out. Say it Nathan Jones' face Neeld. The see if you can blame the players


He won't but he should, he is obviously out of his depth and he may even resign but I doubt it.

We have made an unbelievable mistake and I don't think the Board/Club have a clue what to do about it. After the way Bailey was dismissed they will be ultra cautious and won't want to seem panicked but we are sliding in to oblivion and need to do something before it's too late.

I'm one of many on here, and not on here, that will probably look at each game and decide if we want to go again; I have made arrangements to go next week and will fulfil my obligation but I certainly wish I wasn't.

It used to be fun and a great day going to the football but it certainly isn't anymore there is just no joy there now, even in the dark days of the 70's it was better than this.

Must go. How can us supporters continue to out up with this. I have been to all games bar today but how can we accept that totally insipid effort.

How do I take my son and provide any semblance if hope. I simply cannot.

For the sake of our club please resign Mark and give someone else a chance to give us some glimmer. Please look at the stats and realise we are some far backwards from where we were two years ago it is not funny.

Not this week.

Surely the board have been working on a transition plan since round 1, on the posibility this situation eventuated.

Hopefully Craig will take over, and hopefully we can get rid of some of the deadwood "Assistant/Line Coaches".

Amateur Hour.

That's making the assumption that this board is competent.

Big call.


I don't think it will be this wk, but if things don't improve, more than likely he won't see out the season.

We will get creamed again and again over the next 4 wks, but i don't think that will speak as loudly about neeld as getting thumped by GCS today does!!!

He should be. More than deserves it.

However, with our financial situation and a CEO who's been there a week, I think he'll be safe.

Unfortunately.

we are bad and we know a big reason is our midfield, I hope we van get some mids for 2014, imo that will make a big difference

 

I honestly believe the players dislike Neeld they certainly do not put their bodies on the line for him if anything when they get a chance to make the situation worse they seem to do it

The comment by Jackson that we haven't honestly seen if he can coach is a worry as it means Neeld will get time to further destroy our club

It has made me think more about the role of Craig,

What actually has he done??? He has escaped all criticism, He has coached a finals team and is very experienced. He is very active around training and yet he also seems incapable of changing the train crash that is Melbourne.

Remember, Viney, Rawlings, Connolly have all coached at senior level as well. They can't all be shocking coaches.

There is something very very wrong.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
