Neeld is gone, thats a done deal in my mind, but Jackson will keep him on board until a suitable replacement is coaxed into the job by Vlad. There is no way they will sack him without a solid roadmap in place.

You would have to be thinking the most likely time for the big switch would be at the end of the season.

    is there any realistic scenario where we would bring in a big name coach at the end of the season (Roos,Choco, Worsfold etc) and Neeld could move into an assistants role?

    Would he even be interested in that?

    Gonna be an interesting few months coming up.

    Thats a long time to wait if we are getting our arses kick week in week out not to mention what it will do to supporters and the players.

    I can't see any incoming coach wanting the previous senior coach to be his assistant and likewise I wouldn't think a coach that's been given the flick wanting to stick around at the club. I think a major reshuffle in the assistants is needed at the end of this year, for me I see Viney, Craig, Misso, and Leigh Brown as the only ones that are safe and possibly a few of the development coaches could be made redundant to save costs.

    It appears as though the club has learned from the sacking of Baily, that was handled in an extremely amateurish way so they are now handling this one with patience. There are two scenarios I see happening, he gets given until the end of the year and barring a total squad (save for about 5 players) heart transplant and they start to show some improvement, he is sacked. Or as expected we will be wiped off the park by every team in the next 5 rounds and they sack him after the queens birthday, thereby giving the interim coach 2 weeks to prepare and the players 2 weeks to get over the fact they've killed another coach.

    Lets see if Neeld can get the side to lay a tackle this week.

    If it is the same scenario as last sunday he cannot stay till seasons end.

    WYL it shouldnt be about laying a tackle or being competitive it SHOULD be about WINNING, which is aint. This is an AFL side right not an Aus Kick team.

    Unless the Dees start winning Neeld should be gone and if we continue to get thumped he should be gone sooner rather than later.

    I sincerely doubt it. He would move on.

    I feel a bit sorry for him. For all his errors in judgement, he would unlikely be in such a perilous position at any other club. Unless he can produce a miracle to right this ship in time to save his job, you'd have to think his senior coaching days are done. For a clearly ambitious guy, that will hurt alot.

    VFL or oblivion.

    If they keep Neeld and we continue to lose by 10 goals or more, see above.

    Here is my sliding scale on what could happen to Neeld next week depending on the size of the loss to Richmond

    0-30 points = coaches until seasons end (depend on future results)

    31- 60 points = sacked after mid season break

    61-100 points = sacked sometime next week

    100+ points = sacked by Monday morning

    If for some reason we win, his contract will be extended until 2018 and a statue commissioned to stand next to Norm Smith's.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
