Subject: A members concerns

To Peter Jackson,

As a long term and passionate supporter of the MFC recent performances culminating in yesterday woeful effort has led me to make my feelings known to people in power to hopefully make change.

While i feel our list has deficiencies I feel our on field performance is well below their capabilities.

During all our games even against gws there have been periods ranging from a quarter to whole games where the effort intensity of our players decreases markedly and the opposition can do what they like without any apparent pressure.

The lack of intensity manifested in opposition players running free is appalling to watch.

Even when our intensity is up the lack of spread to create options for a player in possession will result in hesitation and often lead to turnovers.

this appears to be lack of game plan or application which both in turn reflect on the coach

From the stands and discussing with my fellow supporters and opposition supporters the overwhelming consensus is that the coach does not seem to have the players on board .

It is getting to the point of apathy and where I do not want to go to watch ,a situation that has not occurred in my many years of following,even in times of poor performance.

Unfortunately the group of supporters I go with regularly are of like mind ,and I feel the situation will get to unsustainable levels unless drastic measures are employed.

I feel Mark Neeld contract should be terminated,Don Mclardy while seemingly a genuine well intentioned man should stand aside and the president in waiting Mr frreeman take over .

A rebranding with new coach president,ceo can hopefully lead the way .

I will always be a demon at heart as will my family but when the passion is waning I am concerned enough to draft this in the hope of change to rekindle the spark

This was sent from my personal email with name and mobile provided

Up until recently I felt Mark Neeld was someone to keep

May need new name on site

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
