The coach is the dumb one. Or inept. Or just can't coach. Or can't communucate. Or all of the above

    I agree with your comment on the Swans spread WYL, but the hand and foot skills of both teams are very average cf Geelong.

    The MCG is great for spreading. We have played 7 games there and learnt nothing.

    The back end of the season is going to be very ugly.

    I would suggest that the training at MFC doesn't focus on the real needs - skills, skills, skills combined with sprint work - the academics can come later.

    yes let the players run and enjoy playing.

    Sundays game will be interesting. If we are thumped Neeld must be on borrowed time.

    They look as if they actually WANT to play, and CARE for their team and their teammates. And their supporters.

    What an absolutely disgraceful contrast.

    No.

    We are Melbourne. I want the same commitment to the ball & team mates.

    It's not that hard. Our list has had the spirit ripped out of them.

    Yes I like that Hardnut. Neeld used the phrase - football university when referring to his plans for overhauling the list. This is an important point because Neelds focus has been teaching but the players are not learning...hmmmm

    Sydney, Geelong and to a lesser extent Hawthorn play the best football going around. I hope Peter Jackson is eyeing off good football people from these clubs to come to Melbourne to sort our mob out. Jackson has a great opportunity to fix this if he can pull the best coach and football department people from any of these clubs.

    My patience is officially exhausted, I can't bear to watch Neelds team continue in this fashion.

    Yes, it's an interesting point - teaching and learning - a good teacher ensures that the pupils are learning which is the fundamental aim and the teacher's responsibility.

    Probably the most worthwhile comment on this thread today actually.

    Do we get a vote on the coach? As he wants another 5 years to totally kill off the MFC.

    I for one want the current coach out has he appears to have no idea about player selection, coaching or what MFC needs to achieve to survive.

    But I am worry that the powers to be will only replace him with another crap inexperienced coach.

    Personally I would like someone who actual knows something about football, and not the current MFC board, to make the selection. I lost any faith in the current MFC board after the Suns game.

    Is the MFC development the same as the Suns and GWS as stated by the coach.

    Did not the MFC start its rebuilding program about 5 or 6 years ago, which was well before both teams entered the AFL.

    What I really want to say to the coach "you must know you are not up to coaching an AFL team so please for the sake of the MFC GETOUT!"

    Melbourne FC will not exist in "5 years" if Neeld remains at the helm. While he seems a nice guy the obvious lack of charisma, appeal, coaching prowess, motivational skills will lead to a steady exodus of our better players. He can only attract players that are either plain and simple not good enough (Sellar, Pederson's) or players at the end of their careers (Rodan, Byrnes). Rivers, Maloney, Jurrah,

    We've endured years of bad development because no one seems to be allowed to complete a rebuild. Neeld should be allowed to finish building the list he has in mind and yes, another 3 years is probably quite an accurate assessment of the time it will take to become genuinely competitive with the top teams.

    If we sack Neeld now and take on another coach, just how long to you give them to get us to a point where we are truly competitive? It is very possible that a new coach will again dismantle everything and begin yet another rebuild, putting us even further behind.

    Sorry MD, but you are showing about as much mongrel as a Toorak miniature poodle.

    Neeld's rubbish Coach. Face up to it and move on.

    have you ever been bitten by a miniature poodle? these dogs have a lot more bite than Melbourne do right now.

    Why is the comment "worthwhile" . The comment is an obvious racist slur. Jurrah copted it at Melbourne from the Melbourne Members area throughout his career. Fair Dinkum you Guys just wake up!!! It's not on. Whites have to release this notion they are superior because of being white.

    Probably the fault of Racist Parents...IMO...

    Port Power being made to understand by the Cats. Now we all know Neeld is gone but it will be interesting what Hinkley serves up in his press conference. They are a long way off. Coaches play their part but as we've seen all year from all clubs if everyone comes switched on your half a chance. Obviously skills go a long way but how important is mindset. Players must accept some responsibility for this.

  • Quote

    Its his first year and everyone understands where they've come from.

    Hinkley has won as many games in 9 games as Neeld has in 30 games.....

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
