Jamar still no disposals. How can you go an hour of football, playing as ruckman where you've been involved in 25 stoppages, and not even accidentally get the ball?!

Mark may as well just leave now - pack his bags and start looking for a new job. For better or worse its over tonight. he wont be coaching next week. And to be honest I doubt he will be the only one.

People rave about Neil Craig but he picked up Tambling from Richmond and recommended Sellar from Adelaide. I don't think he will walk away unscathed either.

I don't know if this list is as bad as these results. Honestly I doubt it could be but then again this is the list that Neeld refined.

Id just like to say to all the younger supporters here, once we were a half decent team - late 80s and 1998-2006 we were actually fun to watch. This is actually so bad that its almost funny.

Bring back Nathan Carroll! Bring back Uze - bring back a player who cares!

Seriously from the Top down, they should all walk.

Don & his board, let Peter Jackson restructure the Football Department.

This is serious now. Not emotional

The people at the top have to go.

The players DO NOT CARE.

If I was mark Neeld Id bring out our 2002 list as it is now - even with years away from footy they would show something at least.

Neil Balme (i think) about Round 10 1996 at Waverley Park i believe .... Diamond Jo met with him during half time to deliver the news (someone else may know more about this ...i was probably half plastered on the day lol but that's how i remember the call when listening on my tranny. I think it was KB calling the match)

Wonder what was the score in that match at half time??

M Jones kicks into the back of Frawleys head 2 metres away!!!

Dunn drops a mark an under 8 would take!!!

This isn't just the coach but sack him anyway

Who would want to take over and coach this bunch of hacks???????????

Why didnt we get o'mera!!!! melb recruiters prob thought he was no good, they like slow plodders like trengove

Really looks like Craig is taking over. Neeld looks lost

Frankie, if you've still got the Richmond game on tape, try and check out 3/4 time. Craig was down on the ground directing and coaching players from the bench from about half time and then at 3/4 time when walking off Craig was walking with Neeld to the huddle. Craig looked more in control and was advising/directing Neeld as to his thoughts. Neeld was either in deep thought....or alternatively was completely out of it with no answers.

I don't have the coverage today but sounds like a continuation from last week.

Neil Craig, Director of Sports Performance to Assistant Coach now?

We have a few players capable of playing AFL football and a couple capable of good VFL football but the rest are just not up to it.

Neeld needs to go and be replaced with someone who may be able to stem the flow; I'd settle for 10 goal losses now but Neeld can't even get them.

This is the worst AFL/old VFL list in the history of the game. Our recruiting has been abysmal and we have nothing, after spending years at the bottom with so many high draft picks the recruiters have destroyed this club.

I think part of the problem is an overestimation of some on our list. Clearly.

Are you smoking something or what the players dont give a [censored]

North loses by a point after being 4 goals up with 4 mins remaining.

Those last 6 minutes I watched was amazing.

Jeez my tipping has gone to shite this weekend.

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.

    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
