Disgusting.

I have never seen such a terrible display from our club.

There are some good players in this team, but they are failing so badly, as a team.

Freo show us up even more than most, because they play as a team, not a few talented individuals who are forced to compromise their owns skills, and play as individuals in a rabble called the Melbourne Football team.

Today's match is showing it is time to call an end to the latest experiment - meaning Mark Neeld must do the right thing (if he is not forced to by others) and step down immediately,as head coach. He has tried, but it seems failed.

More,he has failed to such an extent, the club can no longer stand by while he develops and brings players on.

In this day and age no one has the luxury of the sort of time frame he needs.

Thank you Mark, but it's time for us all to move on.

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

    Not some of the list, but all of the list is horrible overrated

    that'll help ME, but i want somebody to help the team.

    There was a bloke. High draft pick, could play any position, skilled on both sides etc. Unfortunately he got nailed to a cross.

    There was a time when Fremantle, Geelong and Melbourne were all cut from the same cloth. All three were flakey, brilliant at times but ultimately too amateurish to win anything. The first two have now moved on, leaving us all alone and out in the cold.

    A lucky first goal from a turnover, then TEN UNANSWERED goals.

    one positive - Trengove is having his best game since 2011

    is it coincidence his form started to slump as soon that useless spud Mark Neeld was made coach? I think not

    The fact that Jamar hasn't touched it in a half of football, when his opponent is Zac Clarke, a spud of the highest order, speaks volumes of how poor he is playing this year. IMO, his lack of ability to influence games is one of the 102931231241029412 reasons we're playing poorly - one of the more serious reasons.

    I hope that a new coach - a respected and experienced coach - can come in and inspire this list. Otherwise we are probably looking at a total rebuild. Other than some of the youngsters that we picked up last year Im not sure I even agree that we have a 'good core group of young players'.

    You watch the doggies and you see Dahlhous and you can see the future. Can we say the same?

    Spare a thought for AmericanDemon. He had the chance to pick any club and decided on this sorry mob.

    Viney. Hogan.

    There's two players to their one. Does that make us better?

    Jesse Hogan ring a bell?

    Tomorrow Neeld has to go, a caretaker coach has to be put in and Peter Jackson has to go get us a Roos, CHoco or Clarkson.

    We need a resdy made respected coach, we can not afford another rebuild.

    Mckenzie running along with two Melbourne players beside him, and he just blazes a kick into the F50 to a one on one. No idea.

    Where are the Neeld supporters niw. Tell us how good we are sat

    It's game day. This is when they lurk in the background throwing in the occasional "like".

    Mid week is when they jump back on to add their condescending remarks and tell everyone how stupid they are.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
