GAME DAY - Round 9

Featured Replies

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?!

 

Neeld should resign at the post match.

 

I actually feel sorry for Mark Neeld.

Yep know what you mean. The guys professional life is fading away in front of his eyes.

Thank god I turned it over to Adelaide north what a game


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.

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

 

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???????????

Thank god I turned it over to Adelaide north what a game

Great match. What a finish. If only....

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?

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

Those last 6 minutes I watched was amazing.

Don't bother writing us a letter Don.

Please be a man and just take your people and go.

The statement is on the ground.

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.

Nearly as bad as your spelling DS. ;)

Sorry Moon Shadow my emotion had me under its "spell"

If these players had even half the passion I had they would play a hell of a lot better :)

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

Thats right DIRECTOR OF SPORTS PERFORMANCE GEEE What does that mean?

LOL no but perhaps I need to be...

We are moving along, I think the player showed a bit today. Two weeks in a row we have kicked the first goal. We met a red hot team today.

  • 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.

  • 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.
