25 scoring shots less. Any coach would do better. Neeld has absolutely no idea. The set ups were unbelievably poor. The players have no idea where to go. Kick outs are a farce - THE HUDDLE FFS- WITHOUT RUNNING OUT.

Can we organize a pre match horse whipping on the G for Don McLardy, Cameron Schwab and Mark Neeld before the Hawthorn vs. Melbourne game? At least that would provide us with some entertainment.

Couldn't listen today. Probably wrong but I turned the radio on and I heard that we were trailing by 40 points. Gave myself a rest from angst. Anybody show anything ?

In desperation neeld subbed on a few corpses at half time that showed a bit more heart.

And it would bring the members out

My mate - a Richmond supporter so has some of his own history - thinks that the dees should hand around a loud speaker at the next home game allowing every supporter to let one player know how they think.

Reckon Neeld will have Haw and Coll before a decision is made. Either he goes around the time of the bye or they'll give him to the end of the year. God who'd want the job as caretaker...

Rawlings has done it before after Plough's five year plan was terminated.

Actually each player comes out alone and all the members have their own loudspeakers and we see whose hair goes back the furtherest from the hot air...

Wake me up when the number 1 and 2 draft picks arrive



Wake me up when we get more than 50 games into Morton and Bennell and all the young guys



Wake me up when we play Carlton again after the "bruise free" insult



Wake me up when Viney arrives



Wake me up when Neeld is sacked.....



I think im in some bad recurring nightmare......... and Im never going to wake up!

FFS how can you not put any blame on the coach?

Of course we have some players who aren't up to it, and of course we are young and inexperienced, but we have a decent forward and back lines to build around, and a handful of potentially good mids. We are NOT this bad, we weren't under Bailey (when the team was just as inexperienced and had no Clark, no Dawes, and Jones in lesser form).

The game plan makes no sense, the match ups are bewildering, our set up is strange, and pre match selection is completely off most weeks. Most importantly, there is no intensity, no hunger, no fight, nothing. Our players clearly have lost all confidence, all desire. It is on the coach to resurrect that. Instead, he's destroyed it week in week out.

So how the hell can our coaching panel, and our senior coach who has turned over nearly half a list since he's come on board, not take accountability?

A new coach will not turn us into a finals team over night, but FFS, we can't be any worse.

You misunderstand me. I don't think Neeld could EVER get this club playing good footy. I'm just saying that we should not expect anything better than 3 years from whoever replaces him

It is what it is...

You are dead right. We are bad. We will get better. Not this year.

Pay out Byrnes, McKenzie and Jamar right away. Never to play again.

Get games into Strauss, Tynan, Taggert, Fitzpatrick and Davis so we can make calls on them at the end of the year.

Must get AFL help to land a Buddy or Daisy. Some sort of marketing allowance required ala Ablett, Folau.

Delist another 15 minimum.

Clean all the coaches out. Get some assistants we've actually heard of ala Simon Black.

No point sacking Neeld with Collingwood and Hawthorn approaching, who ever takes over is going to get their butt whipped so no point putting a caretaker coach in to take us to even lower depths.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
