THE PAIN KILLER

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.

    Off the top of my head, they were missing Pavlich, Sandilands, Hill, Walters, Morabito.

    We were missing Grimes, Clark, Viney, Sylvia, McDonald.

    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...

    I've often wondered if the would let you in to the MCG with a bullhorn...

    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

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
