Post Match Press Conference

I don't support this regime. I support the MFC.

I want action this week or not one more $$$ they shall get.

It's over Don. Will you be paying the $500,000 fine?.

Tanking is what got us in this putrid mess.

Give CS a call he may be able to pitch in...

 

It seems fairly clear that the job of a caretaker coach is to rebuild relationships between the playing list and the coaching staff. Neeld has lost the list. He will go either now or at the end of the season. If it is after round 23 we may lose Frawley, Watts, Sylvia and who knows who else. If we are in a rebuilding phase now it will be worse if that happens. Removing the coach now gives the list some breathing time, keeping him on ensures its continued disruption, even destruction.

Tomorrow would be good.

Earlier if at all possible.

 

Not that is a real coach. Thats how a real man speaks. Absolutely disgusted at a 1 point loss.

Polar opposite to Neeld, and then some.

Hilarious. On the North site, 100 bucks says they are bagging Scott for failing to get enough men behind the ball or for not making his team mentally strong.

Tomorrow is when I would do it. Get the players to rethink their futures now, because at the moment I would guess their managers have already decided that their value is just plummeting at this outfit. And if we are worried about the cost, we will have plenty of money if we keep him because we won't have to pay Frawley, Sylvia et al.

i couldn't give a flying f about North. They should be on the Gold coast

The MFC have far bigger problems.

Back on topic - I watched Chip and then the interview with Trengove. I spent a fair bit of time in my 20's in a war zone, and worked with a number of vets from WW2. I am oldish.

Look at their eyes. These kids look like some people do in the early stages of PTSS.

What The Inept One is doing to these young men with his public negativity and losing mentality is unacceptable.

He will destroy these blokes if we don't get rid of him forthwith.

Come on. I've looked like that after a long run. What you saw was exhaustion after 2 hours of physical activity, compounded by the disappointment of losing. To compare it to PTSS is probably overkill.

 

It's about time the players and Neeld stopped playing this charade. The are insulting everyone not least the supporters and financial backers of this club. Cut the khrap

YES Cut the crap and Tell the truth about what is going on

I just tweeted Mark Robinson about it and asking him whether something could be brewing.. waiting for a response

lol


I suffered through most of the match telecast which wasn't nearly as painful once I turned the sound down. Dwayne Russell was doing my head in!! Never offers anything constructive just seems to delight in bagging Melbourne for some perverse reason. Takes a lot of courage to belt someone when they are down!

......and don't you love ex Demon G Healey's comment about Freo playing a dope on a rope game (or something similar but meaning the same). Thanks for nothing. Stay away from our Club and Nate Jones.

Not overkill at all... it's just plain laughable.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
