If neeld even bothered to look at our past, he would have realized how important Jurrah and wonamirri were to the spirit of this club. He should of had the empathy and courage to support them thru some serious challenges in their life. It's seems that he made those 2 special indigenous boys feel like pieces of cattle to be disposed of if they don't step into line.

I didn't support the hiring of Bailey, but at least the club was enjoyable to support during his tenure. Neeld has turned it into a north Korean army march.

Those players I mentioned earlier, were the reason why kids follow the demons. You need those blokes to create the spark which ignites the spirit. It was enough to make respectable football professionals to claim we had the players to make the next super team. Look at us now, unbelievable. Unrecognizable. Miserable.

I take it with what you have written, you have absolutely no idea what occurred with Jurrah and Wonna, suggest you need to go and spend some time in indigenous communities, may give you a bit of a better understanding

Also you seem to have a rather skewed view of the military, watched too many movies I suppose, take it from me (15 yrs) that what you say about turning into robots is completely and totally wrong, but hey it doesn't stop you posting does it

 

I won't attend games not because Neeld is coach but because we suck and are boring to watch (not worth wasting time going to matches and getting depressed)

I second this.

Any man willing to risk his life and invade another country because gwbush and lapdog Howard say so, are in fact brain dead robots.

And yes, I do know a bit about indigenous communities, a

Nd know that those people need to be treated a little bit differently, with a bit more care and understanding. They do not have a strong work ethic. It's a gradual adjustment

 

I have followed the mighty Red & Blue since 1953 and have held continuous membership for the last 15 years. During that period I have seen some great football teams and some equally horrible ones. I witnessed the greatest coach of all time in Norm Smith and have seen some of the worst since, with the current coach by far the worst of them. After last year's performance I had high hopes only to see a team that is supposedly 25% fitter now losing games by 60% more than in 2012.

I am so disgusted and gutted by their performances this year that I have returned my 2013 membership and will not re-join until Neeld has been removed.

I am not naive enough to realise that it is not all the coach's fault as he is not the one on the ground. But he does not have the players playing for him and whilst they say publicly they support him I think the opposite is true.

According to Shane Wakelin he is an exceptional planner (hmm!) but lacks people skills.

Oh for 2014!

I'm sorry but Neeld did not make him drink or put a machete in his hand.

The club thought they were doing the right thing by allowing him to go home when he really wanted too.

Go home to go to war.

The fact is, we had and loved Wona and Jurrah, now we do not have Wona and Jurrah.

Remember how Farmer wanted to stay home, We managed to get him back.

I really don't think the club sent him to war.

And if the club said he couldn't go, do you think that would have stopped him? I don't.

for two seasons albeit where he was very average and went home anyway....

Seriously, you can lay many many problems at the feet of Neeld but you are out of line with Jurrah and Wona....

I already thought you were a complete numbskull.

If this is truly your view, then you're only adding to that perception.

Boards will come and go.

CEO's will come and go

Coaches & players will come and go

Supporters/Members are the lifeblood and essence of a club.

In many ways sponsors are as well.

You/we/us are, ultimately, why this club exists. I implore every supporter to hang tough and reject not going as a protest. If you just can't stand it anymore and you need a break then fair call. Everyone has their limits. I did it after about round 10 last year and directed my energy towards Casey games as I was letting the on field carp effect me too much at home and needed some time out. We all get bloody angry and frustrated watching this rubbish I understand.

if I could suggest...we all get behind the one shining light that to me has stood tall this year throughout the storm. I've witnessed and heard their efforts personally on 5 occasions so far and they've never let the team down. Even during the hurricane that was 148 against the bummmers they were giving their all right up till early in thd last. And that's some effort guys!!!

Of course I'm talking about the mighty Demon Army! In a year filled with so many lowlights and darkness, the Army has been nothing short of magnificent.

Get behind em guys and rally around. Lets stick together and give them and all the boys as much support as we can. For when the ship is finally righted, those who make it through from this existing playing group are going to do us proud. Lets make sure they remember why they are there and that we continued to back them during our most difficult hours.

Let them know that there's one group in this club that refuses to say die, its die hard supporters! You all know where they are. If you haven't got a reserved seat etc...try and rally round them if you can. Looks great on the replay too if we have more numbers/flags etc in a mass group when the cameras focus in.

Mighty Demons Forever

Great post Rusty, as I mentioned 1 page back I live in Sydney for work so at least you guys get to see them. I just got told I'm working queens birthday in the Hunter so this week will probably be my only live game this year. Some will joke I'm not missing much. We must STICK FAT.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
