He deserves to be paid out his contract. It is not through a lack of effort that he isn't up to it. He has every right to stick around. Those that employed him are the ones you should be directing your anger at.

 

Agree. If he is not going to allowed to serve his contract then he hold be entitled to the financial benefits of the contract if terminated.

I trust the Club has learnt from their abysmal treatment of Bailey.

And FWIW while I don't rate Neeld as a coach and have not done so through his tenure, he should be terminated respectfully, civilly with the opportunity to leave the Club professionally. His coaching tenure did not work out and their should be no bitterness or malice.

I have confidence that Jackson can see to that.

It's starting to damage our brand which could result in less revenue, sponsors and cash generation all round.

Not to mention the ability to retain and attract players.

Football is a business now and I don't think we should hold being nice - over what is in the best interests of the club.

Lack of onfield success alone points to Neeld not seeing out his contact, why delay this?

The longer it goes on, the worse it is for the club.

When the club is in free fall and dying, there is no time to be catering graceful exits for underperforming coaches.

His self belief is admirable and you need self belief to be successful however it's probable that this is very misplaced.
 

Ive been a critic of our performances and he isnt getting the best out of the players, we should be better.

However as the previous post states, He has a bloody strong carachter considering the pressure on him.

It doesnt seem to be fazing him, Hes either has confidence in what hes doing or delusional.

I've touched on this before, I watched the coaches office on melbournefc.com.au this week and Robbo asked Neeld about how he is travelling in regards to all the scrutiny and Neeld said he has a contract until the end of 2014 and he bluntly said he intends to hold up his end of the deal, basically stating "I'm not Quiting and your going to have to sack me if you are to remove me as senior coach".

The guy has dug his own grave with the way he treated the leadership group and some of the other recruiting decisions he and his staff have made. Neeld would no doubt know that the Melbourne members and supporters are outraged at him with some of his decisions he has made, coupled with poor on field performances. He must also get a strong vibe that the Peter Jackson and the entire board are running out of patience with him.

When Neeld said I need 5 years to fix this I thought and sure most others thought you have made the situation 10 times worse. In 2010 and 2011 we won about 8 - 9 games a year and building. No doubt we needed extra help in areas, but now he has destroyed what foundations where in place to a point where it sets us back further. Instead he should have back a few of the senior boys and built on what we had and I highly doubt we would be in this basket case situation AGAIN!

So Mark the MFC isn't rolling in cash do the right thing pack up your office hand in your resignation, because Dees supporters and players deserve better!!

yeah! I've got 30 - 1 on within the next 12 days!!! :wacko:

selfish or watt?

:mad:

Delusional.....easy.

Well Paul think about this

If you we're a tradesman and your boss/ foreman let 2 young Apprentices started telling you what to I'm pretty sure you would be [censored] off. I would be! I'm sure thats how the likes of Moloney, Rivers, Green, Jamar all felt about there demotion? Though they may not have been A grade players in the comp they were still ver capable players, they didn't want to play for Neeld after the way he treated them.

Moloney was a gun in 2011 won the BNF and polled exceptionally well in the Brownlow, Jamar and Frawley in 2010 were All Australians, Rivers was close as well! Now most of our players seemed to have gone backwards under Neeld! He has made some silly decisions!

you've got no Idea about shifting a culture... when the senior players, most of, are the carriers of the sickness... so lets keep the ones who are perpetuating the issues dogging Melbourne & do nothing about it...

oh wait, thats what we've done since the late 90's. until the better players were approaching the eND...

thats all she wrote.

If he resigns he gets no pay off and walks away without any settlement.

If he gets fired he gets a full pay off and walks away with good money.

He'd be a complete dummy to resign.

not only that, he's be as weak as Pizz to give up on a just cause.
 

I believe in Mark Neeld.

That you right but what makes you believe in what he is doing?

I am really interested to know.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie? 
    Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG. Unfortunately, performances like these went against the grain of what Melbourne has been producing from virtually midway through 2024 and extending right through to the present day. This is a game between two clubs who have faltered over the past couple of years because their disposal efficiency is appalling. Neither of them can hit the side of a barn door but history tells us that every once in a while such teams have their lucky days or come up against an opponent in even worse shape and hence, one of them will come up trumps in this match.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
