Tommorrow 33000 MFC members will anticipate a flogging from the Hawks.

10 goals defeat would be ...Ok.

90 points ... expected.

120 points ... probable.

150 points - Neeld can pack up.

I hate accepting and expecting to lose. I love footy, but am envious of other clubs. I want a contest, respect, a chance of a win. Not a dead duck footy season.

The dead years of 2007-12 were at least giving some hope, with draft picks expected to create or regenerate the "premiership dream " of a side for MFC.
2013 is an empty season.

    The truth is we are [censored], have been for a long time.

    It's about time we as members demand excellence then maybe the club will lift their game.

    We have she up and been nice for too long and look where that has got us.

    It is a disgrace how low this club has been allowed to fall...yes it has been said before.

    But expecting 100 point losses each week is disgusting as a paid up member.

    During my 30 odd years as a dees supporter. I have never seen more united numbers wanting serious urgent change.

    Those supporters who believe we should stay the course with Neeld and Co are dwindling in numbers.

    Neeld was brought in to change a buggered culture, unfortunately for him 1 win from 10 games, two years running does not cut it with supporters, sponsors and a club trying to survive.

    Anyone who thinks Neeld should stay have their heads fair up their own backsides.

    Thank so much for thoughtfully starting yet another tedious thread on how much we will lose by, how many goals player x will kick, how big a loss to we need to justify sacking Neeld tomorrow night etc etc etc.

    It seems that there are a growing number here who would actually hate us to turn up a surprise against a big scalp lest the pressure to sack Neeld immediately may wane.

    I reckon there would be many hoping exactly that!

    Neeld is showing that he has the cahonas to make the changes required.

    It will take time, effort and support.

    I'm sick of posters saying that they have invested 9 million dollars in this club and want Neeld sacked....

    In future, use your money to buy a fvcken karaoke machine.

    Those people who have put in their hard earned cash may very well do that. I wonder if Neelds supporters will continue to support him if that happens?

    MD, if he doesn't see out his contract and is sacked, I'll still support this team, both spiritually and financially. I, and many others see a shift. It's too simplistic to count 'wins' as the only defining factor.

    We've been rs for over 10 years now and our recruiting has been absolute shite. It will take time.

    This has been spoken about ad nauseum. I hope we're competitive tomorrow.

    I'm sure you're hoping for the same thing.

    If you supported the Tank then stop bitching because the blame is at your feet.

    If you didn't support the Tank then demand that those int he club that did are thrown out and are never allowed back.

    It's as simple as that.

    Neeld has supporters? That is worrying.

    Only a couple of years back Michael Voss labelled us as the next Powerhouse team of the AFL. What year Michael?

    I think he got the century wrong as well Bobby

    Been a lifetime demon and never seen it as low as this

    The omission of Magner after last week and not taking a chance on players who have yet to debut is baffling

    Taggert , Couch, Tynan and i would even play Barry just to give him a taste

    Neeld must give supporters some hope

    IMO he is doomed by his own stubborn persona

    It is starting to get embarrassing now

    Great, all the while his coaching ability is about 0 and going backwards just like the on field performances.

    If change meant continual 100 point loses where he players give no effort then woo hoo what a change we have coming along!

    18 months is a chance.

    I'll still go every week, I don't boo the team, but at the same time I won't cheer shite.

    • 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.
