Never cared less about the team I love than I do today.

 

I didn't say this earlier but if it's already been leaked that Neeld will be sacked tomorrow, we are a disgrace. Sure the bloke isn't the answer and things are just getting worse under his leadership but treat him with some decorum and don't publicly humiliate him.

Watts!!!!! Too slow to kick.

Slow to kick as the side is slow to get into space.
 

Bruce has switched from lead commentator to head cheerleader.

He becomes highly-aroused once the floodgates begin to open.


McKenzie... Not AFL standard

Agree this guy is a dud. And the fact Joel Macdonald got a game says the white flag alone.

Fitzpatrick trying but is another dud pick.

[censored] hallelujah!

Well done Garlo, that's how you play on and take the game on. And good work from Dawes!
 

Attention all others... Watch garland take the game on and follow his lead


Sad thing is possession-wise and tackle wise, we are doing ok. Score line like this you'd think we would be 100 possessions back

He humiliated himself, who would recruit Rodan, not one club in the league except our whack job, i cant see how they can fix this, if i was Sylvia i would be gone.

Wait so decision making is not the coach's domain?

Is Neeld out there? Is he there to tell idiots like Fitzpatrick and McKenzie what to do? No, he's not. He can tell them all the right things during the week, but he can't replicate gameday no matter what he does, and players who are not natural footballers like Fitzpatrick and McKenzie, who cannot make the transition to the speed, pressure and intensity of AFL football, are prone to making bad decisions.

Decision-making is not as easily coached as tackling, clearance work, positioning, or even ball-skills. It's innate, and our players wholly lack it. It's up to them to learn from their mistakes and get better.

Neeld has a raft of other issues he can be responsible for.


Presser should be good

Neeld should come out necking a champagne bottle tonight.

It's all over. Make it a party.

It's not his fault Garry Lyon hired him.

Neeld was on the right track. He is just not experienced enough to be the Head Coach of this leaderless list.

WE NEED THE BEST COACH IN THE LAND.

Never cared less about the team I love than I do today.

Thats the massive problem that MFC and the AFL face, your in a line with about 80,000 people.


We try and try and try and then stands a lone man inside their forward 50, even when we've loaded up the back half.

How does that happen?

Might be clutching at straws, but the intent is a lot bloody higher than we've seen all year. But Dawes misses that, then a bail miskick, they just break spirit.

Very pleased with our performance today

 

Love how Buddy can just crash into Frawley's back and it's play on...

Amen. Absolute crap.

Even the ball hates us the way it's bouncing!

  • 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.
