Rumours that McLardy will step down, not sure how accurate they are though.

Of course the big question is will Neeld be sacked? Neil Craig will also be present at the board meeting by the way.

    Maybe Neeld is going to be sacked and McLardy is going to resign as a sign of taking responsibility for the mandate that Neeld was given (if what Neeld explains is the full truth). Because, if Neeld was given that mandate and it was not made clear to him that he needs to do it whilst maintaining professional level output on the field then the board has to be held accountable in some way.

    Then again, they probably would have liked to think he'd assume he needs to maintain some modicum of respectability on the field while he enforces his changes.

    Did you get this from the numerous articles that have been reporting the same thing? (in particular about Craig attending the BM as well).

    I think the meeting has been moved back to 12 noon.

    And I highly doubt that they would sack Mark Neeld and have Don Mclardy resign as the same time..

    On a par with our playing results, the meeting has been rescheduled to the Haunted House at Luna Park.

    SEN has said the meeting is at 12pm

    Which means it has just started. WAt least there is plenty of off field intrigue to engage dees fans. Like fawlty towers mixed with West Wing

    Gosh this made me laugh. An ordinary weekend, a stressful day for Dees supporters and you come out with this... cheers!

    PS. Maybe your sources read it in the paper too? Pfft....

    Any DL member who lists Jurrah, Martin and Gysberts as their favourite players must have their sources questioned... :blink:

    Lol. Any 'lander who lists current listed players as their favorites as well?

    If Don stands down, they won't sack Neeld this week.

    If Neeld stands down they won't sack Don ??? Who knows..What a mess whatever happens..Craig would make a better mentor but cannot do much better short term with the current crop..Unfortunately...

    Would it be a fair assumption the meeting has been brought forward to enable a press conference to follow this afternoon?

    Ha ! Ha ! We STILL retain our sense of humour (Because we have to)

  • Quote

    I have been thinking about this meeting today but dont' know if its even worth thinking about because I doubt anything major will happen today and if it does then of course we won't be told about it until ... 7 months or whatever. I think the main thing that Demon fans want are answers and the truth - I hope they do tell us today and don't take months to make a decision!

    I am sick of being left in the dark whilst my club deteriorates

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
