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

    Hopefully not dubbed over with Benny Hill music.

    Neeld is expected to front board at 2pm, but the meeting starts at 12.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
