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..

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.

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:

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?

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

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

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

Don looked stressed out yesterday.

And so he should! pisses me off to see Neeld so calm and say things like "the effort was great..."

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
