4pm: Still waiting to hear the outcome of the board meeting, if any.

Earlier today Damian Barrett told AFL.com.au's 'Access All Areas' that Melbourne's board had already decided Neeld would not coach next season, and his exit was now just a matter of timing. Watch the video here.

Barrett also said Demons president Don McLardy may soon be replaced, and that interim CEO Peter Jackson was facing pressure to take the job on a permanent basis.

So in summary they are saying that if all this hype is for nothing it is Damian Barretts fault! lol

Isn't there someway we can blame this on caroline wilson?

when ever I log onto this site I expect to see Mark Neelds photo to start fading like that photo of Marty McFly in Back to the Future

Brilliant!

The Melbourne FC in Back to The Future! Starring:

Mark Neeld as Marty McFly

Peter Jackson as Doc Brown

Ron Barassi as Lorraine McFly

Norm Smith as George McFly &

Collingwood FC as Biff Tannen

Oh and Caroline Wilson as Principle Strickland!

Edit: Wilson

I take it that the usual meeting goes for half an hour with Neeld, and this one has gone for over 2 hours, that something has happened, or some serious grilling is happening.

Gee I hope he and Mclardy are replaced.

BREAKING.....

Mark Neeld questioned over JFK assisination & Moonlanding cover up.

JFK was shot by the driver and the moon landing was staged in Hollywood.

I'm just going to reword this a little so it's a bit more accurate:

4pm: Still waiting to hear the outcome of the board meeting, if any.

Earlier today Damian "i think I know something about football, but I'm really a tool" Barrett told AFL.com.au's 'Access All Areas' that Melbourne's board had already decided Neeld would not coach next season, and his exit was now just a matter of timing. Watch the video here.

Barrett also said Demons president Don McLardy may soon be replaced, and that interim CEO Peter Jackson was facing pressure to take the job on a permanent basis.

Barrett also stated that he felt that Melbourne took a scattergun approach to it's recruiting during the offseason, but acknowledged that he does not have the intelligence to understand anything more complex than 1 + 1 = Window.

Expect an announcement soon saying that some decision will be made at the next board meeting ....... in a months time!

Due to running out of time after Neeld tried to explain to the board the idea of KPI's

The ironic thing will be that if Neeld is sacked, the "experts" as well as the media flogs will come out saying it was the wrong decision and that the club is a rabble.

You just dont understand the game plan.

Its all about getting smashed in the first half so they will let their guard down.

With the MFC is the second half that counts, if only the boys were a little fitter they would have had them.

This is exactly what I hate about the media these days... whatever happens today the media will have no idea until its made public. The media is a joke.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
