    He needs to be given the chance to restructure the club and now he has been. The next month will be interesting to see what recommendations he makes.

    Many say neeld fractured the club by making moves too early. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out

    ... this is fantastic,,, depression has hit since yesterday evening, & I think I need to get away from the computer & get outside to get as much daylight as I can.

    what a relief... re PJackson. I smell a nice little win win coming on down the track, from the left of field...

    I started watching the replay this afternoon, I watched 3 Qtrs of the game except the last. apart from our lack of composure causing terribly ordinary disposal errors, we actually went OK... but our turnovers killed us on the scoreboard.

    ..... & Jack Watts went better in his involvement in the action near him,,, not perfect, but enough to see he has, what is worth persevering with... & his kicking, well I'm not telling anyone anything, by saying its great.

    I can see improvement, I can see learning, but its just not showing Yet on the scoreboard... against stronger teams. but it will after the break, when we play some teams from our current part of the ladder.

    I haven't watched the replay yet but i will..... I agree with your summary Deeluded - we got smashed on the scoreboard but it wasn't all doom and gloom

    I accept people will smash me for having the non popular opinio,n but I've listened to Dawes and Neeld over the past few weeks and you can see positive changes if you look through the scoreboard results

    Hope he recommends a big surprise win on Monday, and the players take up the challenge :-))))))))

    On a serious note, we have been fortunate to have him on board. Now he may well be a masochist to take this on, but hey, join the club......all longstanding MFC members and supporters are by their nature mascohistic or they wouldn't stick around.

    Good get, our luck is turning.

    I can feel another win coming on!

    All great - until he slots in Matthew Knights as senior coach...

  • Quote

    rather than getting so excited with the new kid on the block, how about we just say sit back and see what he actually does before we cry hallelujah

  • Quote

    I think this is a plus to have a person of his caliber overseeing things at the club and with no danger of having bias extending his stay

    His reputation of making sound and tough decisions should at least give supporters some confidence and hope for the future success of the club on and off the field

    Peter Jackson's record at Melbourne has been disgraceful and it's time for him to go:

    P W L F A %

    6 0 6 274 614 44.6

    Time to go for someone young with fresh ideas! :)

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
