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.

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

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

Good luck sir, the methodical steps to some success please let them begin....... Now!

Ps amazing how little response this has received in this thread as a positive yet so much attention to the negative on the Neeld situation in other threads.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
