    He said best side for development is to play Collingwood hawthorn etc.. yet why wasn't toumpas kent or blease thrown in the midfield to play on a Swan, Pendles or Sidebottom??!!! Blease was left in the forward line the whole time.. Toumpas was playing a loose half back most of the game, and kent was the same with Blease why pigeon hole them in the one spot give them 10 minutes or so on Swan! Who care if he got another 5O possies it would have been a learning curve! but nope he doesn't know how to develop our young kids!

    Well i think he actually suggested he would axe the repetitive clanger kings

    I think what is holding him back is he will have too many young kids on the ground

    He needs to at least try it as he is running out of options IMO

    What must Couch, Magner, Taggert and Tynan be thinking

    Neeld was a midfield coach and how is it that he selects defenders and forwards to do that job ?

    I just feel numb listening to MN, nothing he says means a damn thing to me. Whatever they are doing in the inner sanctum of this club it means absolutely nothing to the club supporters. The club and its supporters are living in a parallel universe.

    Why are players like spud Rodan getting games...when you have Couch & Magna getting high possesions each weak?

    You would think that they are the future.......

    If talking could win games we would be premiers now. (Sigh) it takes a bit more than that....

    I found this a very interesting comment. Do we axe the guys who keep turning it over and have a team with next to no experience or stick with the older, harder players and cop the clangers? Personally, I would love to see the "Baby Demons" hit the park later in the year and have a crack at it. You never know, they might surprise a few. Certainly Taggert needs to get a run at some point, probably Davis too although I doubt he'd help the clanger situation. I don't think we'll see Barry this year. Tynan hasn't convinced me. Couch a possibility.

    What Neeld is actually saying is none of his list has a clue of how he wants them to play.

    Senior players turning it over.....look at the list...only Dunn fits the bill (excluding Jamar who did OK?).

    We don't have that many senior players.

    You do know the Board and coaching staff are a little behind where they wanted to be!

    Love to see what their plan actual was?

    For once, he was actually a bit critical and didn't treat us as idiots for at least part of the press conference.

    And one senior player he would have been talking about was Jordie McKenzie. In the leadership group so has to be considered 'experienced', and continually fluffed his disposals.

    Why does it take so long to see the fricken obvious .

    Jack Dyer coined the description "good ordinary player"; McKenzie is an very ordinary ordinary player but he's not alone.

    This is the first week I didn't even bother watching it, as I reckon I've seen him say the same thing after every weekly flogging over the past 18 mths...

  • Quote

    SO, senior players who have been turning it over too much.

    Jordie

    Dunn

    Jamar

    Pedersen

    Jones

    Taking them all out of the side could well improve our disposal efficiency, but it would kill our ability to compete. Who do we have to replace them? Davis is about due for a run, he could come in for Dunn but his kicking is worse. Taggert as well, but there isn't a direct swap in that lot you would make for him. I don't think he has ever played as a HBF before. Couch into the midfield in place of McKenzie? Probably about the same impact, although I trust his kicking more. We have nobody who can ruck like Jamar, although Gawn seems to have a better impact around the ground. PEdersen/Sellar, little difference. Jones is our best player, but he has been missing his targets lately. Even so, no way would you consider dropping him.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
