I laugh at the idea that this is knee jerk. I've never seen a knee take 11 weeks to jerk, you must have the slowest reflexes ever.

Neeld won't be happy - let's not try and convince ourselves that this is a win win for everyone. It might be a weight off stress wise, but he's now unemployed, and, and the thought that he's failed in

David Neitz should be there - record games, record games as captain, record goals. How could Garry Lyon possibly be there ahead of him? Russell Robertson played more games and kicked more goals than G.Lyon.

Why not have confidence in Craig as a circuit breaker? V successful with Crows

And has an impeccable record as a one-time first-up Interim Coach.

He took over at Adelaide from Gary Ayres after the club's third win for the season in June 2004 against second-placed Melbourne at AAMI.

Crows won 22.13 (145) to 10.13 (73). Who'd have thought.

According to one article Neeld got all the young players to stand up and criteque the senior players performances in front of the whole side. Lol.

Maybe he asked the performing players to stand up and critique the non-performing ones, and the age/experience thing just fell as it did.

But yeah, sounds pretty demoralising.

Neita has done a lot more good for the fortunes of the club too.

It is now ancient history HH

We are all clever with hindsight.

Lets concentrate on the the future because IMO this is our last chance.

No hindsight from me 'old dee', CS should never have been here I've always said that. Unfortunately for Neeld he bought the snake oil and that's the biggest mistake he made.

...but as you say it's time to move on and yes I believe it is our last chance too.

Its funny because after the maggies game he was going on about it being the young players showing up the older guys, particularity in terms of the older players turning it over (which was a a bit funny because i recall all players, including young guys butchering it. Terlich was poor as was Blease in this regard). Now i get he was frustrated and perhaps he was right but still i subscribe to the public praise private criticism approach. It seemed at times he could barely hide his contempt for some players

Your last sentence resonates with me, old dee.

How many goes at this do we want? Fair dinkum, if there is another eff-up during another rebuild I doubt the club will survive.

This is it.

Ed: upon reading this post again I found it very 'WYL' like.... Apologies..

Neeld won't be happy - let's not try and convince ourselves that this is a win win for everyone. It might be a weight off stress wise, but he's now unemployed, and, and the thought that he's failed in his one shot at success at the highest level will burn. I really do feel for him, but that's not to say I don't think it's the right decision.

Neeld is in the profession and will know that you live or die by your results; his were unacceptable and he would have also known that, so I don't feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for the MFC because he has set us back 5 or so years and hopefully only that long. My allegiance is with the club not the coach.

This is a pretty interesting piece from Rohan Connolly in The Age, and probably on the money in many respects.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/neeld-just-one-part-of-the-problem-20130617-2odd2.html

Discusses the post-match meeting after the Round 1 loss to Port where Jack Viney spoke. According to the article, Neeld asked the youngsters to critique the efforts of the more senior players, a version which I haven't heard before. At the time, it was reported that Viney had spoken of his own accord.

Just read on Twitter..................Mark Neeld to appear on Footy Classified tonight.

That will be very interesting viewing............I wonder if he will be as cool and calm as he was at the press conference today, or may drop a few bombs.

No need to apologise McQueen You did call me a liar or names.

The rest is only our individual opinions.

However I do seriously believe it is our last chance.

We are still far from out of the woods and it will be a long haul after half a decade of abject failure on and off the field.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
