He clearly loves the club, but he's not the brightest bloke. Prime example, he essentially backed Moloney's Instagram picture, instead of bemoaning it like he rightly should have. Loved him as a player, but is very base level.

I agree with Beamer and the OX.

Looks like the 80 point loss to the pies fast- tracked things. Well done Ox.

I reckon Neeld was always going during the bye. The decision was only made officially by the board on Friday, but it was always the most sensible time to sack him. I would have approached the AFL at the start of last week and then sacked Neeld at the end of the week, but this way works as well.

I don't really care about what Brent Moloney does, as a member he wasted my and your money last year intentionally.

What i do like is that the article the Ox wrote for the Geelong Advertiser..(shadow Written or not was 100% spot on the money...Like $cully the Ox has excellent sources...he knows the inner sanctum

Keep him close to the club...he wants success

Sensible in terms of making the board look better is that? Wait until immediately after we've played two top 4 contenders to sack him so they can decry the team's poor form, then get rid of him before we play two teams we might actually beat, thus giving them the opportunity to claim the wins are the result of their decision-making and not anything to do with playing two fellow cellar-dwellers. Pathetic and weak yet again from the board. The sooner we're rid of them the better.

Yes - following our win against GWS I thought we were really only giving Neeld and co a little more breathing space - but this was always going to be the end result.

Our form was hardly red hot before these two games though, was it? I'm with you on the board needing to go, but this decision was a no brainer and it wasn't just because we lost to Collingwood as you are making it sound. I honestly can't see your angle on this one.

I like your optimism, or do you have a crystal ball? I would wait to see what effort the team puts in the next month before I start judging Neeld's performance this year. If by some miracle they actually start playing cohesive football, then I will say the sacking was justified, however if our list is a pack of duds then Jeans, Barassi, Pagen and Smith rolled into one can't save them

I think Peter Jackson would have made the call...doubt the current board hold much grunt anymore...The last 6 years are testimony to that.

See I'd prefer him to stay outside of the club. He can push the success from his media position IMO. I think it's pretty [censored] poor of Moloney, despite not caring what he does on the footy field anymore. He continues to be an ass off it though.

Whether the Ox is inside the club or not...his sources are rock solid...when he speaks i listen to him

Brent Moloney is a [censored], he will burn his own bridges.

If you think the board have the final say on this, it might be worth thinking again. PJ is clearly pulling all the strings. I just hope nepotism doesn't come into his decision for coach like it did with Knights. I can't see him making that mistake again though.

Fair enough, WYL. He was certainly right on the Scully saga, though the way he dealt with it was reasonably counterproductive.

I agree with the Ox when he basically slates the players for not being man enough to respect the coach regardless of whether they like/agree with him.

It had to happen - clearly it was on the cards when Healy said what he did. It proved accurate.

What has amazed me is that in the presser The dud one said "he doesn't know what went wrong"

Really in that case he wouldn't have seen today coming!

Bring on the rest of the season

I enjoyed that bit too, DemonWA.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    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
