    The game where it became obvious Mark Neeld could not coach

    ... and the meeting between the clubs before that was at the G in round 1, 2011 when the two teams drew and before that when Melbourne won by 12 goals.

    Seems like ancient history now WJ

    I remember reading our team on paper before the match and not knowing one reason why they couldn't not match it with the Swans. Especially considering a similar group dismantled them not long earlier.

    Mark Neeld was trying incredibly unsuccessfully to employ a gameplan that sucked anyway. A gameplan, that even if done well, would see us wasting the set of individual traits on our list and still losing anyway.

    From that game on I was waiting for the next Melbourne coach.

    Not only will we have a different coach, but half the team will be different. Seven players named on that day are no longer with the club and another five are questionable because of known injuries (Grimes, Blease, Jamar, McKenzie, Clark). In addition Magner can't be picked if Grimes is.

    are you getting confident?

    should we prepare 4 points?

    This will be Melbourne's best test since Neeld's departure.

    If we can remain competitive with the Swans for 4 quarters, we are most definitely on the rise.

    I'm excited for this game. I know the boys can do it.

    I was at the game in Sydney last year - got royally rolled.

    Can't help but feel that we will get rolled again this year; particularly with Tippett in.

    Happy to be proved wrong

    It grieves me to say the following because i go on and on about winning is the only thing and anything less is only a loss.

    However after our performances over the last 18 months I will be happy with a low level loss.

    i.e. anything below 6 goals will prove to me that craig is improving the side and I will be happy.

    • 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.
