    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
