He was pretty harsh and acknowledged it.

Whilst refreshing, Neeld was pretty harsh too I just hope he doesn't put too many people off side by rubbishing everything the club has done.

He didn't rubbish anyone. He has been a CEO for many, many years at the top level. Neeld was a novice who thought he had it all figured out. Point of difference!

He [censored] slapped Connolly on national TV, and then in the same sentence remarked that the club doesn't need the best former red 'n blue people, it simply needs the best people. It was breathtakin

First time poster. Love the [censored] off look on Healy's face when he read between the lines that his good mate CC is GONE!

Hi all, Just a heads up that Peter Jackson will be on the couch on Fox Footy on Monday night. Should be interesting.

Agreed, just because its obvious and everyone in footy knows it, doesn't mean it needs to be said.

That's gotta be a lesson learned from the Neeld disaster

Everything our club has done recently is rubbish though.

PJ is in a different role to a coach. He isn't working one on one with a young playing list. He is working with experienced men who deserve a kick up the bum. Players don't come into [censored] poor administrative decisions, and they aren't to blame for crap development. In fact, our players have suffered more than most because of our horrible mismanagement.

He basically narrowed the coaching field down to Roos, Eade and Choco.

No mention of Craig, though he wasn't asked so I wouldn't rule him out completely. He wouldn't volunteer it if not asked.

But certainly no possibility of a rookie coach.

I don't know what to read from that, he had a bit of a sneaky grin on his face at the end, CC is gone and thank The Lord for that, Geoff Walsh is a big chance and Roos isn't, pencil in Williams or Eade, very harsh words about former red and blue employees, you would think that would be CC , CS and Gary Lyon, very hard man to read.

I realise this, I just got the feeling the MFC was "them" to him, not "us" so it was pretty easy to bag the club out from that point of view.

we were interviewing Williams last week, things may well be further along than we realise.

Best thing we have going at the club at this stage. We are at rock bottom finally someone who will not settle for second best I really hope this guy hangs around and gets the full support of the board not many will survive after years end and we will be starting from as far back as the expansion clubs probably further

Can't believe they didn't ask him about Craig.

Said he was interested in getting the best people, and felt there had been too much readiness to get Melboume people rather than the best people from outside.

Made special mention of decisions to remove leadership out of the locker room that has hurt the club (so refreshing to hear someone state this publicly).

Acknowledged the failures in player development, and noted that in the internal reports he had read, there was a sense of purely relying on high draft picks rather than the actual development side.

I am beginning to think there wasn't a whole lot of one on one time with Neeldy and the players.

I think they thought he was a cold blooded and the only thing that was one on one was the whip.

I hope he appoints a coach who can communicate to the players on a personal level and someone who the players want to win for (malthouse)

Blame Gerard Healy, more interested in his old mate Chris Connolys future, rather than asking a more relevant one about Craig. Disappointing and selfish by Healy.

He can view us as an "it" for all I care. He's assessed the situation and knows what it will take to fix it. There is zero [censored] factor with this guy.

Everything he said was spot on.

Removing leaders from the locker room

Relying on high draft picks for success

Poor player developlment

The old boys club mentality

I love PJ. I hope he gets us Geoff Walsh.

    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

    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
