    I wonder how many Bummer fans with long memories are uncomfortable with the appointment of Whelan the Wrecker to their staff after his treatment of their Golden Boy in a final . Personally , I would be devastated if , for example, Dean Wallis ever got a gig with us after his targetting of the teenage Brad Green in the 2000 G.F.

    I remember that, but what involvement, if any, did Neeld and Craig have in that action? I thought the doctor acted on his own. Your post suggests that Neeld and Craig were somehow directly involved in the matter. I'm not sure that they were.

    when did recommended/offered become supplied?

    i believe(?) also that in cream form it can just be obtained by prescription

    It was for the foot.

    We demand a refund!

    I personally rate Craig as a coach and person, he's a good man and knows his stuff.

    Neeld was a the wrong fit for our club, but Collingwood can't speak highly enough of him even now so he may do well,

    I have a lot of time for Neil Craig. Top Bloke, but i wish he had stood up and taken more control once Neeld had lost the players.

    He even admitted the same. He was too passive

    Always rated Craig as a good sergeant.

    Some people are just good at certain things and should never be given the reins.

    I think Craigy did the best with what he had when he was caretaker. He was given a bum hand and there wasn't much he could have done to turn the place around.

    You are right WYL. I remember Craig saying at a presser that he could see things going wrong during Neeld's tenure and that he wish he had said more. The question that would need to be asked though is: would Neeld have listened?

    They're not monsters. Neeld was merely incompetent - the club made the mistake of appointing him. I suspect that Craig was so excited by the lifestyle of a real city that he took his eyes off the ball (and got falconned).

    They're the drug cheats problem now.

    Neeld should have had no choice but to listen.

    Craig was there as a mentor. But he was too nice.

    He genuinely loved the players and probably got on well with Neeld and co.

    Probably too well. He should have stood up after Round 2 2013.

    It wasn't hard to see the club was in crisis from that moment.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
