Press Conference Called.

I think it will be a statement say that the Club and players realise the disappointment and frustration of the supporters at the performance. The Club is working hard to improve those performances and is seeking the continued support of members and supporters as it develops its players.

You don't happen to work in the PR department do you Rhino? Worthy of Wordsworth!

    Why was Neitz kept? If the football department was half as competent as you, they would have realised they could have put Jeff White on the veterans list and had more room to move with the salary cap. Or perhaps we didnt want more room in our salary cap as we cant afford it, due to a number of reasons, which I wont go into.

    Who would get promoted if Neitz retired? I'd say Valenti. Therefore Neitz playing (and I use that term loosely) is not allowing us to develop our list.

    As for Holland and Robbo, Holland would be a much cheaper alternative to Neitz and more useful as a player in 2008, and Robbo had more to offer the Melbourne FC at the end of 2007 than Neitz. The leadership argument does not hold up. We've got Neitz in charge and we're 0-4. Had it been Isaac Weetra as captain we'd still be 0-4. The leadership group is a rabble and the man in charge of that leadership group has been in charge for the last 6 or 7 years, and it continues to be a rabble whilst he's in charge. A change in leadership was probably the way to go.

    So Rhino tell us all, why did Neitz continue in the first place? My argument is he did so to be the face of the club in it's 150th year. To me, that goes against everything Bailey is trying to do at the club.

    All I can think of is that it's a very long and indepth press conference and no journo's are allowed to leave to break the story until it's actually finished.

    Which makes me edgy. Long press conferences are almost never good news.

    Either that, or AFL Journos are pathetic... let's see which it is.

    Have they mentioned anything about it this morning?

    Do SEN even know it is happening?

    I would expect this sort of inept reporting by a mob like 5aa here in Adelaide....

    But not from SEN....

    Sports Entertainment Network my arse!

    They seem to entertain themselves more than listeners.

    The lack of news makes me think there is nothing going on.

    uami,

    I dont think it was a salary cap issue. I honestly believe that Neitz thought he was still capable of providing leadership and a KPP influence. And the given the Club's lack of both lead them to acquiensce to the decision. I wish we had ready replacements for both roles. We dont and the Club had a decision to make. As for Neitz I think its a case of players not knowing just when their time is up. You see it alot with cricketers and footballers. Its a smart player that can clearly understand their time is up especially after doing it for 15+ years.

    You are very knoweledgeable with hindsight now. There is no doubt that Neitz has deteriorated from last year. There is no evidence that Robbo and Holland offer any solutions to us. Robbo's continually dragged during games and must be on the edge of being dropped. We had him on the trade table and we should have traded him without doubt. He is exactly the sort of player who would not fit DB's requirements.

    The 150th issue is a furphy and out of character for a guy who has been a valiant foot soldier to the Club and not sort to be selfish throughout his career. And given that goes against what you believe DB is trying to do at the Club should make you think twice about the veracity of your speculation.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
