Micky Dee, I like several things you have suggested but did you have to be so condescending toward Mark Neeld? That disrespect undermines your positive message.

I would like everyone to compare this strategy with the one being promoted on the "Our Club Needs Unity" thread

I'm going to paste a comment I made on another post, for two reasons. One... I want to keep this thread in view, and Two... it touches on the role we supporters can play in an immediate turn around. "... I think Robbie was trying to add perspective, which I think he is well placed to provide. I believe he is right about that observation. For those who think this is the first time our club, or any other, has been faced with dire on-field issues... think again. The immediate challenge is how to get a better performance from the 22 blokes who take the field this week. That is where the combined effort should be directed, and I include the supporter group when I speak of the combination. I have nothing but contempt for those who think denegrating the current list is an answer for the lack of confidence being displayed at this time. From little things, big things grow. It is time for the rank and file to display the internal fortitude that is being demanded of the playing group. The media enjoys the spectacle of headless chooks!"

Cudi... "The reason I fail to feel sorry for these players is because I am almost certain it is a mind thing. I think it's all in their head. They need to eradicate that and part of that is on the administration and coaching team to assist them to make that transition, so no one should avoid scrutiny. This team is not without talent. It is just grossly lacking confidence and a drive to win." ... I totally agree

148 > 186... Bailey was far better than Neeld.
waynewussell replied to Pitchy's topic in Melbourne Demons
Here's another perspective... Alistair Clarkson won 10 of his first 40 games as Hawthorn coach Damien Hardwick won 11 of his first 40 games as Hawthorn coach I think the major concern is the nature of the losses that MFC are experiencing in 2013 (reminds me of Bailey's first few - 104 pts & 95 pts) There is a limit to how much of this under-performance we should accept, but I suggest the tipping point is well beyond round two of Neeld's second season. -
Here's a chance to give something back to a club that has been copping it from all sides for six months. We were made the scapegoats for the practice of extracting the most desirable draft picks from a disappointing season. We have been crucified by media knobs who have vested interests. Melbourne people have been under attack so often from far and wide that it has become a sport. Last night I sat beside four opposition supporters who spent the whole evening ridiculing Melbourne players. Their key targets were Watts, Davey and Clark. When Davey snapped his first goal I jumped up and got right in their faces. But I did it with a smile on my dial and they weren't too sure of how to respond. When Davey kicked his second, miraculous, goal I jumped up again and gave them more of the same. I told them that it would only get worse every time he goaled. Davey didn't snag another, but you know what? They stopped bagging Davey from that point on. Sometimes you have to stand up and support your own!

Love the humour KC

Jamar did not lose every tap... His problem is that the taps, generally, don't find our midfield and that he doesn't contribute enough around the ground or up forward.

Without KC there is no update

Roostit, binman and others here should sign on to the UNITY thread
