People should not forget his contribtution to this club. We may not have the flag we are craving so badly but lets face it our list was terrible when he came here. He turned us into a household name that consistently made finals. I wasn't around in the 70'sor early 80's but I don't think we made the finals too often in that period. Very much an attacking coach who got us playing that kind of footy. I really hope he does coach again and all the best in future because he is an exceptional coach. Thankyou Neale You gave it your best

This is becoming a joke! We get kicked off by the former whipping boy of the competition. I really think that we have taken that role now we just get pushed over a little too much for my liking

I think we have enough defenders who can't kick

I have to agree with YM here. It might not just be Melbourne supporters but there are just some supporters who go to the game as if they are watching it at home. I remember being at the final in 05 against the cats and being in those seats that had barely any leg room, getting up for people to go past and just hitting the seat in front with my knee unintentionally and the guy told me to go easy on the seat! sorry but soft***ks really bug me. Someone I know got told off for clapping too loud!Don't go if you can't put up with it! honestly

We might be young (I'm 21) But we understand how bloody scary it is that we could have years more of this crap! Don't get me wrong I feel so sorry for the older guys I mean at least I've seen us in finals but the thought that the next 10-15 years could be just wiped out is not very appealing. Unless something really changes round this club I could certainly not see it happening in the next 5.

I hear both of ya! Loud and clear!

I thought Jeff White finding some form today was a huge positive. As well as Bate, Petterd and Bell.

To be quite honest I'm getting a bit sick of changing rules for the sake of changing rules. First its the choppingthe arms rule which I still don't agree with, then there's the mark in the goal square going straight back rule (what is the point). I'm sure there are more but this hands in the back one takes the cake. It is so inconsistent its not funny. Bunch of bs. A few weeks ago I went to the game against Freo with a friend who knew nothing about the game and explaining it was the hardest thing to do because there are just too many rules that are inconsistenly enforced. I would hate to be learning how to play this game right now!

Yeah I'd also like to hear how Buckley went. I know he was close to coming in for the Port game.

Ah yes the old 'prawn sandwiches' comments. Loved it at the time and love it now!

Hey can play Jacey!

Green would be the best option. Give him a chance before giving it to Johnson or whatever. If he can just get a few nice lace out passes to him the rest could follow!

If the right coaching decisions are made we are in with a chance. If I see any stupid match-ups from the first bounce it could be a long day

May as well do a topic like this. At least its a change of thinking

It just sucks knowing that when we are good our use of the football is supposidly brilliant. Today it was deplorable. I'm not positive, I'm not negative I honestly don't know what to think about Melbourne anymore.

I'll name one. The Kangaroos, I just really wanna try this out it seems fun. Even though I pretty much agree with what you said

Was at the game today. Quite an extraordinary shootout. Sylvia really impressed me and could be back next week. Yze was solid and his decision making was good when it counted. Garland really showed that he is one to watch. In short apart from Peter Summers who was the obvious BOG I thought Sylvia was the best demon and special mention to Buckley who i'm gonna enjoy watching for the zebs!

Thompson chose to go back home and well done to him for his success over there but in doing this he turned his back on the MFC and that makes him a traitor.
