Pity it's only 2 years. I guess he'll have a clear pic of the club's outlook and be able to pull a much bigger paycheck then.

Yes, this pretty much sums up my feelings. And as WYL said, this season was over before our round one match was even completed. Very depressing. I'm prepared to give Neeld more time, though I think a failure to show genuine improvement in the first half of next year will trigger calls for his head that will be difficult to resist. I expect to see some heat on Cameron Schwab, too. Melbourne could really do with a top CEO, worth investing the money there I reckon. But I don't want to open up that debate again. But I feel pretty let down as a supporter, and as I said the football we produce is close to unwatchable.

I think we'll all know it when we see it wyl. I just want to enjoy watching footy again.

I will of course. I am and always will be a Demon supporter.

I've all but given up watching Melbourne play. I watch other games. I find it miserable watching the Dees. Haven't written Neeld off but this has been a shocking year. I'm not renewing my membersip or my son's next year until I see improvement. I feel the club treats it's members like muppets.

I stopped listening to Neeld early in the season. I don't care what a losing coach says. I did read today he said there were good signs in the GWS game. Reinforced why I don't listen to him. Haven't written him off. Just want to see on-field do the talking.

Liked that. Jetta and Blease a nice combo. Go Dees. All is forgiven.

Sylvia playing?

Nice. Maybe we can do it. Half the St Kilda side out.

Hopefully we can score a goal this half.

I love Jones and enjoy watching Blease. Almost everything else about Melbourne is painful to see and reflected on the scoreboard. Still no goals and we're in the second quarter.

I just watched the first quarter and think we should be renamed the Melbourne Clowns.

Paul Roos is pathetic. I used to like the show too but it has just degenerated. Roos is a mealy-mouthed joke whose sole purpose, it seems is to agree with any proposition that spud Sheahan puts up. I don't have any problem with Melbourne copping a pounding. I feel ashamed of our performances and believe we're fair game. But I just find the rest of the program light-weight. Sheahan is a good reporter but provides little insight on on-field matters -- yet he drives the discussion and Roos just nods in agreement. Then there's the Swans love-in. Seriously, it should be called ``in the pond'' not on the couch. Oh the Swans this, oh the Swans that -- it totally inverts the idea Sydney doesn't get enough coverage. I've basically stopped watching it. On the Couch is a joke.

We can't get rid of him as it would begin a total death spiral for our club. Just have to hope he can turn things around. But I'm pretty disappointed, I admit. No matter how much you're changing a club, one win by late July (GWS don't count) is just terrible. Hardwick got a string of wins in the second half of his first year. I didn't bother voting because voting to oust Neeld at this stage is voting to destroy our club.

Yeah, we tanked and it was wrong and we're paying now. But if it's going to be discussed, talk Carlton too.

No mention of his current club doing the same and clearly no problem with it. Farcical.

Pea-hearted frontrunner. I was shouted down for saying that after the Gold Coast game early last year. I can't stand him. But what would be the point of the trade table. A draft pick? We have plenty already. As the poster above said, he can do simecritical stuff and is a mature body. He's contracted. So we keep him and [censored] him on the track until he cracks and starts to do his job. I don't see the trade win now. Pick 18 from Sydney?

Jimmi C, just brilliant. Summarized the death spiral of our club.

Yep, exactly.

Richmond aren't good enough to close it out. But aside from their wins they've had 5-6 losses by under 1-2 goals. I'd dream of our Dees doing that.

Somehow tacked my response inside your quote Nasher!

Yep, I understand. I'm really struggling to tune in to watch us. Just pathetic frankly. Ugly footy and flogged week in, week out. Heightens my respect for Nate Jones though, how he just keeps going. But frankly, injuries or not, we're a miserable team and I'm struggling for optimism on 2013. I don't see any light.

Cook was a wasted pick. Need to face facts. Gysberts questionable too.

Scully lost nothing leaving Melbourne. One win the difference and no scrutiny and stacks of cash in Sydney. Thread title just silly. I really fear for our club right now. Little to get excited about.
