The Morton!! another mid! Rucks are young but have potential. This is the way to go. Solid defence.

Faith my friend!

Fitz/Spencer=note Fitzy been kicking butt in the Magoos?

sylvia/McK/Moloney/Gyssy are mids?

For some reason every time I see your name I feel like quoting Couldabeens:) Mubutu is the league in SuperCoach?

Hei Lobster! Wish I was there now!! Freezzinngggg! bout 4 months of the year Lobster. Don't forget to cut and paste your prediction back to me Sunday night...31 certainly has a ring to it

It was Melbourne or Ocean Grove for Neeld. Try to understand this concept. No other club wanted him including Collingwood. Buckley also wanted a clear out.

Common now boys. Green was Captain under Bailey. I do recall him as a sub?? Bailey at least won a few games . He was hands tied to some point to the extent ..a la the TANK. Thus the need was not as great to drop Moloney. Not sure Moloney should have been dropped under Bailey's reign anyway. Stop defending Neeld. Let him show something. All agreed apart from RR (who only wants to commit to next year 2013) that Neeld will coach to at least 2014. No sense in bagging out on Bailey or Daniher. Finals were nice under ND so not sure what that's about!! Can recall one Finals game V Crows at the G . UP WHITEY we would chant!! Went close but lost. If Melbourne plays finals under Neeld will be 2015 or later...new contract necessary and that's too far down the track. See how we go Sunday. No excuses if we can't beat GC.

Yes such excitement! You can just feel the solidarity! mmmmm inhale and exxxxhaaaleeee!!! ahhhhhh! Hang on ... Is that RR peeing at the front gate again!

If no clear winner will award to the closest call.

gibert macadam and possible melbourne draftee Sharod Wellingham going for DEEEES

write a very firm letter of complaint

IMO Agree on a plan to fast track Williams. He looks promising. I think we have enough Saad and Milera types. Introduce another key forward. Someone that resembles either Cloke or the Hulk and our existing mids and small forwards will lift for sure. Note must be a player that can actually hold a mark and kick a ball not simply split packs and punch the ball away i.e. Sellar. A good example was the Essendon game. Clark far from dominated but his sheer presence as a target lifted the entire team. Melbourne were just starting to get some steam up.

No agreed it won't help. Seems by your comment there is some regrets in relation to Bailey's sacking. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

LJ I say!

had me excited Paul!! Thought he got the call up V Gold Coast. He's the type of guy that could put his footy gear on, rush to the ground after not playing for 6 weeks and boot 5. I'd pick him V GC.

Keep saying it! How about leigh williams? Worth the risk?

Got us close but no biscuit!

Very welcome Rob Mac= don't forget to keep a track on your prediction and copy paste it back to me in this forum when you get home from the game on Sunday. Pants will be in the Post on the Monday. If successful privately email addy to [email protected] or message me through this site

Yossarian The premise of the question does not ask if we like or support Neeld full stop or do we support him till the end of his contract. Even RR cannot commit himself to that given he suggests the position should be at the same time next year. "Should Mark Neeld continue on as coach into season 2013?" Hello? Captain Obvious HELLO!!!! Why answer such a silly question and one that is purely put up to cause division in Demonland and angst for others RR sees as a risk to his "King Pin" Status. How about 2014 or perhaps until the end of his Contractual obligation? How about...Do you think Mark Neeld is the right guy to lead Melbourne in the Long term. Do you think Mark Neeld is a good communicator/motivator/media performer or Coach? As Tonatopia suggests sure it's encouraging to see support for Neeld to continue on NEXT YEAR but surprising some don't think he should. Next year is almost upon us!!! For the record I have clearly stated Neeld is not under threat and will Coach well into his third year. (But so what if I don't think that-should it matter?) The only way a change at the end of this season would occur is if Neeld resigned and it won't happen. RR is simply being his usual divisive self and stomping on anyone caring to express an opinion in the same robust fashion he does. A little like a dog peeing, growling and barking on the front gate to mark his territory. He has demonstrated in his "culling most of the current players" posts a poor understanding IMO of kids playing in first, second or third years and how these guys need a mentor to develop further not simply given the flick because they haven't picked up on two vastly different and questionable game plans.(Neeld's and Bailey's) On top of this his calls to boot out Brad Green is also questionable judgement given Green has given years of blood, sweat and tears and doesn't seem over the hill to me. To the contrary Green will mentor the new guys as they develop. He may retire and good on him if he does. Davey is in the same category. A message to our higher power (and that's not you RRover) please help Demonland if we are guided down the path of being influenced to block Members that simply happen to be different. Wouldn't it get a little boring in here?

Congratulations Jimmyc. Well written pc. I say Watts and Blease belongs in the A Category or at least next year they will. Are you suggesting we culled Bailey a little early?

Yes recall that much..why did they refer to him as "the prince"

Love this!
