Love the Bugle Boy. Hate the blazer. Hate that Bugle Boy only plays to the MCC.

Putting up with [censored]? He is delivering us pure unadulterated sh!!t. Week after week of sh!!t.

I would love to know what it is that people see in Mark Neeld? He is all talk. I can't see a more defensive game plan. We are conceding more points than ever. This probably isn't true, but if it is, it's shocking. He is a first round draft pick.

It's not about how great 2011 was, it's about how bad 2012 is.

If this is true.. imagine what would have happened if Bailey got them to train properly??!!! Suddenly 8 and 1/2 wins becomes 10 or 11 and we MAKE FINALS. Neeld's got them throwing up after every sesh and we can't win a quarter. Wow, class difference.

Aussie can't come back to Melbourne FC. We have a new game plan, we don't kick goals any more.

I totally agree. Worst season ever. Not all Mark Neeld's fault. We had the Davey racism thing, Jurrah getting locked up, recent All Australian defender James Frawley's terrrible form, then the things that are Neeld's fault; the previous leadership group shunted, the current LG's non-performance, the reigning B&F's transformation into our worst player, and last but not least, our complete inabitlity to score or defend. We have the scoring potency of the worst team Ross Lyon ever put on the park, and the defensive fortitude of the American Samoa National Soccer Team. I think James Hird and Mark Thompson's first 2 years at Essendon has put Matthew Knights performance into perspective. I think Mick Malthouse's performances next year, will make Brett Ratten look like the pretty good coach he is. (They have been belting us for while). Likewise, When you look at the results of Melbourne this year, one thing to me, is obvious. Dean Bailey was not the tactically flawed coach that the media and industry knuckle draggers had us believe. The guy who sent his players out and said; "Kick lots of goals, but don't worry about defending." I know none of this is new, but I'm saying it anyway. We are stuck with Neeld for 2 more seasons, that is a fact. But our players come from the same drafts as everybody elses. We consistantly kicked over 100 points last year, we had Brad Green captaining Australia. Nothing has changed from 2011 to 2012 but the coaching panel, and we are a shadow of the team Dean Bailey was sacked from. Take away the expansion clubs, we have one win for the year. This rubbish David Misson was saying early in the year about the team being unfit, was him simply protecting his back. The club has been starting pre season in September for 20 years for God sake. Neil Craig is, I'm sorry.. a dud. Look at how Adelaide are going. As far I'm concerned, 186 was an aberation caused by club politics. I wanted DB's head at the time, but with hindsight, when you look at the facts and stats. When you ignore the spin. Disolving the previous caching panel and appointing Neeld and Co. has proved to be a very, very bad decision. I think he will be safe for next year, too many people will have too much egg on there face if they don't give him 2 years at least. But on current evidence, he is the worst coach currently in the AFL. (Bulldogs bloke is a close second). Please prove me wrong Mark Neeld.

Gysberts is a first round draft pick, coming back from a massive injury lay off. Silly to say hes on thin ice or what not. Brad Green is a proven AFL player, as if we can afford to cut him loose. I love how people think you make your team better, by GETTING RID of players. The exception is Cale Morton. I'm sure he's a good guy, but it's pretty embarrassing having him out there for the Dee's.

The last thing I heard on SEN is that they are going to remove all our 2012 premiership points!!! ALL SIX OF THEM!!!

MARK NEELD. We currently have a percentage worse than 2008. We are the easiest team in the comp to play, not the hardest. LAST WEEK WE LOST TO PORT????!!!

"footnote: Compare to Deledio. Deledio is quick, dangerous and wins the footy to create and kick goals. " Watts had a bad game. But to compare Deledio to Watts? Deledio is a 10 year player, lifetime member of the club, he's at his peak. Watts is just starting out, don't like the comparison.
