the wet will suit our game style, gold coast have good skills and stuff but we play scrappy contested football, so the conditions and ground are in our favour

It's crazy isn't it, I mean the crows aren't even that good, can't see them making the 8 this year without Tex

Crows might top our 148 point loss here, looking pretty bad for the Giants, in the 4th quarter and the scumdog millionaire has 8 touches.

It's a nice change isn't it, is it possible to swap rodan or davey for sellar yet though? if it's wet surely another big body would be good around the ball

The win loss ratio is frustrating, but Neeld has not had his best 22 on the park together at all, let alone for a few rounds, so we have no idea what our best is like. So for me at this point, we couldn't resign him, but sacking him would also be harsh, he is contracted for a good part of two more years, we may as well give him more time and hopefully we will get to see exactly where we are at later in the year.

I wonder who is going to kick their goals, we have options up forward, without dixon i can't see who is going to kick them a bag and give them a winning score, guys like frawley should be too good for their direct opponent.

They couldn't work it out from all the money falling out of his socks?

Even Mitch Clark is playing better since arriving at Melbourne, then you consider Tapscott, matt jones, Grimes, Sylvia, Gawn, Howe, Terlich, Garland, Evans, and probably more are all playing their best footy, the step up in Training may well be starting to pay off.

James Frawley crushing a few rumours and putting pen to paper would also be a good show of faith, would be thrilled if that happened.

Really Keen for this one, Should win, get to see Dawesy in action for the first time besides the one quarter in the NAB cup! Bring on the suns!

Hopefully we can hang onto him for longer than six months

This bloke would win a brownlow at a stronger club, i really hope we can get him the win he deserves today!

Off topic but i hope we make Toovey an offer at the end of this year, would love him in the Red and Blue, and for the record, i prefer Neeld to Buckley as coach

I don't want to get laughed at every time we play or i tell someone i am a Melbourne supporter it's that simple. i'm sure we will be good again in time but noone respects us right now and we don't deserve respect so hopefully we can earn abit of that back I don't mind if Neeld stays coach, i don't wanna hear we are happy with a 5 goal loss to brisbane, you might be Neeldy but i am betting noone else is.

Best coach going around in my opinion.

I get you aren't a fan, but to say he has done nothing is a little bit unfair.

Watching the grand final rematch tonight and it's insane the difference in quality of basic skills between us and these sides, can't wait until we play like that one day down the track.

yeah i agree, too many decisions made in the heat of the moment, he has the good part of two more seasons to show us why he is the right man for the job, and the old saying is that the last place you improve is on the field, so i think he should at the very least get this year

I have always believed when you match hard work with talent you get success, Trengove works as hard as anyone and he is loaded with talent, so when he gets his body in order and a full pre season i have no doubt he will make alot of people look silly, these are the things we just need to keep faith in, a couple of these blokes have break out years and we get our best team on the park not just for one week but for several in a row, see what our absolute best footy is like, we can judge from there but the point is, we're calling for Neelds head on a win loss ratio and things like that, which is understandable and probably fair enough, But how can someone say the bloke can't coach fullstop, none of us have seen our best 22 on the park together for one game, let alone the several rounds in a row they would need to find top form. We really just don't know

Me too! just about spat my coffee all over the shop

Neelds program is getting alot our of some of these guys, others may have been abit lazy and that's probably why they are no longer with us, Tapscott is hard and tough, and he has a red hot crack and for me that's all anyone could ask of a player in a struggling team

we have been pretty unlucky, a full pre season into trengove and clark, and take injuries away from them and dawes and we may have been more competitive, the point being it's hard to judge Neeld on that, if you took cloke and Lynch out of collingwood they wouldn't be anywhere near as dangerous

He's building a foundation but we don't know if he can take us any further, it wouldn't be wise.

If hawks don't win the flag this year we could potentially have Roo's, worsfold and clarkson on the market

It's nice isn't it wouldn't be surprised if Terlich spends more time in the middle for another solid body against the suns
