Message from the President...
Pipefitter replied to The Song Formerly Known As's topic in Melbourne Demons
Watched the interview. Answered like a politician, meaning no answers. Although its too early to judge Neeld it would be easy to assume we chose the wrong guy again. We can't recruit the right players to save our lives, how would recruiting a coach be any different? Let's be frank, the only reason this club still exists Is the incredible power of an incredible man named Jim to make people buy in and contribute. Whether this correlates to appointing a board and and a football department to bring the onfield performance back to an acceptable level remains to be seen. If the afl were to walk in and appoint a board and footy department to this I wouldn't object because it's obvious as a stand alone entity we have absolutely no idea. -
Had a mate talk to a couple of senior players last week. The relationship between Neeld and the players doesn't seem rosy at the moment. Wether or not its Neelds fault or the fact that Melbourne players aren't' used to working so hard who knows. Either way, you can tell from the way we are playing there are some fairly large issues showing on the field. Theres the aspect of playing for your coach. I haven't seen them do it once this year. As terrible at times we were under Bailey he managed to most of the times get a response from the players the following week. We haven't seen this either this year.
-
There is hope. We could become a stand alone VFL club.
-
You can tell him and Moloney are on the way out of the club, They prob already have deals worked out.
-
What is the point of this? Seriously.
-
Yep he is. This is the reason why the club had to make a 19 year old captain. These "senior" boys dont care anymore.
-
Yeah the boys were out on the town celebrating another loss this weekend. I thought players generally don't get wasted during the season. Or is that just all there other clubs. Sigh.
-
I watched the replay. The players are so focussed on their opponent, often when the ball spills free they are trying to bump their opponent. They need to see the ball and grab it. To neeld, this not the way you play footy. Until you let the boys have a fair crack we will get belted every week. I'm not sure what this game plan is achieving other than losing, and probably losing members.

Game night thread: Melbourne v Hawthorn
Pipefitter replied to Range Rover's topic in Melbourne Demons
Sylvia can pack his bags. And to Moloney, good luck any other club picking you up. -
I can guarantee you this is all to get the best possible contract at Melbourne.
-
Watched the VFL highlights package. He moved very well. Can't wait for him to get back in.
-
He ran one quarter with an elite player and was finished after that. Along way off having the fitness, desire, etc etc to be an elite footballer.

Something is def up With him. Everytime I see him he is running head down getting completely burned off by opposition.
-
In: frawley, Clark, Out: sellar, Dunn,
-
Sellar is a Ben holland clone. He's just big. Can't get a touch. I guess he's role was just to create a contest but at this level, it's just not good enough. Made good position, couldn't hold one mark. I must say, i thought we were tanking tonight when McDonald lined up on rooey, but what a job he did. Trengove and watts fitness levels are not afl level. We need to get these guys up ASAP.
-
That ruckman was Rhys stanley. Actually one of the quickest men in the league.
-
Not fit enough. Another preseason away. Start to get a glimpse of how ferocious neeld wants us to play.
-
I want to see a win. Watching us get belted every week is getting very boring. Going with my inlaws tonight who are all saints members. Going to be a rough night.
-
If there is a buddy Franklin hanging round the top 5 then obviously get him, if not midfielders all the way.

Melbourne Supporters & Our Kids - I Need Your Advice
Pipefitter replied to a topic in Melbourne Demons
Its usually supporters bagging other teams. We are so woeful we have to turn on their own. -
The herald sun digital pass.

Magner hasn't been found out. Wasn't he doing a shut down role on Boyd? If it was him he really shut him out of the game. Just has to work out how to hurt them going the other way.

More positives. For a player who has only been here for 4 games, Mitch Clark did our jumper and in particular that number proud.
