If Mark Neeld only has to offer what he is copying from his Collingwood experience then we are doomed as this would mean he has no ability as a coach in his own right ???? Think about that people !!!Sounds ominous doesn't it ???? Help !!!

Please Explain !!! lol God we still have a sense of humour (some of us at least)

Maybe it's a family tradition ?? let's hope we are attracting supporters of the younger brigade from families outside of those whom have traditionally supported the Dees in the past.

Very close to my sentiments. Sad, because I so love this Football Club and have never even thought about supporting any other AFL Team....Let's hope we rise again... I said HOPE ....

On recent history, you will be "done with them" after the Essendon game this week ?? At your age maybe you are planning on being drafted by some AFL Club and showing the Melbourne boys how to play the game ?? But don't give up as easily as you are prepared to give up your support for the Dees , will you ?? Maybe that's what's wrong with some of our current crop of players. They "give up" too easily.. The Cub doesn't need that type of individual.

I may have been a supporter/ member of this club a little longer (in fact 50 Years) and I assure you it WAS once a GREAT Club, which is partly the reason I am saddened to see how it has slowly virtually self destructed.

I agree with your reference to Jim Stynes passing.. I noted at the time how the players seemed so affected emotionally at Jim's funeral etc., but came out the week after just as disinterested as they previously were .. I was totally shocked and puzzled at the seemingly lack of passion thereafter. I just feel that the MFC has lost all the desire it had shown in the years that made it one of the Great Clubs of the competition. The current breed of players do not (in my opinion) seem to possess the bond , desire or winning attitude of those from the past.

Sick to death of comments like "yet to see the response" We have had it for years now and while we have occasionally turned up the following week and looked inspired for a while it very quickly falls back into the same old lethargy the very next game.. Sorry had enough of that.. It's time this club came up with something more constructive and Positive !!! It will be sadly goodbye to many members at the end of 2013 if we cannot get this once great club moving in a totally different direction than it currently is !!!

NO way !! Watts must be assigned to Casey Scorpions.. No more "let's see what he can do" WE have already seen what he can't do and that's cut it at this level.. He is far too soft and has a few mates..We need players that take on the game, make the play and have opposing coaches worrying about how to counter them NOT as you say being assigned to stick to an opposition player like "[censored] to a blanket" !!! That's part of our problem... we are trying to counter ,instead of being the ones that other coaches should be "countering"..!! What a negative un attacking attitude !! Had enough of this culture...That's what's wrong with this once great club !!!

Unfortunately, that's what's wrong with many attitudes in our Club.... We have been asked so many times over the past couple of years to "Just wait and see the response" It has gone way past a joke now.

"Supporters should get a life" etc.?? (your quote) How many Supporters do YOU think may have played AFL/VFL (pre AFL) football. Your comment is too general and totally out of context. They are not questionong how F**ng hard football is just how hard it seeems to be for many Melbourne Demons players as compared for example to players from Port Adelaide.. The Dees were a bloody disgrace on Sunday .. end of story !! IF they WERE interested and doing their best , then we seriously have to take a very very serious look at around three quarters of our current List don't you think ???? I love this Football Club but I haven't liked where it has been heading for the past few years.

"WATTS" he doing in this football team ??? That's all I ask Heard enough excuses about this guy. Get the beard off !! Get the Melbourne jumper off and wear a Casey one. He is not and probably never will be an AFL Senior footballer.All he ever was was a "poncey" standout Schoolboy player and Melbourne Football Club had no good reason to bloody well pick him as a number one draft pick !!! I will say RIGHT now as I did over two years ago this guy will NEVER succeed at AFL Senior level. What a waste of a number one pick. WE seem to have a record of making bad draft selections ..THAT also seems to be part of our culture.

I have NEVER felt so ashamed, disheartened, devastated, demoralised and shattered.... Sorry but Neeld and the rest of the Coaching staff resposible for the Shambles I saw today have surely "fallen on their swords" After all, Neeld has put his neck on the line by saying we expected improvement and that he couldn't wait for today's game......I am sick to death of hearing how Members like me should be patient , give them time etc.,etc.. I have listened to these kinds of comments and read that sort of absolute crap for far too long.... Sorry but my Membership is being cancelled this year affter what I saw today... I am now broken Hearted and just as "interested" as players such as Watts (bloody soft disgrace) Frawley (Far too slow) Garland,, No Idea how to read the play or make a clever decision, Tapscott (prancing around like a mini Arnold Schwarzenegger and just as big a Show Pony) Sellars (no football brain) Dunn ( should have been traded) Sylvia( No Zip) Many more players of the previous NO Heart Ilk from Years past... Only shining lights VINEY, BLEASE (why the hell was he the Sub ???) Sack the selectors who made THAT decision WHATEVER their reasonong !!! Jordie McKenzie (battled his guts out) Nicholson tried hard, Jones Gave his all until exhausted !! All our new players tried bloody hard but could hardly have shone on their debuts in a team that gave them no support !! No more Excuses !! There ARE none left... We were unguided with absolutely NO idea how to execute anything that remotely resembled a game plan.... Pity Help us going forward... We simply CANNOT tolerate this current obviously uninspiring Leadership.... How embarrassed would people like Ronald Dale Barassi be Feeling ????? I am too upset to continue but I could write many more words if I could only bring myself to continue ..... Such a sad Day... p.s. I am in my 60's and have supported Melbourne Footy club for nigh on 50 years !!!
