50 Years A Demon

Sorry correction $2million spent on him in the last 4 years, not 2 years, sorry for the typo

Time to get rid of one of the remnants of the nightmare Neeld era - DAWES fair dinkum this bloke is not worth $500 a year let alone $500k a year. How in the hell could he miss everything in the last quarter and kick out on the full, he is useless and needs to go, a waste of a first round draft pick being given away for him and $2million spent on him in the last two years. Enjoy your time trying to pick up money playing at local footy next year, your are past AFL footy, you were 4 years ago when Neeld made one of his many poor judgements.

We had for the first 3 weeks......average of 100+.............................. loosing margin that is.

Hudo is a [censored] !

Sorry, maybe I am dumb, but struggling to see what good can come from loosing to GWS ?????

I am not a Neeld fan, comes across OK in the Media, but rekon that he is too hard on players, being a coach is fine fine, you can't be their mate but you can earn their respect and they will do anything for them, I can't see that the way the players go about things at the moment.. Having said that nothing to be gained by waving good bye to him during the season, only causes more unrest and potential GOOD future coaches may be reluctant to consider us. Also means that we have to as well as paying the $500k board cave in on the not guilty tanking we also have to pay 3 years worth of contract for Neeld for one season and 4 weeks. Let him turn up for the rest of season (I didn't say let him coach for the rest of the season casue he can't coach) then let the new president and CEO work on a move forward position with a tried and proven coach not another unknown or unproven one.

Agree with others anyone who knew about this in the club needs to walk now. I can't believe how dumb anyone could be realizing that SMS's are leaking and would only be a matter of time before we were named and yet they chose to stay silent. Any sympathy that AFL may have had about our plight as being the whipping team of the league would have vapourised with the club failing to be open honest and transparent, it would appear that within our club at the moment multiple instances have shown that honesty and integrity are nothing more than words.

You have me mixed up with Jack 7 as he jumped ship to Richmond last year, not me, couldnt think of anything worse, well maybe a few teams. Sorry but there is a concept as 50 years a demon cause that's how long I have followed them, just realised that next year will 50 years since we have won a premiership, but who's counting, sadly I reckon GWS will be holding up silverware in September long before we ever do again.

After 50 years and the emotion and passion running at the moment, I have now signed up to have my say. Got mixed thoughts on Schwabb going, has helped turn us around financially, and still struggle to understand how a CEO can direcly impact on playing performances. Never been a big fan of Neeld and the lack inspiration in his pre prematch address should be holding Neeld more accountable, not a CEO. I have always thought that the little turd Chris Connoly was behind some of the back room stir ups, still think he had numbers on himself coming over and coaching us, thank god he never did, hopefully the new CEO will give him the flick. Just had an interesting call from the MFC, I had another call coming in and had to cut short the person from the club short but suspect that they were chasing why I hadn't renewed my membership this year. Call what ever you like, but is my own personal protest on a $500k fine from the AFL when the club chose to cave in and accept it and not fight it, think what we could have done with an extra $500k ! Just thought the timing of the call was interesting in that it was not that long after Schwabb standing down, wonder if there has been a directive internally to start following up with non paid up members to see if attitude has changed now that the 1st sacraficial lamb has found the chopping block. Had the leaders called the AFL's bluff and challenged the handing down of the fine when the club was not found guilty we could have saved a lot of money. Oh yeah and before I forget, looking through this website, which I think is great, I am intrigued about the 3 faces on the right hand side at the top of the website. The other 5 are all legends for Melbourne, and it is insulting to have 3 that have done nothing to prove themselves in such prominence next to legends. The Ox better deserves to be there before them, fighting back from 3 knee reco's becuase of his passion for the club and the game, just wish that some of that past passion would rub off on them.
