Neeld needs to be sacked immediately, the players are not playing for him & it sticks out like dogs balls. Someone like Garry Lyon should just say righto let me have these blokes for a few weeks & tell theses pathetic players to start to play for the jumper, fans & themselves.

I've heard Melbourne are coming to be the next team in the WAFL, they might be a top 6 chance

I don't think the AFL will allow them to merge of fold but they must be close to having the rug pulled out from under them.

The AFL must be a little lost as the Bulldogs seem to be going okay at the moment. It'd be a little hard to tell them to merge with Melbourne.

I think it would be a sad day for Footy in general if Melbourne were to be wound up.

I would hope an agreement could be reached by where they could return back to the VFL, where they may have a chance to survive financially - even as a feeder club.

It was interesting to read the interview with the Fremantle CEO a few weeks ago where he was talking about the impact that Ross Lyon has had on the culture of the whole club ( not just the playing group). He has imposed processes and standards that were far above anything else experienced at the club and all staff at Freo are now expected to maintain these standards ( including board members). I think the results are now starting to show on field. I think Melbourne badly need a 'Ross Lyon' type coach as Neeld looks like he is out of his depth.

Neeldy looks as though he is about to cry on many ocassions. A leader should not show such weak emotions. Neeld may very be a good tactical coach but he cant handle the head job!!
Assistant coach is his calling.
I agree with you Anchorman with the rudderless ship comment.
There were 3 or 4 good passages of play from the Demons against the Bombers. Good run, kicks & marks. They just don't have any leaders. Judging from the game Viney should be captain next year, the rest are joke. Their recruiting of mature aged experience is pathetic. They need an Ablett, a Boyd or Watson... Every other team has a genuine star in the middle.... They should have a lot of room in their salary cap next year, lets see if their recruiting can pick up.

They had the Eagles on toast today, but couldn't maintain the effort - wonder why? Schwab's gone, McL should go, Connelly too and tell Gary Lyon to concentrate on his golf. They need to clean out the whole cupboard. There's got to be plenty of execs out there without any baggage that would bring a new, clean approach.

They obviously need fitness trainers over there.
The Demons cannot run 4 quarters. Who needs skill training if you can't get the ball.
