    They play crap footy and we are all tired of it. Get on with it Melbourne. You're a waste of a game per week.

    Not until after we play them again, please.

    Re: Neeld Sacked

    Been dead man walking for most of this year. I don't buy into the 'he hasn't got the cattle' line. He lost the senior players from day 1 & hasn't been able to get them back, so i don't feel sorry for him because it was his doing.
    I would imagine we might see some improvement now. I'm not saying they have a great list but what they have served up shows clearly the players do not want to play for him.

    Happy it didn't happen the week prior to us playing them. It should be their recruiter getting the sack.

    Why? they picked up kids that other teams would of taken. These kids have ability but they can't seem to develop them.

    They've wasted a hell of a lot of early picks IMO.

    Hogan and Viney will be good for them, but yeah, they have not had a good track record.

    If you can't develop talent it doesn't matter how good the kids are coming in. I think they have wasted some to but they have some good ones as well & they haven't developed as well as they should have.

I doubt he would fit the whole teaching/ educating mantra that seems to be the direction at Whitten Oval so I doubt BMac and co. would even consider him Happy to see him go somewhere else. Am sure he could fill an assistant role for the remainder of his coaching life. Am glad Melbourne pulled the trigger before we had the chance to appoint. Could be a bullet dodged IMO.
    My sentiments as well. Heard enough, from very early on, from a credible source within the inner sanctum at Melbourne to suggest back then that it would end as it has. I do hope we stay well clear.

    To be fair the trading was done IIRC in anticipation of otherwise losing draft picks from their tanking.

    Caroline and Dwayne have said tonight Choco Williams is the early favourite....

    He may well be, but the body is not yet cold and the off season is a while away.

    I think the Dees would be very happy with that.

    To me Neeld is a good guy at the wrong club.
    I wonder if he will land at the Blues with Malthouse next season.

    If he were at the dogs, I'd expect the WBFC to rocket him. Poor form.
