Neeld sacked

[Lightning McQueen]

I hear Melbourne supporters questioning Neeld's longevity at the helm, what are other peoples thoughts?

[Squids]

I'll go Round 11 v the Pies so the new coach gets two weeks to try and sort out the mess.

[Lightning McQueen]

I went a loss to GWS.

[Booney]

I think they'll let him see the season out, actually.

[Lightning McQueen]

Someone seems to think he's cooked already judging by the poll

[HH3]

I think after a second loss to the Gold Coast. It might possibly include a loss to GWS the week before.

[Groover]

A thumping to Fremantle at Patersons Stadium should do the job I rekon.

[Hondo]

Who could take over? Here's a list of their coaching staff. Brian Royal or Todd Viney?

- Tim Harrington – General Manager - List Management
- Todd Viney - General Manager - Player Development & Strategy
- Neil Craig - Director Of Sports Performance
- Josh Mahoney – Football Manager
- Brian Royal - Midfield Coach
- Aaron Greaves – Midfield Development Coach
- Leigh Brown – Forward Line Coach
- Paul Satterley – Forward Line Development Coach
- Jade Rawlings – Backline Coach
- Andrew Nichol – Backline Development Coach

[Frosty]

Melbourne have the potential to lose 6 of their next 8 games by 100 points or more.

Richmond, Freo in Perth, Collingwood, Hawthorn then a 2 week breather followed by Sydney and Geelong.

If survives till the breather it'll be after the Geelong flogging - history may repeat itself here.

I see Neil Craig stepping up next year...
(And nothing will have changed.)

Jade Rawlings would be my choice for a caretaker role

[Jim05]

Todd Viney to take over for remainder of year.
Dont think they can afford a gun coach next year so I cam see someone like Matthew Knights getting the job

[Squids]

Can Todd coach Jack in this day and age?

[HH3]

I think the question should be "who wants the Melbourne job?"

It'll be a lot like the Port position, where candidates were pulling out to take lesser roles at other clubs. Only a lot worse...

[Squids]

Who would you rather coach Melbourne or Brisbane?

Demetriou may deny it but I can see the AFL offering up a large cash sum to attract a coach.
Chocco would be good for them but I reckon he has Hardwicks job insight if Richmond dont make finals.

Brisbane

[Rik E Boy]

Who would you rather coach Melbourne or Brisbane?

Brisbane. They have a midfield.

Melbourne
Despite how poor they are ATM, they are still a club steeped with plenty of history, have their home ground at the home of football and play in a football mad city. Give me that anyday over a bunch of rugby rednecks.
With a decent coach and some decent recruiting Melbourne could turn it around in 2-3 years. Some of their players are better than they are showing, quite obvious they are trying yo get Neeld sacked.
In reality neither of Melbourne or Brisbane will play finals in the next 4-5 years

[Dog_ger]

If the good man could accidently trip and fall on his sword.

The Great Melbourne Footy Club cannot keep going like this.

Something must happen very soon one would think.
