Not sure if you're trolling but the club was genuinely on track to fold several years ago under Neeld.

I'm deadly serious.
Neeld could not believe how unprofessional the club was compared to Collingwood.
Players ruling the roost and allowed free reign- he, like McCartney at Dogs- came in with a directive to sort the place out.
Senior players got the hump and complained and soon he was arsed.
takes some hard love to get things sorted- you have to go backwards to go forwards.
Smart business practice- get a hard nosed IDGAF style manager (Neeld/McCartney) to come in and bulldoze the place and then slide in a caring, supportive manager to build it back up (Roos/Bevo)
fast forward a few years and you have players boycotting a pre-season camp.

This is going beyond “having a poor preseason”. Completely overrated list. No forward line. Poor gameplan. Prelim to spoon contention. Classic Melbourne.
I wonder if Melbourne get away from scrutiny because of their history of failure
Melbourne’s list really should be doing far far better than the woeful position it finds itself in
Goodwin to be the third coach sacked this season.

If this came from a west coast supporter fair enough, but if you want to talk mediocrity you don’t have to look to far past your own club old son

I don't like to agree but it is a combination of class of 2018 not behaving to coach's rules... not 'director's fault.. player keeping their dice close to their chest
wandering minds and wandering feet... don't ever like to blame the coach.. not yet
Fremantle in 2016 went from minor premiers and a prelim to 16th. Home and away ... 17-5 to 4-18. Great effort.

What is Fremantle then? Pot meet Kettle
Need to rid Gary Pert. Toxic clubman.
Started badly and snowballed. Obviously didn’t have a great pre season, both with injury and didn’t seem to work hard enough.
If Goodwin has a similar start next season, he will be out of a job in 11-12 months time.

I watched them today and have to say their decision making is appalling, they're in space and then they'll turn back into traffic... for no reason... also their forwards can't kick, they don't work very hard for each other to provide options or get some overlap run happening. Never viewed them as a genuine bottom 4 side until I saw them in person

You looked that much fitter than us.
You were running rings around us, because you work harder.

Thanks Dad!
difference being I accept we are mediocre.
Yet- we are still a better club than you at present- better on the field and better off the field.
In our time in the AFL you have done NOTHING.
You would kill for Ross Lyon

Ridiculous thing to say and as for Ross Lyon the only thing that would be killed is any last incentive to watch Melbourne play with that dud as coach, Freo will will as many flags with him coaching as they have in their entire history.
Now go to room and don’t come out until you’ve thought about what rubbish you’ve posted

The same Ross Lyon who has been found to be sexually harassing female staff club members?
Yeah that is exactly what we need

The two worst captains in the league both play for the same club.
Jones and Viney shouldn't even be in the team, they are woeful players.
Time to move them both on and make Gawn the captain.

I've only watched them a few times this year but their skills and decision making are below AFL standard. Clayton Oliver signifies this. He is such a great ball winner but whenever he gets the ball he looks to feed the handball off even when the correct decision is to kick the ball. It throws off the whole leading patterns of the forwards. When he did eventually kick, it was simply awful.
Guys like Hannan, Spargo, Garlett, Jones aren't up to it anymore. They have the chance to improve next year if they can get their backline to gel with a new group including Lever, May, Hore, Jetta who have played zero football together. Some very good players there that have been non existent due to injuries this year.

Didn’t the WB win a flag after McCartney was sacked? And didn’t Neeld get sacked from Essendon last year?
