Neeld would probably be my favourite outside of Malthouse atm, close pegging with Burns but slightly ahead, I think he has a strong claim to the success of Collingwoods Defense and Midfield, and has been credited with much of Collingwoods "press" from what i can take in

He is not a top line senior coach but i think he is pretty clearly "the best of the rest"

Well, if it happens at least we have stolen some IP from Collingwood...

That is pretty much how I feel. Would like to see a Neil Craig type appointed to a Senior Assistant type of role also.

And Mick as Football manager.


Well that would answer my "If not Mick then who? " lol

Seems an interesting choice.

If Neeld I wonder who he'd pick as assistants.

its getting interesting ( well even more so ..lol )
 

neeld/burns under neil craig as a senior assistant has to be the best option now, hard to split burns and neeld but both with some good experience before i think it is a good result.

Damn, I told Mrs Robbie, showed her his picture and she said, Nah!

Mrs Robbie is never wrong.

With Mick's recent statement that he feels the Demons will make the finals next year depending on the coach, and "i'll be watching with interest from the sidelines", with a wry smile and a wink, this makes complete sense as our likely option.

If there is any such thing as sense in the AFL anymore lol. What a circus!

Not saying i'm happy with it if it does come to fruition though. Prefer experience. Unfortunately the final "apparently available" experience option has landed in Perth.

Not that these are the only two possibilities, but I'm thinking Neil Craig as Senior Assistant given that Gazza aint a big fan of Eade apparently.

However, I'd be very surprised if this came to light in an official sense before next week, given all the media hype and focus surrounding the Lyon to Freo issue and elimination finals this weekend.

Lets all be honest, we can only speculate on what we are being fed....

2 days ago its was Ross Lyon

Last night Barrett and Thomas reported it was going to be Burns and Craig combo

Today it is Neeld being close to signing ect....

Who is left? is this more smoke and mirrors or not, seems that nothing has been leaked form MFC so far, well nothing that they didnt want to be leaked, i am really at the stage where i can talk about all this and say this and that but until the club makes a statement i will not be banking a thing

Weeks 1-3 MFC thinking about the process

Weeks 3-5 Clarkson offered Huge deal in media

Weeks 5-6 Lyon offered huge deal through the media ect

Weeks 6-7 Neeld???? *current

Weeks 7-8 Burns???? * next week

Week 9 *Grand final over???? just seems played out and nobody has any real clue to me

Its not often the senior journalist at a paper sticks his neck on the line and says 'this person is going to be the coach'.

I give his hunches more clout than the ambulance chasing, rubbish bin hiding journos of the ilk of Barrett and Hutchison.

Still, time will tell!


God, I hope so.

I've warmed to other options, but he's been my number 1 realistic option since Bailey was relieved of the role.

Craig as a senior assistant would be icing on the cake.

We need to close the deal with the Saints joining the fray...

Hell yes. With Pendlebury saying Neeld is one of the reasons he and Thomas have upped there game in the last 2 years (whilst he has been in charge of the midfield) is great with Pendlebury coming out of contract next year... Could help us lure a might fine captain.

Spot on JT they are all guessing.

Until some one is appointed it is still MM for me.

Any one else I will believe when the MFC announce it.

In all of this the MFC have said nothing no leaks nothing.

I like their style for a change.

Malthouse's right hand man. A "mini" Mick could be a great move.

He is credited with a lot of the defensive press work under Mick.

So if it aint Mick then this is a good choice.

I hope he has the balls to put a rocket through the whole club to bring up the standard in all areas.

It will be crucial to know who he chooses as assistants if this becomes fact.

With the Aints now in the race we have to be very strong now.

One other reason to like him - he played under Robert Walls, Malcolm Blight and John Northey.

That should excite a few posters.

I like it

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
