BUMP! I remembered this post as it stood out from the throng at the time. I wondered if you've seen enough now Old Dee

We weren't able to get an 'experienced' coach, even though we tried for Clarkson, and with Eade, Laidley and Craig all available. Mick had to take a year off, and Ross didn't take us into considerat

Everyone bar the most steadfast (pig headed) Neeld supporters have seen enough. He simply has to go.

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"

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

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

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.

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
