Liam Pickering who manages Mark Neeld has confirmed what we all know.

The part I'm interested in is if Craig is coming or not and

Where does this leave Viney I hope he isn't disgruntled.

 

Wow i go out on the [censored] for one afternoon and night and look at what i've missed.

9 Pages! Good work boys.

Oh and FWIW i reckon that it is a good appointment.

could of been a dozen if you were home :)

So what time is the announcement?

Haven't been able to confirm this anywhere but have been told it will be at 12pm...

Edit- Fox Sports News have confirmed they will be crossing live to the presser at 12pm. SEN also broadcasting it live for those interested.

To be honest, I think Neeld may be almost better then getting MM.

- He has spent 4 years with MM, has been his right hand man and learnt everything he could.

- He is young and energetic, eager to prove himself and show Eddie that they should have chosen him over the fairytale - MM might be a little burnt out and old.

- He is ALOT cheaper then MM, which means we can spend ALOT more on our football department --> ask any serious football club, thats what wins you flags.

- Neeld also allows us to bring another senior person into the club and have some input, hopefully Neil Craig, which means we have the best of two clubs.

I just hope Neeld has the steel to change our culture and restore this club to where it belongs.

Carn the Dees!

The Hun claim Neale Craig to be Ass, the Age claims Neale Craig will not be Ass. So head down the tote and back both of those rumors.

I think Viney has thicker skin than that.
 

Anyone know what radio station it will be on??

I think Viney has thicker skin than that.

Viney from the start has said he intended to return to his original role once a new coach was found.

He didn't even actually declare an interest in the permanent head coaching position - that was inferred by the media.


Just answered my own question, it will be on SEN.

Live presser on SEN at midday on Crunch time then they will be talking to Schwab afterwards then Mick Malthouse if you want to hear Mick who is a mentor to Mark what sort of coach he will be.

could of been a dozen if you were home :)

Ha. Nice one Dockett!

Yep i am prone to ramblings!


I will back Neeld alll the way!

As long as the club promises to every fan it will never once use!

The " untried coach","Give him time we are rebuilding" excuses.

We all understood the Bailey situation but its now time to, put up or shut up.

Dockers have come out and said they are demanding sucess from RL pretty much from the get go.

Weren't we saying at the start of the hunting we were going to do the same with a proven coach?

Mark Robinson just said Todd Viney will now be an assistant coach which will be interesting and they are in talks with Neil Craig as coaching director. Im sure he said coaching director.

From what I hear, given his background in teaching and at Collingwood, he is great at communicating with players and getting the best from them. He seems to be big on team roles rather than individuals playing for themselves.

Going by this, I fully expect those who were low on confidence/form in 2011 to play better footy in 2012.

This mostly includes Davey, Green, Morton and to a lesser extent Jurrah.

With these 4 playing better footy we will win more games. No doubt about it.

Note sure about MM losing the fire. Still seems to want it although a year out might mellow him and change his outlook. Never know.

I'm also chanting to Lucifer we get a solid Senior to support him like Craig. Be shattered if we don't.

Your post is a good one though Davey.

Nice work

Well at least he knows it will be hard work and admits there is a lot to do. But said he has had a 15 year apprenticeship to get here and wouldnt have put himself through the process if he didnt think he was ready.

Sasd he wants melbourne to be the hardest team to play against. Anyway he spoke well and lets see what list changes he makes.

Nothing yet on assistants, it seems....

I loved him. He was very aggressive and bland with the media. If he didn't like a question he threw it back with disdain.

The one thing I love about Mick Malthouse was his ability (some would say lack of ability) with the media. He would stand up for his troops regardless of the scenario and if the question is asked he doesn't want he tells them where to go.

From what I got from meeting number 1 from Mark Neeld was extremely positive.

I'm falling in love

Just watched the press conference. He's exactly what we need. No BS, straight talker, has a compelling intimidation about him. When asked what he wanted to achieve, he said he wanted us to be the hardest football club to play against.

speaking to Matt Burgan here: http://t.co/UEXUSWzT

 

He sounded just like Mick Malthouse...takes no prisoners...

Mick certainly has a lot of respect for him. The way he spoke about him on SEN certainly reassures me we got the right person to lead the MFC to great things to come.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
