Wow he sounded good and the panel asked some good questions.

He said there were such things as coaching non negotiables and that he expected certain things from the players and that they don't need to tell him about it - he would be able to tell by their actions. He also said that in his interview with MFC (they interviewed half a dozen candidates over the time) this is what's wrong with the list, these are the players you need, go out and fix it. The minute he became Melbourne coach the last thing that was on his mind was the Collingwood midfield. He said next Friday instead of being at the Coll Hawks game he would be at Melbourne best and fairest.

What I took from it...

Very very impressive - all three interviewing when it finished said "a more impressive interview you will not find".

He has non negotiables which he will put to the players straight away and that they are either in or they are out. Will be uncompromising with these.

Told the club he won't accept not having a good coaching group. Has people he wants to bring in, and that is well down the track in happening.

Has taken a lot of his philosophies from Malthouse and Blight. Has years and years worth of notes from his time with both.

During the interview he put his best 22 up on a board with holes missing in certain positions because he felt we had nobody to play those roles how he wants them to be played. Said to the panel to go tell the recruiting staff this is what we need, and to go get it.

He seems very much a one in all in mantra. Knows that the club needs a good shake up and sounds exactly the type of guy to make it happen.

i dont respect anyone more in the AFL world than Gerard WhateleyWhateley's thoughts on Neeld have made me very confident in the club's choice"a more impressive interview you will not hear"

I agree completely mephis. The bloke has his head screwed on in a way none of the other journos do I reckon. Now I need to find audio of this interview. I liked the way he spoke in the presser yesterday, and loved the things that MM had to say about him on SEN straight after the presser. As SMcF said, I cannot wait for season 2012.

Sounds like we've got a good one on our hands.

Even if he does turn out to be a flop (doubt it, but you can never be sure), at least he has got us excited for footy again. $cully who?

Now I await the "Sack Neeld" threads after our first loss in Round 4 next year. ;-)

Now that is agressive SS

You think we will the first 3?

Hard to imagine a more impressive interview. I know talk is cheap, but if our new coach turns out to be half as good as he sounds, we are on the money!

Successful football clubs need successful coaching groups. Yeeha. He said to the Club "what are you going to give me??" We need diverse backgrounds, diverse age groups (interesting!) and a range of skills.

About the list: Presented a list of 22 best players with a few gaps - players they needed to draft. Go get 'em. Right now there is anyone good enough to play in that role right now.

Very impressive interviewee.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
