Just heard on 774 ABC Radio that Mark Neeld will be on the Sunday Inquisition with Gerard Whateley and Stan Alves so I assume he will be on between 12 noon to 1:00 pm.

Just in case anyone wants to hear how he speaks.

What did he have to say?

Anyone know how to listen to it online?

All I get from the 774 website is some weekend guy, not the Sunday Inquisition.

He's on now at 1.13pm.

I can't listen to it myself here in Perth, but seems it will be uploaded here ---> http://www.abc.net.au/sport/afl/audio/

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 Whateley

Whateley's thoughts on Neeld have made me very confident in the club's choice

"a more impressive interview you will not hear"

If anyone has a link to the audio or they recorded it and can upload, please do and let us know.

Thanks.

Agreed on all points.

Must say I was underwhelmed by the appointment, but the ABC interview has changed my mind completely.

As Gerard Whateley said, extremely impressive. Also came across as a genuine & affable bloke.

We got our man.

YES YES YES!

1000 TIMES YES!!!!!

Saying that I'm excited right now is a mild understatement =P

It's going to be a long summer, because I want the season to start already. Bring it on.

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 great cant wait till next year

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!

Thanks.

you can listen here: http://www.abc.net.au/sport/afl/audio/

having my first listen now.

We got our man.

I must say- very very impressive.

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.

I like what I hear.
