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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
