As Jimmy's speech is on the Herald Sun site and can be viewed here, I will only post the video of Mark Neeld's speech at the 2011 Best & Fairest Awards Night.

Here it is. Excuse the poor quality and sound of knives and forks and all the waiters running around.

Bump. Video above.

Good stuff Andy.

Great stuff, thanks for that.

Very impressive speech. Neeld looks better by the day.

Sometimes you really wish they'd maybe clear the tables LATER. Really takes away from the moment. Good speech nonetheless.

Actually they were serving dinner at that time and in all fairness there were nearly 1,000 people there to feed. Despite the fact that I was starving, my dinner got cold whilst bringing you all this video.

Impressive.

8 FT coaches?

Out of interest, was it you who made the comment at 3:37 - "he obviously didn't watch them play this year"?

Thank you.

Your efforts are deeply appreciated. Especially those of us not in Melbourne

EIGHT full-time coaches? WOW

We have a football club!

Very interesting opening speech.Thanks Andy for your input. Very much appreciated. Sorry for cold dinner. Felt warmth and sincerety from him, seems the club will fully back him, especially in the area of football department. Now the investment in 8 full time coaches, we can see the full development of our players. Now it is up to them. Go Dees.

Cheers great video

EIGHT full-time coaches? WOW

We have a football club!

Probably Neeld, Royal, Viney, Greaves, Misson, O'Donnell? and 2 more assistants to be appointed.

He B4 God spoke well without being overly complex.

Sounds like even the most simple footballer could listen to his instructions and follow them .

Also sounds like he wont be messed with in that teachery way .

Nice acquisition.

Cheers for that little insight.

Many thanks. Sounds impressive Mark Neeld.

Thanks for your effort Andy, greatly appreciated by us out of towners. And what a coach it seems we have gotten. If ever anyone has made all the right noises, it is him. It's now action time, and for some reason, I really feel he will back up his talk with his actions.

hope he does what he says

Good job.

Last year the club website had all the main speeches on it.

A very impressive speech by our new coach. I love the emphasis on doing things his way, and I have a feeling that his way might just be what the Melbourne Footy Club needs right now. Many thanks for sharing Andy, listening gave me goose bumps.
