Video of Mark Neeld's B&F Speech

Recommended Posts

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.

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. :P

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
