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

Misson would not be included in the 8 full time coaches. Therefore 3 more required..If they keep David Dunbar then.. he would be included I believe.

Thanks for sharing that Andy - I really like the fact Neeld is mentally challenging our boy's already.

JCB - Good to see your ugly mug back

Interesting to hear about Lyon and McLardy hitting the desk a few times...

I would have been the same - "Mark, these boys need a effing coach (smash desk) not a mate. Your first meeting should be a short introduction and then a explanation of what horrors will await them if they don't harden up (smash desk). I don't care what Mike Sheahan thinks of us so fark the media (smash desk), I care that young Demons don't want to go to with their dads to the footy because we have been so [censored] embarrassing (smash desk)."

As far as I can tell...

1. Neeld (senior coach)

2. Viney (assistant coach*)

3. Royal (midfield coach)

4. Greaves (assistant midfield coach)

5. Dunbar (innovations coach*)

6. O'Donnell (development coach*)

7.

8.

* position in 2011, unconfirmed for 2012.

Anyone know if the development and innovations coaching positions are full-time? If they're not I'd assume the last 4 spots will be forward/defence coaches with assistants.

Thanks for the vid.

Time will tell if we have ourselves a coach, but we've certainly picked up a handy after-dinner speaker.

Inspiring stuff, and once again, I just find myself wondering why it has taken us 3 years under Jimmy and co. to get to this stage. Professional.

EIGHT full-time coaches? WOW

We have a football club!

Striker this will sound negative but I will say it anyway.

None of these guys run out on the ground..

It will be the same basic lot as 2011.

These eight guys have the job in front of them.

I hope we show a big improvement too.

I am aware, but compared to last season where we had 5, maybe 6 if you count O'Donnell (not sure of the role there) then that's a fair bump up, especially when coupled with Misson and his crew.

I think that, this being a Stynes/McLardy appointment rather than a Gardiner one as Bailey was, the board are prepared to give the FD all the tools they need where they may not have been as willing with Bailey.

I hope it wasn't "the" desk, as I think that's a bit valuable to be smashing :lol:

No, that was 4 smashed desks...

I just watched this vid, then right after that the All Blacks v France Haka kicked off on the telly.

It's fair to say I AM UP AND ABOUT.

He wil be a good coach if he can get them playing as a team. Not paying as individuals.

People laughed at the Hawks for Kokoda and laughed at the Magpies for Arizona (initially) but they have both built a first class selfless team ethic. As have West COast and Geelong this year. West Coast did it in one summer. We can do it too.

No more mediocrity. No more boozy China trips. I want fanatical devotion to improvement at every level.

Go Dees.

all the things that Neeld has said, and that have been said about him, have been fantastic.

However, I have been following this particular football club way too long to raise any expectation whatsoever until the day I see them playing consistently passionate and competent football

even with Bailey we saw it for half a season and then it disappeared

I would have liked to hear some comments from Neeld about what is actually wrong with the side and exactly how he intends to fix it. He's not the first guy to start at a new club and say he wants the team to be hard

Don't you think information like that would be best left behind closed doors? If I know his plan and you know his plan and it's being talked about on here... all the other clubs know it too.

well they already know what our strengths and weaknesses are, they have things called opposition analysts. It's not going to take long to realise what his masterplan is, like NAb cup round 1

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
