Video of Mark Neeld's B&F Speech

Featured Replies

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

 

No. That person shall remain nameless.

Some of us know and with that information to hand to Mark at the appropriate time...............

As someone who couldn't afford the $195 for a ticket to the B&F, I just wanted to say thank you for making the effort to record and post for us.


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...

Schwab goes through a wholesaler.

$320k well spent.

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.

:blink:

Agree. Perhaps dees can create our own version of a :aka pre game? That would pump them up surely..


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

Apparently we're not hard...............................................................................................................................he's going to make us hard !!! B)

Thanks for taking the time to record and post this.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
