I think you're possibly missing the point.

The purpose wouldn't really be to inform supporters.

It's just another avenue through which to promote the club and it's message.

And some people and media outlets will give more credence to a tweet supposedly by our coach, as opposed to our media manager.

Huh? supporters don't want to know what the media wants to know???? You've been listening to Sheedy too much.

I just wouldn't want to be a coach with a twitter account after the Geelong game. As H_T said it might be different with a 20-2 win ratio

Neeld may have a twitter account, but it won't be him twittering. It's a spin. Someone will sit there and follow a tree diagram on how to answer everything as per club policy.

No complaints either. Twitter is no place for a coach.

That's even more dangerous than having the coach tweet. I've got no problem with Neeld on twitter. Malthouse seems to have managed a regular radio gig just fine. If he starts being on 24/7 then I'll complain!

Did Norm Smith use Twitter?

The point is it is a useless distraction, I can only see negativity coming from it. But if he wants to do Twitter he has every right to.

Come on that's really just a silly comment. You cannot compare people from completely different decades and ways of life and say one did this.

Today football is as much about keeping the external happy as the internal and unlike the old days it's not a sport it's a business. Following your point, I can guarantee when Norm Smith was around there was no people bitching about Debt Demolition or posting on forums- nor was there 6 football shows per week watched by millions critiquing his each and every move.

Neeld is positioning himself to best create an environment where us as supporters feel like we are connected to the club.

We all know he won't be posting gameplans so what is the problem?

This will test the intelligence and civility of our supporter base.. Demonland often sinks to depths by people who know little about football and positive communication. What a great opportunity we have. We can make it work or we can shoot ourself in the foot. Are we all so dumb that we can not respect our coach and add to a good club ethos?

Norm Smith also didn't use video review, GPS and Champion Data. Should we get rid of that crap, too?

I often think that there really isn't that much to know about football and that there are some real lynament sniffers here who think they are Teddy Whitten just because they heard this or that .It's a simple game ,with ability and confidence closely related .A good coach will strip away the BS and get things happening simply.A bad one will complicate things and find complicated reasons to fail .

Yeah but one provides us with critical data which we can make observations from, the other is a sounding board for sociopaths and potential rapists..

Now that's not fair. I won't have you denegrating the good folks at Champion Data like that.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
