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

    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.

    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!

    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?

    Video review, GPS and Champion data is useful..

    They're just tools, as is the Twitter-machine. They all have different functions, that's all.

    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..

    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 .

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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
