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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
