Did anyone read in todays herald sun (sat 17/3 ) that Mark Neeld puts all melbouren players on notice

if they dont preform well or dont have a good attitude they will be sacked and dropped from the vfl.

Neeld has given brett Lovett the authority to do as he pleases with the melbourne players even have them play

in the vfl reserves .

S----t will we have a team to field come round one against the brisbane lions

Its got nothing to do with the herald sun its about the direction the new coaching staff are going about discipling poor preformances .

Really, they cant charge 50c a day for an item which they have provided for free until sales of there main product decreased?

I think it sucks to but really they are a business and you liked the HS when they were giving you a free ride ect

Is fair really,

Nothing new in that, MFC players have been playing in the Casey 2s for years.

 

Wait a second.

WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND!

PLAYERS WILL BE DROPPED IF THEY DON'T PERFORM!?

GIVE THIS MAN A GODDAMN CONTRACT EXTENSION AND GIVE SALARY RAISES TO EVERYONE AT CASEY.

NOW!

does anyone have a link to the article or vid where this was stated?

cheers


He was saying that about two months ago. That he has specific roles to be filled and if somebody can't fit them they'd get the boot to the VFL.

I hope one of his specialised role is "person who can hit a target by foot".

I seem to recall the way from around 2008-2010 Collingwood under Malthouse started to leave out the likes of Presty, Medhurst, Lockyer, Holland and other senior players for a number of the kids they'd brought through. I think we will see the transition start to occur this season and our team by the end of 2013 heading to 2014 will be very different to what we may predict currently

IMO this all for public consumpsion.

If he followed through on this we would only have a team of about 15 to field after the last two weeks.

As you can see you can get a completely new set of Coaching staff between seasons

but it takes 5 years at least to turn over a team of players.

You simply cannot say this 15 players go and replace them with better players over night.

You can fling 5 or 6 back to Casey and replace them but what if the replacements are no better.

This is hyperbole for MFC member consumption and a threat to 3 - 4 senior players.

Remember it is difficult to pull up your socks if you do not have any on!

The difference PSD is that the Pies still had a good list of senior players at the time.

The ones you mentioned were in Mick's eyes not going to win them a flag.

But he did have a solid group without them.

The MFC does not have a solid group of senior players

I think that is very much the thinking of Mark Neeld. Some of our older players are staring down the barrell as it should be.

It is now up to the players.

Learn & apply or goodbye...

I probably didn't put it right what you will see by the end of next season and early 2014 is the core nucleues of our solid group of senior players. Not talking flags by then thats 2016 and beyond IMO

PSD I not being smart but I would like to know who you think " the core nucleues of our solid group of senior players" will be?

This is great if he sticks to his word, I don't care if we struggle to field a team as long as the blokes who run out in the red & blue give it THIER all, lets call it a REAL culture shock to the MFC, bring it on I say. My thoughts are that with our current list we are still a long way off being the hardest team to beat or even competitive with the better teams, and it really irks me that teams like Crows, Eagles have, it would seem, turned it around so quickly, we stuck it rite up crows last year, but they look much bigger and stronger and more disciplined than us AGAIN, i no we haven't played them yet but hey……..i ain't blind!

I really don't envy Mr Neelds job, YET!


I tried to find the article, but couldn't.

What was actually said?

Monoccular i found the article in saturdays herald sun 17/3 i cannot find it online but will try to get a copy of it and post the full artical for you when i have a chance

I believe by the end of this season Neeld will have it summed up who to delist, who to trade and what to trade for and who to get with our picks very different side come 2012

 

Neeld knows he only get 1 shot if he can't turn this basket case around.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
