Mark Neeld - On The Couch

[Guest Jackie]

Anyone watch Michael Douglas in Falling Down? His physical resemblance with Neeld and behavior(to a more extreme degree) is spooky. HIs character goes nuts and rages against decayed corrupt and heartless society.

And here he is. Still has his filth tie on.

No prizes for guessing who the guy with knife looks like

You mean like Grant Thomas and his blog ?

Let's get something straight, Grant Thomas isn't a journalist. Outside of Gerard Healy and one or two other bright ones, the ubiquitous ex-footballer we see on TV and in print doesn't know the first thing about journalism. Most are morons. It's true, journalists sometimes get things wrong by not being able to speak to every key person involved in a story, but every one worth their salt makes the effort. If you hear a piece of information second hand, like Thomas did, the first thing you do is put the allegation to the person involved. It's journalism 101.

This is why the trade is going to the dogs, because [censored] like Grant Thomas are accorded such status. The guy is a bomb-thrower and anyone with half a brain can see that.

I had to go to the physio a few days ago - my hip flexor's stuffed.

This guy is very well regarded in sports in Sydney - he services several rugby clubs etc.

I asked him if he knew Dave Misson. His response, "not very well, but I know who he is".

I then asked what he thought of him in terms of capability.

He said, "absolute specialist in that particular field - very, very good". BUT, he then said - "getting that list up to speed will take a long time - not just one pre-season. He'll only be trying to tweak the older players, because he won't be able to rebuild them and it would be inefficient to do so. His main focus will be on the young guys. In three to four years from now, you won't recognise them - but be prepared, these elite fitness regimes take years to implement."

Probably obvious stuff - but a timely reminder nonetheless.

I reckon we'll get pumped today, but we need to give the new guys (Neeld, Craig, Misson etc) time to turn this ship around. I really think they know what success looks like and they know what they're doing (even though the 'game plan' most likely adopted today, and not properly executed by the players, may give a slightly different impression).

I have a close friend (and another Dees man) who is involved with player development in WA, he has been telling me for years how much emphasis Meth Coast put into sports science and player development. He has always maintained it is a massive advantage and one which was underestimated.

Hopefully the structures we put into our FD at the end of last season will see benefits for the years ahead

Frank Grimes was based on the Falling Down character. Cracker Movie as is Grimey!
