Neeld takes a stand

Apparently in the lead up to this week MN asked the players,

'are any of you scarred from last year? because if you are you can F*#@ off and i won't take you'

Loving the hard line stance

Bulls*#t question. Who is going to put their hands up. Seriously Who?

Neeld is a Qualified Teacher. He will know who has & has not got baggage from 186.

This is a big one for our coach.

A top effort tomorrows kills most of the past.

Do you really think he was asking that question to get an answer? He was posing a question to instill a mindset. Personally I think it's great.


Interestingly Neeld said today he wasn't going to mention last year as we had new coaches quite a few different players, on both sides, and he felt it was irrelevant.

Behind locked closed doors 186 will be a hot topic i would guess.

What Neeld tells journalists is another thing.

I think neeld might be a qualified teacher of what I am not sure but i don't think it is psychology

Well I guess Neeld won't be driving me to the footy tomorrow.

I think that line fits in well with what he was saying.

Along the lines of "I don't think we should mention it and if anyone here is scarred...."

I would prefer the players HTFU, just from an outsiders view - jeez, they talk about their feelings and their emotional state a bit...

Just get over it, deal with the fact you were shithouse and do something about it - the rest of us do.

Hopefully he wasn't your English teacher.

Neeld himself stated that the club has not spoken about 186, and forbid the players to talk about it. In the same breath he answered a follow up question to say there is 9 players playing this week that did not play last yr.

I would say 186 is in his mind and he is talking and thinking about it.

On side note, im thinking about Saturday and im worried. Tell Moloney he is not thinking about a zero possession game last yr. If he gets 10 or less than 15 possessions this year, it will be seen as a failure, or result of last year. If we lose by 100pts, it will be seen as a result of last yr. Any thing less than 10 goals will be seen as par. I get the sense that the club is on a hiding to nothing this week. If we are thrashed, the media will go crazy. If its an honourable loss, the media will leave us alone. If its a good loss or (god forbid) we win it, it will go down in club history (the win). Im not holding out for a win, but hope we get within 6 goals, at best.

This week is a week that could be the making of a club, or the continued culture of 47 yrs. Pls Dees, stand up!!!

gidon. The club must stand up. There is no excuse tomorrow.

The MFC has to stand up like an army does.

Find a way.

I prey they do WYL. This game could be the game to project us forward following on from 186. But, i'm feeling very nervous and hold alot of doubt. Neeld's presser didnt make me feel better.

I wouldn't expect much more than a fighting effort akin to last week Gidon. It's all about producing players who battle for four quarters at the moment, as well as weeding out the ones who don't have the stomach for it.

Don't worry about who got how many possessions, what the media says, this week being the making of the club or anything remotely like that.Tomorrow is purely about hard, grafting and most probably ugly footy on our part over four quarters.

Neeld is trying to turn the club's ethos around. Let's get behind him.

I still think the ghost of 186 has to be exercised (not sure of the spelling).

It's a ghost that'll be exorcised over time, not by a single effort in one game.

Respect isn't earned through 'one-off' efforts.

We must go forward tomorrow....an Army is always nervous....Best way to destroy nerves is to work hard.

If the club bends over tomorrow...Denham & Patrick Smith types have every right to stick the knife into the walls.

We MUST Fight Tomorrow

Hopefully he wasn't your English teacher.

have you seen english teachers lately ddm? they are the problem.

I love a good belly laugh. Thank you Dandee, :)

I wouldn't exercise it - exercise makes things stronger. Exorcism would be good though. ;-)

I just want Jack Watts to play like Cloke in a few seasons.

He'll never play like that.

He'll never play like that.

But niether did Cloke until 2010 or Hawkins until last year.

Make the kid hungry.

Make the kid hungry.

He's just not the same build as those guys and never will, he won't crash packs but he will be bigger and stronger and make an impact. His skill and ability to make good decisions is what will make him as a footballer.

By the way Cloke did win a Copeland (CollingwoodB&F) as a 20yo in 2007.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
