No doubt. But I find it incredibly difficult to believe that we would be playing so badly under Watters or Sanderson or McCartney. I can't imagine how Neeld sold himself to become so highly regarded.

Mate, I'm not saying he's a great coach, that he was well respected at the pies. Who knows, perhaps Malthouse made him look better than he really is, honestly at this stage I have no idea anymore whether it's the players or coaches or both.

Sack everybody! coach, admin and all players LOL.

In all seriousness this is an UTTER disgrace...

Read 186

Hey you might be right, neither of them got a touch that day..... Idiot.

CC has done a massive amount for this club, but he's not a coach or player so to blame admin for our onfield problems is just plain stupid.

Can anyone remember a team worse than us right now?

Even Richmond at their worst ,port Adelaide, I defy anyone to say we are not the worst team of the modern era.

At least gws and gold coast have heart.

Of the modern era we are absolutely the worst team I've ever seen.

They would beat us with 16 players on the field.

Why do we always start 5 metres behind our opposition player then seem surprised when they pass the ball to him and even more surpirised when he marks it?

Get a clue mate. We were better under Bailey. Proof is in the pudding.

This is the worst team I have ever seen.

Misson knows what the Saints 1 and 3 km time trial were. Neeld knows what the Pies 1 and 3 km time trials were. Misson has clearly said we are not at that level. As for game plan Bailey played the flood well after it was obsolete and now Neeld has to teach the press and the spread as well as basic defensive ethos that we've missed since Northey. I think the 186 team was a tad worse myself.

Yep O'Keefe marking uncontested in goal square?

Clearly thats Neelds fault right? Players wouldn't know they should cover players in their goal square would they. They need to be taught that.

It really does sum up this rubbish about blaming the coach. The players cannot and do not do the basic defensive things that should be natural.

Well done Bailey on the attack mentality you have built in.

Isolating one incident does not get Neeld off the hook.

Yes, quite clearly, our players are inept, and their ability on game day to play football is non-existent. That can't all be Neeld's fault: he obviously wasn't here whilst Bailey mangled their talent.

But the coach absolutely has to be responsible for team performances, including effort/intensity. He just has to be. And since that's lacking, I'm not happy with Neeld. I'm far less happy with the players, of course, but Neeld has to wear some of the blame.

These players are a disgrace. Almost every one of the 22 of them is gutless.

Actually, I'm hoping this is going to be a game of two halves.

In the first half they smash us and in the second they finish us off.

I'm thinking that our plan is to play so badly that the Swans will fall over themselves laughing and we will sneak up on them and win.

Now do you believe that it's the recruiting and nothing else; we have too many players that are not up to AFL standard including our B&F winner from last year (good luck trying to find someone prepared to employ you) and our great hope Sylvia.

What? CC and CS are playing the game are they? Ridiculous post. Judge them on their jobs, not on what our football team displays on the field.

It's been mutiny for over a season now.

Yeah cos that happened all the time under Bailey..... Neeld has blame in this, he's not the only one, but if you're still sticking up for him when we are 0-9, you're blind.

Don't insult blind people by calling me blind.

So you are comfortable that Neeld needs to teach the players how to cover a player in the goal square?

Yes i did see this under Bailey all the time. Name a game..west coast, geelong, hawthorn you name it we have done it v all of them under bailey.

At least when they played under Bailey, he didn't implement some ridiculous game plan that stifled any talent they had. At least when we lost under Bailey (which was, disturbingly, less frequently than we are losing under Neeld) we would see glimpses of talent for a portion of the games.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
