WINNER: Goose of the Year ... David King

Featured Replies

When people move out of actual football roles and into the media, they take up a very different role. All of us should remember that the commentary viewpoint is inevitably different from the participant viewpoint.

101 in media relations: never upset the media, give them something to talk about and give them respect, it will be returned.

Tell me then ... in what way did Mark Neeld 'upset' or 'disrespect' David King that would prompt the latter to go ahead and spout such drivel?

Interested to hear more of your '101' theories.

With all due respect, his team is 1-9.

Criticisms of his ability to coach and his decisions are one thing.

Saying it was the wrong decision to ever hire him is another.

Hardwick provides the perfect example. Two years ago Richmond was 0-9. Now, Hardwick has moulded them into a team that is pushing for the finals. The point being that 0-9 does not equal 'bad decision to hire the coach'.

Exactly. Criticize all you want but to publicly call for someone's head after nine games in the driver's seat is just lunacy.

Hardnut above talks about 'respect'. Well King showed a total lack of it with his comments IMO and deserves to be roundly pilloried for it.

So do posters on here who said much the same.


Must add Luke Darcy to the list. Not just did he flip flop during the game on who will win claiming he called it... now he is dishing it up to Neeld for not being emotive enough in the presser...

Let it go!!

I am sure he bagged him for being too emotive earlier this year also. Major tool.

And if Neeld had of done the after match presser smiling, happy and joking with reporters some other media hack would have criticized him for being too relaxed. You can't win

I am still trying to get over Matthews rating Ben Hudson over Clarke comment. This guy is an absolute legend of the game and even he comes out with utter tosh. The 4th estate need to have a good, long, hard look at themselves

 

I think its wednesdays that David King is on SEN after 7:30am. Everyone should text or call in and ask him does he still think our square peg coach still cant coach.

David King seemed unrepentant on his lil' Ask the Expert: How to fix Blues

Comment From Guest Carlton have been badly overrated by our sensationalist and fickle media. Speaking of which, what did you make of Melbourne on Friday night kingy ;-) Still think Neeld should get the axe? The players seem to be reposnding to him. A weeks a long time in footy.

12:11

Kingy: thanks Guest, i still stick by what I say, if Essendon hadn't have made the calamitous inside 50 mistakes would you be still writing your comment?

Not that it matters much anymore, we know he's a fraud. And on top of that the Roos have well and truly taken the focus off us with their CEO quitting today.

When you are a journalist you should give credits to where its due. Melbourne won, at least give us credit for win than crying about Essendon losing, Being bit of a cry baby perhaps?

I really detest this bloke. If I was a Kangas fan (God forbid) I'd be utterly ashamed of him.

The problem is, until people stop reading / watching it all, the market will only get more saturated with opinion pieces and "expert analysis" by ex-players and any other bloke who reckons he knows what he’s talking about.

I can’t believe Fox can have so many programmes purely on Footy. When you think about it, it’s no real surprise that you get rubbish journalism or articles based on a hunch rather than fact, when the bulk of the newsworthy stuff takes place over the weekend leaving an entire week for speculation and innuendo

I don't mind u ( or anybody else) slamming on David King but he is a genuine rocket scientist compared to Mark Robinson who, by comparison, escapes the kicking he deserves.

Well i doubt that MR could insert said caps in the appropriate position

Have a listen to you lot. Relax and get over what he said, your making it bigger then it ever was. We are 1-9 and you are all having a crack at him as if all our issues have been solved, but we are still a bad team.

There's a difference between a 'bad side' and the level of ineptitude that King claimed existed. Not denying we are a bad side, but the massive exaggeration King put on his comments implied we belong in the VAFA if at all.

Whose doing this? I just think the guy's an idiot in general and am taking some solace in a win coming the week after his inane comments about Neeld. The win itself has no baring on my criticism of him.

Same, I think he has no idea. He decided on the Friday night after his stupid comments to back them up with facts. No facts just lack of homework as usual, for one he said only 4 players on the list had changed under Neeld and 11 under Hardwicke. Well I'm not sure about Hardwicke but I know there were 8 changes to our list, I also know that under a compromised draft Neeld couldn't just empty our the list last year with GWS taking the cream. Kept going on about recruiting a 25 year old in Clark, I know it's not a big deal but he is 24. Facts, I'm only dealing in facts says King

What a drop kick.

I'd like him to name one coach who's cleaned out the list before his first season. I can't think of any.

Malcolm Blight axed at least 4 Crows before he set foot in the place.

Wanted them gone before he even got there.

 

He's on breakfast Wed on SEN always talks crap, he and Denham are dropkicks, especially Denham.

Gerard Healy deserves a mention for claiming none of our young players would re-sign. GFS Gerard you 80's turncoat!

If Healy said that his brother should punch him in the face.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
