Cale Morton ran off the ground and supporters around me were cheering. FFS imagine running off with 30,000 people heckling you, then having the coach yell at you. You would want to bury yourself! He

Good on you. Ever played AFL at the highest level and been booed by 30,000 of your own fans? [censored] off with this hero behaviour. You have no idea what you would do in that situation. I bet you

I rewound it twice and Neeld said,"Cale, kick it long down the f**king line" No big deal.

Here's another bump. I didn't want to start a new thread, as I'm sure that it will just descend into an inane discussion. But good to have the interview documented somewhere on here I suppose.

In hindsight Neeld was a terrible coach, and Morton’s development was probably ruined like many others from that period. Shame we wasted all those high draft picks. Hopefully we’ve got it right this time. Still not convinced after another 17th places finish...

Agreed. Cale mentioned a number of interesting points about facilities (e.g. junction oval), player development, support staff, complacency and others, which gives a fairly honest overview of us at the time.

Exactly. 

Neeld was a pathetic excuse for a coach.
 

One of the worst ever.

Morton's as excited as Brucey boy...  apparent from the 42 seconds to 44 second mark.

I'm excited...

Morton's done a few podcast interviews in the last year and they're always pretty insightful (honest discussions always are).

Same group had one with Russel Robertson last week; that one was very good.

Simple and straight forward example of why culture is the key to success.

We do not have a culture and that is one of the reasons Roo's choose Goodwin, as he spoke about culture before his appointment and not strategy and tactics as the soil focus.

Neeld killed us.

Sacked Green and installed Grimes and Trengove as a massive mistake. 
 

Youth went backwards.  Morton gone. Scully jumped.
 

Saw senior players leave including Rivers, Sylvia, Moloney and James McDonald.  
 

Brought in Clark and Dawes in massive $$$$ deals

Green was a very ordinary leader.

Morton was a failure under Bailey's time.  non contact was a big mistake in Morton's development,  just as it was with Bennell and Gysberts etc. Morton needed sorting out.  It must have been  'fireup', or  'F'  off. 

His moving on was a bonus for us.  As was Bennell and so many others recruited under Schwab's time.

 

Scully,  no loss in real terms.  I'm glad now he did go.

Rivers ageing,

Sylvia another adding to weak culture,

Moloney again

James McDonald was let go by the administration of Cuddles Schwab, etc.  Not Neeld's doing.

 

So Neeld is guilty of one thing,,,  trying to get the layers to show some fight,  like Watts Morton, Green, etc,  and the likes of Moloney to show less fight and more leadership and healthy culture leadership.

Neeld came into a basket-case club culture,  and ripped it a new one...  which set the door open for Roosy to enter,  to start the real club rebuild.

 

Neeld did us a huge favour,  pulling the network of rotten and soft culture apart...   

 

Roos would not have come onboard  if he had to do the dirty work.  It would have reflected badly on Roos's CV,   IF he had to do all that dirty work.

 

# edit:  Jnr Mac was the blunder and we pushed the best leader of our club out.

He was the guy to lead the recovery,  with young kids in Grimes and Trengove learning from his leadership.

The footy dep't,  F'd-up,  big time.

Let’s be honest. Cale couldn’t handle the pressure of the AFL Competition, regardless of the situation at the club. 
Neeld was not a good Senior Coach, but he was bought in to toughen the place up. 
186 had just occurred 

The Players had burnt Bailey, even though they all “loved” him

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
