It was good to see Neeld give Morton a spray. He chose to use his left foot and was lazy with the disposal. Members had a great view of it. Expect more from top 5 draft pick.

    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.

    I was all ears for what Cale had to say.

    Until the quiz at the end, and then started questioning whether he would have bright enough to play football.

    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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
