Neeld didn't put US in the position we were already in.   We were just in a downward spiral,  and he was a mere puppet in the scheme of it all.

 

So stop kicking someone who just wasn't up to it,  as you say.   He didn't hire himself.  Simply tried to make a difference.  

So how can people hate someone so much,  for trying.?

 

#  I think he must be wearing 50Yrs of Pain,  from Mfc supporters.

                 Hating isn't going to make us winners.    only Honesty can do that.

Oh dear. These rants could go on and on....

    The rants already have been going on for years swyl,  ever since Neeld was hired in the first place.

    Neeld did not play at the top level,   like Jordan,  so he was always struggling for the respect required, not just by the playing list,  but by many "Melbourne people",  close to and around the club.

    Neeld played 74 AFL games, for Geelong and Richmond, successful clubs. Jordan played VFL, coburg. WTF are you talking about?

    I know Slug played VFL.   Not top level football.

    Neeld was not considered worthy as a coach,  by the players and others around the club.   At the time he started.  I mucked up Re Neelds AFL games. 

    Years Club Games (Goals)
    1990–1993 Geelong

    48 (17)

     

    1994–1996 Richmond 26 (16)
    Total  

    74 (33)

    But the point remains.  He was not considered worthy to be our AFL coach by most around the club.    And especially when he tried do bring down instant discipline on the players.

         It was easy for the players to Buck-Up and rebel against him,  because so many former Melbourne people and others about the club,  were talking behind his back, undermining him even before the Pre-Season.

     

    These are not the signs of a healthy culture,  and they had started years prior.  This point in time was a tipping point in our history,  where things were at the end of the road,  and could not be let go on any longer. 

     

    That's where the AFL put their boots down, and took over. 

    They brought the footy people to us, to get us back up on our feet.  We haven't done it,  they're people did it, and left.

     

    Now we have to get things right ourselves.  From our board level.

    Its time to get that home base happening.

    Is it my imagination, or was Neeld given the flick seven long years ago? And not last week?

    exactly. 

    But people will not let him go, in peace.  Choosing instead to relive their pain,  and their hate toward him,  in text.

    For the fairest of clubs,  its really unfair on someone who cannot defend themselves of the constant denigration.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
