Herald Sun reports Gysberts to be shown the door...Neeld has gone mad!!!


Tex

Recommended Posts

Brad was on SEN today and was asked by Harford if he would go to GWS, he said "at the moment" he is officially but obviously open to something. He said he is still having a run. It just proves that the club has forced another long-standing loyal player retire before they wanted too. Frickin' Neeld better know what he is doing. lf they haven't shown any improvement or at least heart by round 6 next they can have my membership back. As for getting rid of Gysberts, does Neeld know what the hell he is doing?

What does it exactly prove ? Green was ready to retire from the MFC because he is well aware that there is a coach at the helm who will only play him if his form warrants it. He might entertain playing at GWS or GC because they have rolled the dice on players on their last legs (read Josh Fraser) and paid them big money in an attempt to get anyone over the age 20 into their team irrespective if they can still get a kick or not.

As to forcing players to retire before the player wants to I say Bravo ! Here is a simple blueprint - ascertain if a player is value or not to the team - if he is he stays, if not he goes. 10 years service,Captains, B&F's,bleeding red and blue since birth, 5 minute stars don't enter the equation if you are no value to the team.

Yep! This bloke has come into the place demanding this that and everything else without realising respect MUST be earnt!!

Don't give a hoot if it's the president or the boot studder. In this day and age managing and inspiring people is the name of the game in any role!

I agree and from what I see he has lost players because of the way he tries to present as an authoritarian without "Gravitas"

Don't care if he coached the best mid field in the comp in a premiership year, don't care if he coached some surfies to a premiership. What I want to see is a people manager and inspirer. Sorry but cannot see it given the vids that have been presented so far on this site.

Understand that although it appears the process for his appiontment was questionable not sure the current administration can do anything about it!

One thing I am sure of never ever let Garry Lyon anywhere near the process of coach appointment as consultant or whatevever his role was again.

Yep we have gone backwards massively! I can relate to Tex and his arguements .Massive test awaits next year, would not like to be zip 4 or so at start of year that result would be catastrophic for all concerned!

What a load of rubbish, the MFC needed a coach with a hard edge. They were soft and it looks like the soft players cant handle the required standard thats needed to become a top four club because under previous coaches they have had it far too easy. He has seperated the men from the boys. We wont be 0-4 next year because Neeld will have weeded out the players who cant cut it and will have a list that he wants.

Why dont the haters start one big Mark Neeld bashing thread so the rest of us here with common sense can enjoy each others company.

Close.

A coach has come in demanding professionalism and adherence from the players which has been noticeably absent for years. Some players have not realised that respect MUST be earned.(Nathan Jones has earned the respect of the coach)

Picket Fences favourite player was Juice Newton and he must have posted a couple of hundred times on Ology demanding that he be given a game; does that tell you anything?

Hope you are right, but that is not a given. Injuries and the draw for starters, will play a big part.

I think we will be cutting Neeld some slack if we are 0-4 after playing Haw, Syd, Coll, WC in the first 4 rounds. Say if we play St K, WB, Port, Bris. Id accept being 2-2

This. I work in banking and I certainly didn't start with the expectation that my CFO should respect me. That only comes after hard work. The same applies in footy.

Who knows whether MN will be a good coach but at least it won't be through lack of conviction.

I seriously think we have some Brent Moloney/ Cale Morton type posters on this forum!!! DRop the bottom lip when things get tough or are just used to accepting half assed efforts!

Like it or not, Mark Neeld is the coach of the MFC! I don't give a continental if players a b c where captain of the club/b&f winner under bailey because that is the past! I am about the future and the future is Melbourne moving towards its 13 th premiership at whatever cost!

I could not agree more. A coaches main role is to get the most out of his players. What ever way you look at it Neeld does not have the ability to do this. He has lost the playing group. I have it on good authority that 15 of our 45 are investigating their options to leave, the exitist will take years of recruiting to repair, we are destined to the bottom 4 for at least another 3 years. Neeld has destroyed their confidence and thus the players ability. What a disaster Neeld is.

Neeld is the worst mistake our club has made since sacking Norm Smith. I have already put money on the Dees for the wooden spoon next year.

The board must fire him leave and leave Neil Craig in charge before more players leave. Who in their right mind would want to come and play for Melbourne.

I beg the board to fire Neeld.

Whether you're right or wrong it doesn't matter right now. Despite a horrible year , Im not a Pro Neeld type or an anti Neeld type...for now.

As yet it cant be shown conclusively that Neeld has" lost the playing group" or is just an ultra disciplinarian demanding levels of it previously undemanded.

With this pretty large unknown it would be stupidity beyond even us to move on Neeld now.....and if we did we would be the laughing stock of the competition. Deservedly.

He needs at LEAST this year to sort out what exactly is true. If, as you say, we continue to go backwards then I doubt he will last the entire year.

What the eff? Did they all of a sudden legalise weed?

You have on good authority that 15 on the 45 are exploring options? Would that be Jurrah Green Moloney Bennel Davey Morton Couch Cook Gysberts Bate Dunn Spencer Martin Rivers Jetta Macdonald?

You talk about extracting the best from players? I dont think the best of these players could beat an senior EFL side but hey keep bagging Neeld, its his fault he inherited a [censored] list.

I think that Neelds hard bristle Broom is scrubbing hard.

And as such has most under the Fires of Hades. Board Inc.

The supporters, most are onboard as well, & want things to Heat Up!

Hmmm . ".. good authority.. " .

Has your "authority " given you names ? Has your " authority " given you their individual reasons for " investigating their options to leave " ?

Are they , perchance , ones who can't hack the pace ? Rumour , rumour , rumour .

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
