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

Recommended Posts

From what I have been told it's clear the GYS will be on the table come trade week.

We will not throw the kid out for nothing and Geelong will have to bring something good to the table.

Geelong will not be the only team after a young kid like Gysberts.

Pick18 to 25 would be what I think the kid is worth but we need men ready to go so I think a player like Knights would be great.

This is a disgrace IF this is right! 

Some serious questions of those in decision making need answers! 

Letting really good young promising kids go is ripping the fabric of this club down to its bones!

Gys, great young fellow some really serious injuries and we use him as trade bait!

Don't forget his first few games were sensational ...

I am really wondering where we are going?

What next ?

Jones for Tippett?

Hmm !! 

WONDERING NOW, BIG TIME!

thats true bubs. i wasn't there. the players appeared to be a bunch of bored kids at a lecture theatre. lets hope they were more motivated than I was. interested to know how others feel? once a school teacher always a school teacher?

School teachers all being the same, of course.

Lol settle down.

If anyone is up for trade I don't want then anyway. Thems not Neeld players sir.

You need to put some faith in Neeldy sonny boy. The club knows the list better than all of us. Bex time!

They can be very affective and a littel longer lasting if the sentiment is kept simple and like all good teaching /presentations repoeated the minimum 3 times.

Kennedy's was brilliant because you can bet your life the words , DONT THINK - DO !!! were ringing in the ears of those players for the rest of that game.

Best motivations/motivators stick to KISS

Didn't Kennedy's team lose that game?

Neeld has 2 more years to run in his contract. If he trades gysberts I'll be disappointed but I'll understand. Neeld doesn't have the time to sit around waiting fo potential to come good. If we get Shannon burns and another player or a late pick then we've done ok for our short term needs. Jack viney is likely to get the spot that the gys is after anyway, but gysberts will be a gun at a club like Geelong

I seem to recall that at the start of pre-season, the word around the camp fire was that neither Gysberts or Blease were setting the world on fire on the track. I myself had seen them looking like they had done LESS THAN NOTHING in their leave time between the 2011 and 2012 seasons. This was reflected in Neeld's refusal to play either of them early in the season, citing a lack of fitness to meet with the demands of modern footy - yet somehow, something twigged in Blease's brain - he pushed his way back. Gys did not.

I think there is something in that.

Calm down.

Gysberts is a talent but if you don't want to put the work in to get the most out of yourself, you can leave.

He has had his injury issues but he turned up to PS training the most unfit of every single player on the list. Every single player.

I don't know why you have such an affinity for players who have played less good games than you have fingers on your hand.

How about they earn our admiration from now on?

I didn't want to start a new thread but someone texted me (I'm in Canada) that neeld was going to step down due to health reason and Ratten was taking over. Eddie to announce it Wednesday. My old man on crack or what?

I'm speechless!

HaHaHa, 'little e'ddys organ' ized it all, don't know about that but we'll take Wellingham, & the Blues get the Cloke to go with that toffy Top Hat.

The Pies can have the Ratsack leftover from Car'ton... minus the empty cardboard box.

hi rr,

not the best example. not inspirational. nearly went to sleep watching it.

Talk to old Hawthorn players about Alan Jeans - they played like men possessed so they wouldn't ever have to hearJeans speak about anything. Brilliant coach who had the utmost respect from his players but was no orator.

There is more to coaching than being an inspirational speaker.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
