On Friday night Channel Sloven cut to the Crow-box at an especially crucial juncture of the match and therein it appeared that DB was holding court, with, importantly, Sander's full and barely divided attention.

Juxtapose with footage of our MFC coaching chit-chat reject Ross Lyon when the same said match was all but but not entirely lost and the great man and proclaimed spiritual resurrector was seen to tear a headset off a hapless assistant's head with nought but bitter disrespect.

Finals, high pressure, sure . . . but not so recently, I believe on these very boards, I watched 'inside' footage of coach Mark Neeld in the gameday box telling Messers Craig among others in the box to wait, sshhh, hang-on, let me think, like a sad and confused multi-tasking houswife having a serious mental breakdown during a Monday-morning Hilux commute.

(2011) Neil Craig - Adelaide - 14th

(2011 rd 19) Dean Bailey - Melbourne 10th

(2012) Sando (w DB) - Adelaide - prelim

(2012) Neeld (w. NC) - Melbourne - 16th

Disregarding Ross('s?) effrot to lift Freo from 11th to a semi, does something else feel out of whack here?

So your point......are you saying Lyon is crap because at one point in one game he wanted full autonomy over the coaches box? Are you also saying because at one point, in one game Sanderson stopped to listen to Bailey that he is a great coach (presumably because he won the game?).

Then is your contention that due to the nature of these observations and conclusions that as mark Neeld wanted full time to think at one point in one game that he therefore is crap?

I have heard of drawing a long bow, but that is ridiculous. If you think Mark Neeld is crap, at least put up a logical and supportable argument. I will wager that if I got vision of ALL coaches for the full year I will find times when each and every one of them do both what Lyon and what Sanderson did.

If we are going to say that DB took us to 10th last year and he is some what of a superstar football whisperer we probably should raise that he at the very same time oversaw the arcing greatest every losing margin in AFL / VFL history in his last game.

If you are also going to say that Craig is no good and he was responsible for the 14th finish in 2011, you may also want to see what other results he ha with the teammover his tenure (multiple preliminary finals etc)

Can't see the validity in your post at all

Yes, this thread is out of whack! A thinly veiled attempt to attack Neeld without the courage to come out and say it!

Is this the work of an insomniatic troll!

Yes, your alleged support of the MFC feels out of whack. [censored] off and barrack for Adelaide or Freo.

After trying to decipher that piece of dribble it seems to me that you are trying to say that we should have given the man that has made Mark Neelds job of rebuilding this club even harder another term.We wasted 4 years of valuable rebuilding time under Bailey.This year was a right off because Neeld was taking in the scale of the mess that Bailey left us in.To be honest i get the impression that some people are hoping that Neeld fails.If that does happen then god help this club.Oh and btw Neil Craigs record from 05-09 with the crows is very respectable but of course it wouldn't suit your agenda to acknowledge that.

One thing to me sure does appear out of whack - the extrapolation and spurious comparison of what (appears to) happen in coaching boxes in a semi-final to what (appears to be) happening in the box of a coach trying methodically to turn around a sick culture built on decades of neglect.

Thanks for your first post. Very inciteful

Heres a fun fact, DB after first season = 1 spoon. MN after first season = 0 spoons

Clarkson also punched a hole in a wall instead of coaching his team, good or bad coach?

What a strange conversation!

Clarkson also punched a hole in a wall instead of coaching his team, good or bad coach?

The wall had his undivided attention, so: good coach.

Neeld was obviously saying to Craig "So we're 10 goals down in the last with nothing to play for ,what should I do Craigie?"

"Try punching the wall-it works for Clarko"

"Thanks for that-genius"

muppet

Bails was saying to Sando.

"This straight down the guts footy is the best way to go mate-I tried it at Melbourne and even they won with it.We'll get through this week and try it next week.

Just need to hope Tex kicks 10 straight and we will win"

Sando "Good stuff Bails-How we we go against the Hawks"

"We'll just march down the guts and they'll stand aside"

"Cool"

The more we get threads and posts of this ilk, the more people embarrass the Demonland forums.

we badly need a lip-reader on 'land

D B has an advantage, he now knows everything a coach should not do.

Do you want the good news, or the bad news ?

Why would any-one bother trolling here ?

Its not his first post, its his first post on his new account.

Just another DL recycling accounts to push an agenda

You're trying to draw conclusions based on: 2 videos of which there was no sound of which you don't know what the topics were.

And on top of that you're trying to add to that the meaning of whether that is enough evidence to conclude whether DB, MN or NC are good coaches or not?

Do you take into account Adelaide making finals under NC?

You only see what you want to see....
