2013 - The Year of Neeld



Recommended Posts

I strongly believe that, beginning with 2013 and while Neeld is coach of the MFC, we will never endure another losing season...his mantra "hardest team to play against" will ring in the players and supporters ears for a decade or more.

You're not listening. Bailey's game was all run and carry. It got him the sack.

Neeld is trying re-balance the ledger. It takes time. You'll see far more spread this year.

Pretty sure WYL is listening chief. Bailey's game was run and carry, most of the time backwards, sideways or the wrong way.

I think WYL was saying that considering the MCG is our home ground, how is it our players haven't figured out how to use its open spaces to their advantage. But firstly they need to be fit enough...that's the starting point.

I thought you guys liked this thread? Why are you talking so much about me and so little about the topic, or mudbaths, or lesbians, or all the other BS you post here that's not footy related.

Your best mate is often seen on there on Sunday mornings "Insiders"

A very balanced Program.

He was a token conservative, but didn't appear this year due to his new show on a rival network.

Seeing as you're interested in my humour... It's hilarious that you call "insiders" balanced.

Are we talking Bolt or Akerman? After reading Kinky Friedman novels, I seriously wonder about Akerman's conservatism.

Dean Bailey's forward spread and running patterns were outstanding - when they were on! It was the almost total absence of defensive structures around the ground that stuffed us around. Even really good defensive footballers like Chip found it tough to be defensive with no structure for support.

2013 will be a pleasure/pain year for mine.

PLEASURE

I don't reckon we will get beaten once by 10 goals. We will slowly become that team who is hard to beat. Most of our losses will be within 20 points.

We will surprise lazy teams like Bombers, Tigers, St. Kilda and probably beat them

Our skill level will finally rise. Blease, Toumpas, Watts, Clark, - these players are skillful and will be delivering into our forward 50.

We get to see a spine of Frawley, McDonald, Jones, Dawes, Clark and a midfield including Trengove, McKenzie, Sylvia, Grimes, Viney, Toumpas etc...

Our body size means we match it at the contest with Pies, Eagles, Hawks, Swans.

PAIN

Through inexperience and some brain-fades we will lose to teams we should beat - Brisbane, North Melbourne etc...

Our skill level will hurt us when we think we are past the worst

Our interstate record is appalling and I can't see this changing too much yet. GWS and Suns aside.

10 wins maximum for me this year.

having Bolt and Ackerman on gave you a very loud voice.

Insiders is a very balanced show. Barry is a great man who wouldn't have it any other way.

No, it's not balanced. And Cassidy was Hawke's Press Secretary when he was Prime Minister. He's not as bad as some, but often his bias shows. I won't take your word on Barry's greatness. I wouldn't take your word on anything.

Fine. I am really not concerned.

We all know your views.

Yes, they're conservative.

And we know yours too. A lefty who worked/works for the ABC that thinks Insiders is "balanced" and that Hawke's former Press Secretary is a "great man". And one who knows all about "climate change", because he "follows weather patterns closely".

You're a laugh a minute.

no you have no idea what my views are.

You just think all ABC Employees think all the same way in one direction.

Not true i assure you.

But dream on.

Thanks, anything for the ABC boys. Not many laughs there.

Tell me WYL, how many of your posts have been made while you've been at work?

?... that question could apply to 99.999% of those who post on here... not just ABC employees.

I have never understood the animosity directed at the ABC myself... especially when you consider the ownership of commercial networks/press and their often unabashed political leanings. And before anyone jumps on the taxpayer funded bus, we all pay for the other networks in one way or another.

Just as many as yours sunshine..

Just imagine what Australian Media would be like WITHOUT the ABC for a moment.....

Rupert would have a field day...The ABC is far more balanced than that [censored].

Spot on HT.

They all watch it and are secretly glad old Aunty exists.

The adjective "Balanced' is being used as an affirmation of being a "Gemini" and also as a description of Andrew Bolt.

It would give me something to think about if I wasnt working.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
