Last night it came to my attention that Neale Daniher is still around in the football coaching circles.

Does any one think he will ever be a senior coach again?

Do you guys rate him?

I loved Neale, yes good and bad in his coaching, curious to what you think.

    No chance. Doesn't have a back up game plan and is too one dimensional.

    erm yeah.... just too one dimensional as footy manager at the WCE :unsure:

    Never say never, but he's not technically in coaching circles, it's like Neil Balme, both are still involved in footy operations, but I reckon they have left the thought of coaching behind them.

    Footy manager is nothing like a footy coach. Everyone should know that dumbass.

    He's done, if he wanted to be a career coach he'd need to get back into being an assistant coach. I actually thought he was a decent coach, just had a zero idea how to use ruckmen. We should never have lost Jolly but his refusal to play him as anything other than a chop out ruck was shocking.

    Had some great years with him though!

    Took us to a Grand Final. Neeld took us to 4 wins. Get some perspective before bagging the guy out.

    Sorry Stuie, in all fairness the same could be said for bagging out Neeld on the back of a single season, following which he has turned over almost half the playing list.

    I'm not bagging Neeld, I really like him. Just saying I can't believe how quick some are to bag a coach that got us to a GF.

    Mate, if you were told we would make the GF this year but not make the finals next year as opposed to finishing 8th both years what would you take?

    Fcuk losing another GF Stuie

    I am over it.

    Both of your scenarios are not acceptable.

    Anyway it has nothing to do with ND.

    2001 was a deplorable effort. Fact.

    Just give credit where it's due and stop being such a MFCSS bloke.

    ND got us to a Grand Final. Hard to do. Good effort, and I respect him for doing it.

    With the list we had during Daniher's years at the Dees, we should have won a premiership. Instead we lost more games than we won.

    Can coach at a level below AFL.

    Not great at development, & plays favorites.

    Nice guy, who learn't to pull the wool over our collective eyes. We were had, & so was our board.

    So no, won't be a head coach again.

    perfect analogy with balme, another nice guy we fallen for. not ACAH.

    but a great footy person.

    he should be at the bombers after they're mess ups.

    Yes it was nice to play in a Grand Final, and it is the best season Melbourne have had in my lifetime. But 2nd place means nothing

    Agree there. But it's better than 16th...

    Wow... you are a smart one, I was actually saying excactly that.

    But hey if you want to big note yourself and call others names to make up for your lack of interpretation skills. Go for it!

    Last year's flag was won by a 2nd year coach and the year before it by a 1st year coach.

    Untried assistant coaches is where it's at.

    Daniher wont get another crack.

    Daniher and Cameron re-built the list in the late 90's, finding 10 players who would go on to play 100 games or more. But unfortunately, that feat could not be repeated.


    We were good enough to play finals in 6 out of 9 years and in 2006 we were the best side in Victoria. (You would all have to admit the future seemed pretty rosy when you saw Mclean demolish St. Kilda in that elimination final).

    2007 was ravaged by an unprecedented number of injuries. It accelerated the decline of many older players and exposed just how shallow the list was.


    Be it a failure of recruitment or player development, there were too few ready to take over from the side Daniher had built 8 years earlier. We’ve paid for it.

    Well, Daniher took us to a grand final early in his term, but by the time he finished, we were a footballing basketcase.

    Neeld's job is rebuilding from the vacuum left after Daniher's 'generation' retired/were pushed, and our drafting left us with little in the tank to work with.

    Anyway, for what it is worth, I think Daniher did the best job possible in pretty shabby circumstances and was probably a better coach than a lot of people credit him for. He also doesn't seem to have made to bad a run of things as West Coast's footy manager, either. Maybe he'll be the 'ring in' at Essendon to try to clean up their governance structures from 2014 on? Hmm...

    Swooper would have been a great coach in this day and age IMO. ND... Not sure

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
