Time to go Mark Neeld


Grand New Flag

Recommended Posts

Neeld had my support up until the Gold Coast game. I am so annoyed with his style now he just infuriates me every time I see him.

I have had enough of his pre/post game platitudes and sick of the same spin every week.

I would be absolutely gob smacked if he got this side to be competitive but if he proves me wrong then I will be the first to say sorry.

It is just such a massive gamble for the club to continue with him in 2014. The club including Peter Jackson will look like first class fools if we are getting flogged in the first 5 games in 2014 and then are forced to move on Neeld. Massive gamble!

He has lost me that's for sure.

So, yet another player they could not develop!

Maybe.

I think the kid was drafted at a bad time for the club. Supporters were waiting for a messiah, a hero, an icon.

JW was hung out to dry.

I hope he smashes it against Collingwood on Liz's birthday.

I hope our hero will be Peter Jackson. On field keep an eye on Jesse Hogan for future hero status.

I think that the GCS are showing that they could possibly make the eight this year.

Gamble for 2014? Maybe. Let's see what the remainder of 2013 looks like first.

I know the feeling and can feel your pain.

I feel punch drunk from footy at the moment. On Monday it will be 8 days since our last game. Enough time for the worm of hope to wend its way into my brain. Maybe we will fight and scrap and fight some more. Maybe we will win. Please bring on Tuesday for the more comforting salve of reality to be applied.

Sorry to say the MFC has as much chance of winning on Monday as it has of winning the 2013 Grand Final.

But we can dream.

I take it that means you won't be logging on to Demonland that day? ;-)

Regardless of the dubious quality of coaching we have, our attitude has to be 'we can win' tomorrow - even if those at the top can't provide a winning culture by example, those at the 'coalface' have to take a stand and draw that proverbial 'line in the sand'.

BTW, anyone notice how the 'Malthouse' game plan failed yet again on Friday night - even with a group of players who are good around stoppages, it still didn't work against a team who play more positive football - yes, I agree it was close but.....

Watching MN's presser tonight - the guy cannot be serious with a comment about expensive specialists - does he know the impression he gives with such comments?

Untill Watts learns to love physical contact he wont develop to the next level.

He was referring to Clark's medical treatment - I have no idea what he really meant, which is why I raise the issue of his comment.

I simply can't understand how anyone can continue to support Neeld. I have read the pro view..... to me the arguments make no sense.

We were again horribly out coached today. What I hated most was the change in game plan after Dawes went off. We went mega defensive in an attempt to restrict the losing margin (again to no avail), once again playing several players behind the ball. This..... the super flood, played under Neeld gives us no chance of being able to kick a winning score..... yet this was the tactic................. again!!!!!!!

THIS IS NO WAY TO DEVELOP A TEAM.

NO WAY TO BUILD CONFIDENCE!

I am sure you all noted the drop of the head once the coach effectively raised the white flag.

I have had enough of this! I hate going to games that the coach effectively gives up prior to half time. If we are to go down, lets go down fighting playing a game style that has the chance of putting some score board pressure on.

There is no upside to keeping Neeld.

AGREE

Crowds at the last three QB is 75k, 60k and today 50k

Says it all and crowds will continue to decrease but hey why get rid of Neeld.

The Ox is right he needs to go NOW

I think you need to add another dimension to your comments GNF - the weak decisions (or non-decisions) made by the Board mean they must go also.

I hate seeing coaches sacked as it means acknowledging that the club has stuffed up and a lot of wasted cash and more importantly wasted time.

Unfortuantely with MN I think we are past the point of no return. We must move on.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
