I am becoming to YouTube videos what Stuie is to gifs but as I was cruising around YouTube and found this piece from 'Labor in Power' (90's doco on the Hawke/Keating government). What Robert Ray and Gareth Evans say about Bob Hawke might apply to a certain AFL coach we talk about on this forum. (Watch till 1:28)
Edit: The second speaker isn't Robert Ray. Any idea who it is?

I totally agree with the comments made in the video and the next question is a simple one. If the 'powers to be' can't or want make a decision on the coach do well also have to change them as well? May as well do a full change in leadership and support roles and get rid of all those not capabily of performing their role and responsibilities to the standarf necessary as like any cancer cell you leave one behind and you will be infected again.

Also why does MFC need two Captain! Let pick an on field leader and trust and support him, if we need more leader then make them a Vice Captain.

I not seen multiply Captain work yet.

I believe it is Senator (NT) Bob Collins CBF - brings back a lot of political memories.

Maybe we need Keating to come down from Potts' Point to give the boys a rev up at half time? If their feelings are hurt by some of what Neeldy has to say, imagine how they will feel after PJ Keating gets a hold of them.

These next 3 games freo, hawks and pies will spell the end for Neeld the board will force him to resign as coach following 3 massive losses. Do himself and us as supporters a favour and leave, so we can all take a breath and get on with it

You know his biggest mistake was forking out the $$$ on Clarke and Dawes when he should have bought 2 quality midfielders. He seems obsessed with big forwards. Yes I know they are good players but we got no engine. A shiny car with no engine (ok a dented up piece of junk with a nice badge and no engine maybe).

personally I think the badge sucks.

I allowed Neeld more time than most but it's time. We need a real coach and we need one before the season ends.

Dont know if i have replied in this topic for a while.

Now its me or Neeld. I cant take it anymore. Its my opinion that many senior players have decided to go in the past couple of weeks.

Im off till he is gone. My family and dog will be happier.

He has failed in the first component of coaching, to even get the team up and ready to play 4 quarter football for him, for each other, for the fans, whoever. He may be a tactical genius but he never even gave himself a platform to show it, but I think we all know full well he isn't.

I thought Neeld would coach out the season but now I would be very surprised if he lasts the week. Let Craig coach for the rest of the season.

R.I.P

    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
