Time to go Mark Neeld

[bandicoot 1,395]

15 more minutes remaining with Neeld at the helm..

Good riddance

[Jonesbag 487]

I literally cant defend this guy after this crap.

Bring in anyone

Ill put my hand up, first act put Blease in

Second act, delist Nicholson Mcdonald

Third act Win Premiership

[S.R.J 418]

Does this mean that when we bring in a new coach we will be rebuilding a rebuild of a rebuild....WTF

[damon the demon 57]

Sack Neeld. It might not really be his fault, but it might be, but who knows, who cares at least it's something.

[Moonshadow 16,572]

Can't see how Neeld can last much longer, but replacing coaches mid season will not fix a thing. Our pathetic situation is far more than just the coach. We'd kill the career of Roos, Clarkson or Woosha, the way we are ATM.

[Ted Lasso 17,290]

What if we bring in a new coach and start winning? whoever hired Neeld should go hide under a rock if that happens.

Sack the coach and let the players play man on man footy, and tell them to just take the game on.

Yeah im sure that will fix everything

[Scoop Junior 3,100]

pm24: I said that we had gone backwards this year and you strongly disagreed with me.

I wonder if you still think that way.

[whatwhat say what 20,257]

Craig is already coaching from the boundary line.

Press conference at 4pm tomorrow I'd wager.

[Benson 254]

Yep, because that the the meaning behind my comment...

Go pick up your teddy from the corner!

Your probably an arm chair footballer that has absolutely no idea about the game at all, go get your opinions from the Herald Sun and make out like they're your own

I'm new to this forum but I'm absolutely amazed that any supporter of our club could consider anything other than sacking Neeld this week. I'm sure he's a nice guy, I'm sure he's got a good football brain, but blind Freddie can see that even with those attributes his ability to guide and nurture this team of young players is sorely lacking.

I suspect that Neeld is just the pointy end of the problem though, I suspect that the entire administration is a hopeless rabble. Yes we have many of our best players injured. Yes they are a young squad, but playing the way they did today indicates a far deeper problem with the club's culture than inexperience and a few injured players.

If this club was a business turning over $40 mil, and skilled and talented employees were performing the way our players are, you'd sack the CEO and probably the operations manager. There's no leadership at board or operational level. If your workers don't want to turn up to work every day and underperform as a result, look to management for the answers.

Neeld has to go, probably McClardy as well, there's no option, absolutely none.

No he won't he will be on the tele as usual telling us it's not his fault. As I said elsewhere Lyon was a good footballer but has no idea about football.

Wow! 100 pages.

[Madness 44]

Can't defend this joke anymore, time is up Neeld, good riddance!

[Pennant St Dee 11,740]

Ive been against quick decisions because I dont think it achieves anything. But today was the straw which broke the camels back. Tough decisions need to be made. The players had no desire or passion and there are no excuses for not being ready to fire from first bounce. Peter Jackson is no fool and knows the decision on the coach is going to have to be made now!

[Robbie1 5]

And furthermore, I've been a loyal supporter of this club for 55 years, I've seen one flag when I was 12 years old. Most of you on this forum, loyal supporters all I presume, wouldn't have had that previlige. As a supporter group we are ultimately responsible for what's occurring right now with the Dees. We are critical but probably inactive as well. We all hear the jokes about Melbourne supporters, up the snow, range rovers etc, etc. there is of course an element of truth about that, we're only passionate when things are either good or bad, we care less at other times.

The membership and supporters need to address this, but not with anger, don't crucify Neeld or McClardy (hands up who wants either job), find other people to do their jobs yes, but thank them on the way out (the door).

If we want our club to succeed we need to forget the Stynes years, forget the Barrassi years, and look to the future with exceptional personell and a clear vision. Haven't had that for a long time.

[Ted Lasso 17,290]

Neelds gone, they can't justify this as part of our development, we are embarrassing

Terry Wallace talked of the players smelling a dead duck coach, he felt that with the Tiges. Same thing here.

[angrydee 842]

No more. I was all for waiting til the end of the year for the inept one to go.

But I cannot take this soul destroying rubbish any longer.

Get rid of this useless excuse ridden garbage heap of a coach NOW!!!!

I can't honestly believe that after today we can find a single reason for keeping Neeld.

I was happy to sack him later in the year, but this team is now at breaking point. No good will come from keeping this coach for weeks on end with a death sentence shadowing his every move.

[Return to Glory 7,846]

You're like a broken record WYL, your spelling is mediocre, I'm actually getting more optimistic the further we get into the season

It is only you and a few others on this Board that are wallowing, like I said wish I had a graphic of a person sitting at a keyboard with a rain cloud above their head, then you and your fellow wallowers could just post that and not the repetitive nonsense you keep posting......put yourself up for President like I said before, start a petition or shut up about Don McLardy, its boring

I assume you meant Watts about freezing, you judging him in comparison to your playing days?

I think it's safe to say that your first line sums up your knowledge of the game. Edited May 12, 2013 by Return to Glory

Sadly, its time to agree.

The experiment started last year. There has been nothing since that time that gives ANY indication that the experiment will succeed.

2 provisos:

• what effect would sacking Neeld have on the players? They are at rock bottom now; just might be enough to finish them
• what has been the effect of the never-ending dramas on the individuals at the club. As Jackson said, it might be deep

ED. Is there a crisis meeting at the club tonight? If not, there should be. As Jackson said: supporters want to know what the hell is going on
