Time to go Mark Neeld

Featured Replies

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

I see what you are saying, but we can't just accept performances like that either, the players claim to be united but nothing on the field reflects that.

I think Mark Neeld needs to go, just to show the players that it won't be accepted.

 

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.

As much as he can string some concise words together as a 'footy analyst' on Triple M, I think you're right.

Peter Jackson has my vote of confidence. Neeld had it but lost it. Neil Craig is in charge of sports performance... I rate him highly so just what is the problem down there?

 

It was said a long time ago, early last year by Grant Thomas I believe, that Mark Neeld was the first coach to lose the players before a game was played, this I thought was rubbish, but my eyes, with the benefit of hindsight tells me otherwise.

What a horrible situation we are in:

Sacking a coach so early into their tenure is not a good way to encourage high quality potential applicants, and is a costly process; but

Keeping a coach who has lost the players and supporters is not a good way to encourage high quality players (stay or arrive), and is a costly process!

For what it's worth I would love to see Neeld just take a man on man approach, with his focus soley on the midfield. The backs and forwards will benefit significantly from any improvement from this area.

Here's an idea - sack the coach and then have a lottery on thursday night to allow a member to coach for a game.


There is zero unity demonstrated on the field in this group. The empty rhetoric coming out of the club is only fooling some. No player can be happy putting together these utterly shambolic performances, the likes of which we haven't seen, and after 20 months, they are undeniably Neeld's product.

I see little point in waiting til season's end to make what is an obvious call.

I thought Grant was being negative and outlandish. I thought the same of King when he said similar. I defended neeld despite strange decisions - pushing Moloney out; making a kid a captain; poor performances, low morale/confidence. I thought that at least with a preseason and some recruiting tweeks we will get to see what Neeld can do and I think all anyione wanted to see was effort. Instead we see a list of players playing for themselves, hoping they arent the one that looks the worst in the highlight reel.

Ah better times. The Daniher years were great.

I often wonder whether we ever had a chance of getting Ross Lyon and where we would be right now if we had moved harder on that?? Maybe im just dreaming


the reverend started our [censored] slide remember

Under Daniher we didnt sack out captain (James McDonald) or shaft Robbo and Bruce. Under Daniher even in 2006 we still had a half decent list although there were some obviously poor recruiting decisions even make then (or as far back as Luke Nolan or what ever his name was - but they can happen to anyone). Under Daniher we didnt tank so overtly that it was obvious to everyone and it ended in our brand getting tarnished just to get a pick that wanted out of the club as soon as he could.

Things were a little dicey in the last years of the Daniher tenure but things went to joke territory afterwards and Im yet to see anything to indicate that its changed...

Surely Neeld isn't going to get through this?

I am so frustrated at Neeld, I am so frustrated at the players.

Watching from the stands today highlighted how poor our standards are.

It was unbelievably bad, I cant believe some of the things I saw behind the play... just basic basic stuff

Well, everyone except Darren Jolly it would seem.....................

Neeld: "We just couldn't match the body strength of Gold Coast"

lol

i am now on the Neeld has to go bandwagon.

The club must do everything in its power now to get Roos IT IS URGENT!

I am normally anti sacking mid season but this is very unusual circumstances. Neeld has lost me totally....

I now hate going to watch this team in its current state,

Well...who'd have thunk it - even only a month or so ago.........

Yeah I'm done with Neeld. Seeing the suns coast through the middle of the ground with such ease made me sick. I have defended Neeld and asked for time but we have none to give.

Neeld: "We just couldn't match the body strength of Gold Coast"

Hahahaha...

I reckon now is the time to give John Northey a call.

At least he will get the players attention.

 

I feel for Neeld I really do. he must be losing confidence in himself and his ability to coach. I really thought he was the man for us. Im sick of getting in new people, But I fear that more players will walk, players we need because they are sick of losing.

Ultimately they're the ones who can do something about that, being lazy and sooky makes them half the problem.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
