Time to go Mark Neeld

Featured Replies

No one in history has recovered from this as a leader......he is gone. Simple. When not if. Ideally tomorrow for all concerned.

Put Craig in charge.....a mature leader who has been successful if not ultimately.

Then go get Paul Roos or mark Williams.....Williams has more energy running the changes on the tigers bench than neeld does in a pre match address......that is so wrong.

 

You are Ph.... king joking !!!!!

He is the right man the problem is you dont see it, our players are coach killers, jamar, sylvia, watts kill coaches

 

Dont worry jaded he will be gone in the morning.

Woops I accidentally replied to your post


Something is very rotten in the mojo of our team. We let moloney and petterd walk (which seemed reasonable) because they couldnt fit into a new system. However, they got 44 disposals and 176 dream team points between them in other 'new systems'. If neeld stays, this overhaul better pay dividends.

Neeld will go as no coach has brought a team out of this before,that I can remember.

The biggest problem is our players played with no heart under Daniher and Bailey and they will do it to the next coach,100% guaranteed!

Look at Neeld Schwab and Craig on Fox Sport looking Stunned..... They are three dead men walking in this club I HOPE !!!!! GOOD BYE MY ONCE LOVED DEMONS<<<< I AM GIVING UP AFTER OVER YEARS !!!!!

See you next week Soxy!

 

This underlines the fact there is a huge difference between being an assistant at a successful club and being a senior coach at a rubbish one.

We are stuck in this losing culture, a cycle of poverty if you will. The more we lose the worse the confidence is within the team, so the worse they play and the worse we get. And so on and so forth. Players, quality players, dropping sitters, fumbling, making stupid errors, looking up at an empty forward line, it's all in their head.

Mark Neeld can train them to run around unopposed and do well, but he can't instil any sort of confidence in them to do it under pressure. He himself admitted as much last week.

I actually feel sorry for Frawley and Jones and Clark and Grimes and Howe. Hell I feel for Watts when he hears people cheering his substitution. Imagine what that must do for his confidence. But that's Neeld's job. He needs to get them ready for games and instead after every break we come out and concede an immediate goal. I mean WTF is that?

He has to take responsibility for this terrible game plan, but most of all, he has to be accountable for the players' mindset, because that is the biggest problem right now.


What is really gonna go against him is the players he has brought in over the preseason. He is trying to short cut the rebuild to get some quicker results, and now we are worse.

The club needs to bring in outside help.

The players obviously don't respond to the same voices. Bring in a David Parkin or a Wayne Carey, get them to look them in the eye and ask why they aren't giving their all.

You are phuking joking We r Finished.. I no longer want to be a member of this once great but now defunct club... I wiil not be here in 2015 when they may improve ,,, this is heart breaking !! cant handle any more sorry

Well well well, look who it is! The guy who criticised me for not sticking with team has now completely contradicted himself. Get off your high horse mate. You're just like the rest of us!

Neeld deserves to do a Primus and walk out on this club. I haven't seen a weaker effort by a playing group than tonight!

I said at 3 qtr time if it got to 150 points it was goodnight Neeld. It may not be this week but there is no coming back from this.


Cant sack a coach at Round 2 it wont and shouldn't happen. Could see how he was hurting tonight, he made plenty of moves but nothing worked. Lots of soul searching this week, his crack at the big gig is falling apart so he and the player group need to work it out.

Not saying he will see out the season but just can't sack him after Round 2. Others in the club need to go first

Does Roos want to coach?

I would prefer not to change coaches again but if it happens I want an EXPERIENCED one like we should have when Neeld was appointed.

So disappointing especially for my kids.

To be honest I am gutted.

Roos will never coach us. He is not that stupid.

Neeld is gone. It may not be fair for him, but it's the right thing to do. He never had the players, so it's not like he ever lost them.

Loyalty? It's a 2 way street. We owe him nothing. Life is tough sometimes - he, like us, will get over it. Mark will live to fight another day. Time to get a new man. It's nothing personal. He is just flesh and blood like the rest of us.

Wrong bloke, wrong time, wrong club. He may somehow turn this around and you never know for sure. Can't see it though and we can't keep having heavy losses like this.

Who's next? That's more the question.

The biggest mistake we have made in recent memory was signing up this pretender and allowing R. Lyon to slip through to Freo.

I expect him to be sacked overnight.

No, the biggest mistake was bringing Schwab back into the club.


I saw this coming after less than a dozen games last year and I was ridiculed for my comments.

All Neeld had was words. Unfortunately a coach needs more than words to take a club forward.

Its not easy being:

Mentor

Leader

Strategist

Motivator

Communicator

Teacher

Hope we can find our shining knight

He has to go! Case in point- James Frawley. Used to be a good player...terrible now. Aaron Davey...often brilliant previously, now pathetic. Colin Sylvia...mercurial but had regular outstanding games and patches. At what should be the peak of his career he is demoralised and useless. Could go on but won't. Neeld doesn't have the ability to do what he claims he is doing- changing the Demons culture. He is just sucking the lifeblood out of the players. Is Roos available?

Mark and his very expensive group of "helpers" have to go!Did you see any movements at the centre bounce?As we were being trashed at the centre bounce - what did the coach do- nothing.I do not believe that he has any clue on how to coach.

 

i agree referee but do we remove him now for a caretaker or keep him while we look for a suitable replacement?

The offer to the next coach will have to include the promise of a new administration. That we can be certain of.

To make changes piece meal may not be the best idea.

the assistants , perhaps apart from Brown, also need to go.

Neeld and the rest of his coaching team can only be sacked if a lot more People buy memberships so that we can afford their severance package. Please encourage everybody you know to buy a membership so that we can get a better coach!

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
