Time to go Mark Neeld

Worst coach in the history of the game.

God i hope the paul roos rumour has some truth to it right about now!

AFL intervention might be our best chance of surviving.

 

Looks like he is totally unable to do anything to stem the flow.

I've stuck with Neeld and trusted him for the last couple years, but I'll be amazed if he survives the aftermath of this (presuming we continue playing like this)

This has been enough to change my stance. Neeld has to go.

Jackson's first move will be to get an experienced head of the FD, a Balme type but who is available??? and then address the coach. Well that was before 4.40pm today, he may not have a choice now.

Insert any name above.

 

Hard to see how Neeld can survive if this match (it is half time) continues apace.

I'll accept a loss when I know the team isn't good enough

But this result has nothing to do with that - Can't support this effort level. Lack of tackling, inability to use team mates, lack of intensity no accountability and not turning up from qtr 1 are in-excusable

I've been against emotional rash decisions but this is crap, it's f'ing Gold coast and they can't lay a tackle or hit a target

Enough is enough - whatever the result RIP MFC

Jack what do you consider to be Neeld's three best achievements?

Clark

Hogan

Viney

Three decisions you could argue would have been made under any coach, especially Hogan and most especially Viney.

I can list 49 bad decisions from Neeld on the other hand. Starting with our trading and recruiting this off season.

Boomer Harvey made the point - every player is different, and the coach has to deal with each one as an individual; people skills, Boomer stressed. Surely we've now learned that this must be part of the discussion, whenever we next interview for a coach.

New coach probably comes in with a priority pick plus jesse hogan plus a reasonable list and another draft pick if jack watts is traded, that's something at least

FFS, this is the worst coaching performance I have ever seen. The players are playing with no spirit, no confidence, and breathtaking incompetence.

Please for the sake of our club, cut out the cancer, save our club, get rid of this hopelessly under qualified coach.

I demand the board dump him forthwith,


Clearly when people said he had lost the players it was an accurate assessment. They just arent trying. Either that or our list is much worse than I could imagine. Either way you could argue that both would be at least partially Neeld's fault.

I've been in the 'give it time' camp, but I think the bell has been well and truly rung. Sure, other teams have been beaten by GC, but not smashed in every area of the game.

Jack Watts will not be traded, he's a required player


We could lose this by 100 points if we aren't careful, i actually can't see any excuse they could possibly give to keep Neeld on after this, and i have supported him in the past.

Supporters deserve better than this disaster of a team.

well done jack viney though, just hope he isn't made captain during the week.

Practising hand balling at half time on the oval. Amateur hour.

I wrote this in the other thread but they couldn't even do this with some intensity.

That is just embarrassing.

Time to bring in a seasoned coach.

 

Wherenhas our flair gone. We have hardley any player playing with natural instincts. I think Neeld has over coached these guys and they are too scared of doing whats natural

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
