Rumour of heated argument Viney Snr & Neeld


Pennant St Dee

Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard anything of Todd Viney and Neeld having to be separated after last weeks game. I know most of what Kim Hagdorn says is absolute crap but on 6pr this morning Peter Bell, Karl Langdon & Hagdorn were discussing Melbourne and Hagdorn interjected with the rumour that there was a heated exchange between Neeld & Melbournes head of recruiting Todd Viney and they had to be separated before it ended up being a something serious.

Hagdorn said Neeld is in trouble if you are falling out of favour with a member of the clubs Team of the century and they will lose tonight, next week to the Eagles and then Round 4 against the Giants who will beat them Neeld could be sacked, He then asked who do they get to coach or who would want to coach them.

As I said Hagdorn is off the mark most of the time and I am not even sure that Viney is still our head of recruiting (thought Jason Taylor was now performing this role) but Hagdorn used the name Viney after saying the clubs head of recruiting.

Has anyone heard anything along these lines

Heated arguments are not always bad.

Yes my thoughts but just surprised hadn't heard anything and everything Hagdorn reports is just a rehash of one of Caro's or Robbos articles

This has to be crap. An official of the club and also father of a new player fighting with the Coach after the first game, hardly likely.

My thoughts exactly but I just want to make sure before I bring it up next time I ring up and speak to the knobhead

I remember when Bailey was coaching back in 2011, we were playing like shite, viney went over to bailey and the coaches group at the huddle, and pretty much started dictating terms. He was very animated and very agitated.

Just like all of us who are emotionally connected to this club, we get very angry when our club performs pathetically. Viney is the godfather of this club, and if he thinks neeld deserves a spray, I'm all for it.

Todd is the most valuable piece on this chessboard.

This.

Scroll down to the thread titled "I chose to be the wolf: Bernard Hopkins and the "Warrior Spirit". In it I refer to a heated altercation that occurred between Matt Scarlett and Steve Johnson early in 2006. A few home truths told at a bar one night led to a few right hooks and uppercuts. Later they would patch things up and go on to lift three premiership cups.

If true, it could be good. It could be bad. But you know what? At least it's bloody well something!!

what rubbish is this?

No One sprays the coach, in public or in earshot of anyone. full stop. if it was near to this, then you go to the footy manager & the board...

Do you think viney is afraid of anyone or any club protocol?

In my eyes, viney is the boss.

Norm Smith and Ivor Warne-Smith used to require physical separation on occasion over arguments about team selection. And they were friends, passions run high, thats ok. What is more important is solidarity at the club.

if Viney did this in front of any of the matchday group he should lose his job.

that is not how a senior match official would or should act.

that would Not help anything around the club.

Yeah, locked away in a selection room..

not in front of the players when the club is raw after a cleanout & players are unsure of whats going on around the place.

This is a time of great unrest, when doing the hardest job of all, changing the cultural fabric of a club.

And its the time when the Coach needs the most backup from those in the footy dept.

Todd would understand this totally & he would have also been heavily involved in the cleanout.

You only do things like that out of desperation.

I wold not doubt there was a heated discussion (or argument) after the game. The game is about passion and despite Neeld's public personal the glimpse's of passion does leak out at times. Viney is the same. So in private I expect strong works and views are exchanged. if its kept in that place its okay as mentioned once the passion is focussed on task the club benefits its only a problem if it becomes personal.

Healthy debate and counter views s what all organisations need and the ones that listen thrive.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res
