Can we ever get someone on this board who is/doesn't:

1) not negative about everything?

2) crack the s***s if someone says something against the club?

No

1). Posters need it in their life to mask their own inadequacies

2). No cracking the shits, more finding the constant negativity tiresome

This topic is three pages of hot air in my humble opinion

Guys when a club is in the pitiful state the MFC is in there will be unhappy people.

People are going to complain.

Human Nature guys just suck it up.

A win on Sunday will see it drop by a significant degree.

Coincidentally, the past two weeks have heralded a great turnaround in Garland's intensity and overall form. Perhaps he had somewhat of a falling out with the coach (which has now been rectified). Hell Gates certainly had some bad things to say about Neeld. Perhaps he got some of his info from Colin.

At any rate, it's clear that the longer we give a tough-as-nails footy nut like Neeld, the better he'll get. I mean, the guy has kept every handout he's ever gotten as a coach. Clearly he's motivated to get as good as he can.

I think the Mods might need to clear the decks on HG and his last few efforts on here and if he was being honest with his comments around what he knew from his "player brother". If those comments lead people to believe Neeld was one way or another with the players when it was not factual....

This isn't yet another doom and gloom thread.

I just read the AFL.com article that quoted Colin Garland as saying Neeldy is coaching better than he ever has. In particular, Col (Garland, not this one) said that he was impressed at how he let the boys just play instinctive footy and has done a good job in protecting the players from the fall out of the three beltings at the start of the year.

Has Neeldy started to come to the realization that he needs to work with the players, rather than work against them? Has he realized that he can be authoritative as a coach but not authoritarian? Has he discovered that he can have a relationship with the boys but when the time comes he is able to tell them what is and what is not on?

I don't want things to go back to the time of Bailey when players were calling the shots exclusively but I have wanted him to at least become a little more flexible in his approach. What do others think?

I think he has come to this realization but he has come to it pretty late. Whether or not it will save him as a coach remains to be seen.

give it a rest, we all make mistakes and move on, maybe the negatives dont wont to do that in case they are proven wrong.

its never to late as you put it . to change your style and handling of certain players. im sure some people on this site have never been involved in real football.by the way i think this board has made a decision to stick with the current coach and fd until the end of 2014 and then see where the list is. so if you dont back them now , you may as well follow sth colac for the next 18 months

Hey, I'm happy about it! If he has changed, then great! I'm not cheering for him to be fired at all. The bit at the end was just looking at things realistically. I was like anyone else after the first two rounds and was mightily pizzed off. I was convinced that he had to go ASAP. I think however, and I yet may be proved wrong, that Neeldy has started to relax a little and has started to work with the players rather than dictate to them. If that's the case, then fantastic.

Yep, but have you actually tested its veracity?

Love it. There should be a button underneath poster names to play their theme song as you're reading their posts.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
