Just heard on the couch about Ports first session in pre season.

After 15 minute skills session that went terrible, Hinkley brought the boys in and said 'guys we dont have time for this we cant afford this' sent them off for 3km time trial.

Tough love babey.

I could guarantee that our boys would be able to tell you a similar story regarding Neeld over our preseason (as could 17 other clubs).

But it's not as romantic when you are 1-4.

Baseless thread. You don't know that Neeld hasn't or wouldn't do the same. Critique needs to be at least somewhat reasoned.

Neeld is content with a 5 goal loss.

I'm guessing that's only part of the story - Hinkley would know the value of skills - look at Geelong!

Give me a break, this is extremely similar to how Neeld approached his first few sessions with our guys.

Pathetic thread.

Before all you Neeld apologists slam this thread, I think the point being raised is that with Neeld it's not the "what" but the "how". He's had the best intentions and footy knowledge to try and change culture but just doesn't have the people / man management skills to pull it off. I have no doubt he lost majority of players within 7 weeks of his appointment.

The people in this thread aren't Neeld apologists, they just don't get what line the OP is trying to draw. And while your points about man management may well be correct, that is not what the OP was on about.

Power will loose this weekend to the roos.

5-0 is a great start to the season, but they've only best us, GWS, suns, crows and eagles. 3 worst teams in the comp and 2 sides who aren't the teams they were last year. I'd love for us to be in that sort of lower mid half of the table range though

A mate of mine was telling me that when they used to skills sessions, such as kicking and hand balling, if they didn't hit their targets the coach would make them run for half an hour.

He would say: "If you dont hit your target during the game, you will end up on the back foot and running all day (like what happened did with Brisbane). SO YOU DIDN'T HIT YOUR TARGETS... SO START RUNNING!"

He said there was a big improvement after a week. More urgency, handled pressure a bit better, a little bit fitter and they would hit their targets

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
