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'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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
