Seriously this is our midfield coach and he has had little to no impact on our midfield group. Our midfield stinks bad but we do have few goodies in there and he has had absolutely no impact on their game. Time for a coach that has been involved in a premiership and who has been a great leader. I'm thinking a Brett Kirk or Cam Ling.

yup.
Too much time at it with no result or sign of improvement.

get ratten back as a midfield coach

but today doesnt really prove much, spencer and gawn are still a little ways off being the ruckman that will take over the game

but it is frustrating to watch the clearances continually be dominated by carlton and constant goals from stoppages

He has failed miserably to teach the spread badly as I said we need better mids but seriously our blokes stink under this hack of a coach.

[censored] him off NOW

And Royal has sooooooo much talent to work with as part of a game plan from a senior coach who has been so successful so far.

Neeld is working with the same talent and you want him sacked.

He's got blackmail pictures of someone at the club.

SNAP!

Would love the dees to go after Ling if this spot Evans available

Haha self stitch up Rino?

And Neeld please.

Burn!

Royal is a cancer to our team. I've mentioned it before, he stuffed our back line 2 years ago after Wellman had it purring in 2010

Mids are ok then as well. Just hopeless now !!

Forget Royal, sack the skills coach; oh! I forgot we don't have one.

We do have some talent (all teams do) but I am now amazed that someone special "handed to us on a platter" in Viney, is now looking to be stalling. There is something serioulsy wrong with our coaching/development team.

We need to do something about this before ruining another generation.

Definitely I think he needs to go. Has had a lot of time at the club and has not got one area he was involved in to click.

Does anyone know at what point he took over the midfield?

Royal is rubbish, but I thought our midfield was pretty good today, considering the talent out there. Our midfielders didn't seem to be as static as in previous week's and I'm inclined to think it might have had something to do with Spencer and Gawn's ability to tap. We didn't seem to set up so loose today either. We had numbers on both sides of the stoppage, although there few a few exceptions that were glaring. Royal has to go, but I thought today our midfield was far more effective. I still fault them for a lot of the scores against. One on one, our backline was almost fantastic, but by foot they were atrocious. Once again, that seems to be a very taxing game we're playing. The midfielders just stopped running.

Spence has to develop some strength he gets pushed aside too easily.

I'd be moving Rawlings on first. The amount of goals we have leaked this year through defenders, particularly small defenders, not being goal-side of their opponents at stoppages beggars belief.

That was an aspect of defence that Wellman was dynamite on. We should be on the phone offering to triple his salary if he'd return next year.

I'm no Royal fan but he's not got much to work with. Although that said, two taggers & a lumbering ruckman at centre bounces is a nonsense. Leaves us with only one bloke trying to get the ball.

Neeld is working with the same talent and you want him sacked.

You want to keep him??

Royal is implementing Neelds game plan. We have got problems all over the ground and have done so since Neeld arrived.

Given Neeld is borrowed time.....

SNAP!

Are good with coloured pencils as well?

Haha self stitch up Rino?

Ugh Ugh. Its Rhino to you.

Right so its the gameplan and our midfielder arent fit!

And you can work out from seat 35F in the stands or in front of your bigscreen TV that the midfield coach is rubbish?

Do you have the Tattslotto numbers for next week?

You want to keep him??

I never said that. Just highlighting your hypocrisy.

If your talent starved midfield leaks like a sieve your defence is battling a tsunami of attack from the opposition.

Lets just deal with the main coaching issue first.......
