SACK BRIAN ROYAL

[H_T 3,043]

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

Less Moloney...

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

The valid issues you raise about the midfield are issues through out the team. Royal implements the game plan of Neeld based on the players on the list determined by Neeld and trained to the specifications of Neeld/Misson. And I have already explained the issue why the disposition and accountabilities of Royal is different to Neeld. You should send your beef to Mark Neeld. After being the midfield maestro at the Pies he could benefit from your insights.

Do you reckon this is a typo, or has there been a reshuffle?

Make him the forward coach so that he can clean sweep the ruination of our list.

Funnily enough, when Burgan introduced him he introduced him as midfield coach...

Will somebody mention the elephant in the room.... Leigh Brown. I've watched this talentless guy sprint on and off the field at each quarter time break, and its like he can't wait to get out of the public eye. Our forward structures are terrible, proven goal kickers are demoralised (Watts down back, Davey on the outer, Petterd gone), and guys that were once great backmen are played out of position as though someone is trying to re-invent the wheel (Garland, Rivers). At a basic level players need to respect their coaches. Do any supporters really think that Neeld-Royal-Rawlings-Brown have the playing group believing they have a successful game plan to implement?

Yes, it is only a minority of self opinionated tossers on here who hate everything about the MFC who don't

Maybe just sack his brain but keep his body.

Implant the brain of another midfield coach instead.

Worth a try.

I think it's possible that Brown deserves some praise actually. Aren't we number one in the league for converting inside 50's into scores?

We just don't get enough inside 50's thanks to the midfield.

"Leigh Brown. I've watched this talentless guy sprint on and off the field at each quarter time break, and its like he can't wait to get out of the public eye"......talentless? nearly 250 games at AFL level, yeah right.....out of the public eye, he sat next to me and my lovely lady at Port watching Casey last weekend..........laughable.........

Django here are some stats I've looked up...

Back line:

- rebound 50s: avg 38 per game (ranked 6th)

Mid field:

- clearances: avg 33 per game (ranked 18th)

- inside 50s: avg 43 per game (ranked 18th)

Forwards:

- goals: avg 11 per game (ranked 16th)

- marks inside 50: avg 9 per game (ranked 16th)

- goal accuracy: 52% (ranked 9th)

Team:

- wins under Neeld: 5 (win rate 18%)

- tackles: avg 59 per game (ranked 12th)

- percentage: 56.10% (ranked 18th)

Satyriconhome I don't hate everything MFC. In looking for answers like everyone else. I admire you for standing up for Brown. I'm also glad to see he's watching Casey games. I simply don't see any reason for him to be coach. The skeptic in me feels he is a close friend of Neeld from Collingwood days. Players play because they are motivated by and believe in their coaches.

Okay so I've bolded the one that can be attributed directly to Brown and ninth in the league isn't a bad result.

Goals per game does not reflect on Brown only - that is the entire team and in particular the midfield. How are we supposed to kick goals when we can't even get the ball there? It's pretty simple.

Marks inside 50, see above.
