Neeld Post Match - Platitudes and other nonsense talk

Featured Replies

He should be ashamed of himself for not sticking up for the players. It's no wonder they don't give two shits about him and have no fight in them. If the coach won't fight for them, why should they fight for him?

It's like working for an [censored] boss who makes you do things you don't agree with, and when you get questioned, your boss does not take blame or accountability. Pathetic.

 

Please don't tell me he said that. That's the same approach he took at the start and why he never had the players buy in. There has always been a lot of 'they' statements. I picked that up very early on ( not alone in picking it mind you) and never liked it.

If the boys win its 'we'. Lose and it's 'they'. I have waxed and waned regarding this bloke but I think his ego is ahead of his capacity to do the job. One of those blokes who probably interviews well. Cannot now wait to see the back of this overly intense buffoon.

Intense buffoon is a bit over the top. Neeld can't coach and obviously has problems in the area of motivational addresses but the guy does have some passion. Sad for him. No other club would have gone close to picking him ? Was all such a rush. Damn it!

Viney and Sylvia tried for him . The rest half baked.

I'll retract buffoon Tpm. Overly intense..no.


144 attempted tackles... only 36 stuck!

I agree with this. Particularly the "The way Viney goes about his game is the future of this club."

He has highlighted a 3 game player, essentially saying the rest are sh*t.

Viney might be the future, but 4 or 5 years away.

FFS back them, the players, to the hilt in public....then beat the sh0t out of them in private.

Won't be watching any more of the presser sh9t until Neeld is gone.

I'm honestly staggered by that. I don't dislike him but lines like that make me question his character.

Please for gods sake, enough of this. He has to go.

He has a point though.

Its chicken and egg.

He ain't telling to play like that but they are and he wears the heat.

 

No player would deliberately go out and not try. Do you think they want to be seen as shite?

The reality is we have the worst list in the comp.

Geez I'm seriously peeved at the moment. Could this season get any worse?

Having watched the presser, the context in which Neeld dropped that line was more innocent than it sounds prima facie. I don't think he was trying to lay blame solely on the players. Still, he needs to be extremely wary of such statements.

I would not be so sure about that.


Neeld as a teacher should know what to do when the messages are not getting through.

I am sure he has tried many ways.

But to not shoulder the blame as a senior coach in the presser was just incredible.

I think he knows the dream is over....

The presser is disgusting, end of story.

all faith in Neeld is gone.

The AFL dictact that their must be a player as well as a coach

McKenna did his alone......

I think they were asking questions about his likely ability to hold his job in the face of such losses and he was deflecting the comment and asking the reporters to focus on the play and players rather than his coaching tenure

Cant believe that he would say the first 1/2 was great & they were proud of them @ 1/2 time!

WTF we lost to an expansion team by 10goals....our tackling & skill level was a disgrace!

The team is playing worse than last year & he says the players are fitter & stronger!

Edited by dees64


I can't believe he brought up our inexperience this week. I can't believe he mentioned we were weak around the contest after not bringing in Magner. He deflected answers for 10 minutes then Jones gave a clear account of what happened in 2.

What an absolute shocker he has been. New coach can turn this around we are playing 8-10 goals worse than we need to be under Neeld.

The "dont look at me, look at the players" was utterly disgraceful

Taken completely out of context.

Neeld was asked about his inexperience as a coach and was trying to say "don't worry about me being inexperienced - the inexperience on the field is the issue".

Even still, it makes you question if this is really the job for Neeld, maybe we need someone who has seen it all before.

Everyone here has every right to be absolutely spitting chips but the presser was fine. The two concerns highlighted here (the strength factor compared to GC and the look at the players stuff) are ridiculous. The strength stuff was used as an example of how poor we were and explained why we missed so many bloody tackles and the don't worry about me line was a re-hash of something he said after the Essendon game. He was actually going in to bat for the players suggesting he's big enough and ugly enough to deal with the aftermath of yet another thrashing but feared for the psyche of his young team.

The real concern was the three hours that occured before the presser. There's a carcass there that is still warm. Forget the presser.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
