Some one posted earlier that they were saying on a radio station that no one as being put up for media commitments.

Maybe they think if they stay in the rooms all night hey can be away without speaking

On radio 3lo after the game they said,"Melbourne Football Club is not making anyone available for comment." But I thought they meant not available to 3lo. Didnt think they meant there wasnt one. Are they allowed to do that??

The club did not make anyone available for comment.

We actually have to provide them with someone for a press conference as part of the TV rights deal, so we will get a fine for this. Obviously they were in serious discussion whether Neeld was to be moved on.

Yeah mmm good point.

This either reflects very well or very poorly on the club. Either they're doing what needs to be done and not letting media commitments get in the way, or they're so incompetent that they can't even figure out how to run a press conference.

They play Rock Paper Scissors to see who goes up, but so far they haven't quite figured out a defensive game plan so everyone keeps losing and it's making it very confusing to pick who actually has to front up.

Give it another 5 years, I hear that's the timeframe.

Now I have calmed down a bit...

I don't like seeing anyone get sacked. This bloke has a family to feed and the situation he has walked in to is pretty bloody tough.
But he must go. For himself and for us. The last few weeks have been merely about self preservation, of his job and likely of his health. I have been here before. When you know you are stuffed and you really are just counting the days till you resign, are asked to leave or your contract runs out. You aren't doing yourself or the people in your charge any favors by hanging around as you can't pretend you are motivated and everyone knows you are killing time.

Mark, and I say this with no glee, you need to move on.

Time the club tell the media to go FFS.

Nothing they report has any influence on me as a supporter.

I get 2 hours every week to watch what any fan needs to see from us.

I just tweeted Mark Robinson about it and asking him whether something could be brewing.. waiting for a response

Ahhhh.......probably reflects the sign of crisis before blood is spilt.

And given how insipid they were no words were going to sensibly or reasonably explain it away.

And anything said would just be ridiculed.

The media would only want to know the answer to the question...."can the future of the coach be guaranteed this week?"

.....Hard Question......but there is an obvious and likely answer...NO.

He walked in with his eyes open and should have known the situation. He must be on around $400k per year and is going to be paid out about 18 months.

Coaching is a hard gig. Neeld is realising that.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
