Post Match Press Conference

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.

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.

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.

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
