Peter Jackson report

Featured Replies

you sure, you better check that with DC? ;)

yep, confirmed by vlad on otc couple of days ago..........get up to date DL..... :)

 

My mail, which I'm assuming is what Iva's possibly alluding to is the decision to Move Neeld will be made early this week and he will coach his last game against the Hawks. Source has a 60/40 record so whether concrete or not we will see.

Queens Birthday this year will be a ripper of a game, hehe haha belly laughs all round.

Any news on who the new coach or caretaker will be PSD?

Whether Neeld is coaching the MFC or Collingwood's midfield again, we will get smashed.

Replacing Neeld before QB will make sure i am there.

Sad but true.

It makes sense. The present cannot cope with another 13 weeks.

Supporter fatigue has reached alarming levels. Jackson must be sensing this surely?

of course he would. Talkback Radio in the car on the way to the office would do that.

I hate to think the Northern side of the 'G will be empty on QB,

But it is a possibility.

That’s a fair bit of resentment over one man WYL.

I think you’re going to be disappointed when Mark is gone and nothing has changed

And how do you know nothing will change?

In the short term nothing will change Iva.

This club needs to be rebuilt from the ground up and changing coaches tomorrow will achieve very little if the correct structures are not in place.

There is no way Peter Jackson has had enough time to conduct a comprehensive review of our club allowing decisions to be made with any conviction.

So we just accept losses, the number and magnitude of which are unprecedented?

There is no certainty that an alternative path (coach) will change the situation.

It didn't change things last time we did it.

Neeld should just resign salvage his reputation a bit and for the benefit of his family too. Then we can all take a deep breath and get on with it

No, you're right, there is no certainty. But one thing is certain. If we continue down this path we are farrked.

what attendance do you predict for QB if Neeld is still coaching after we get murdered by Hawthorn?

You make good points but this situation demands urgency. Almost every knowledgable person in the football industry cannot come up with any positives for Neeld. It is sad for the man himself and his family but the club must come first, and people must be given some hope no matter how small that is at the moment. The club must get on with it and sooner the better for all concerned.

Neeld could pull a Rev and change his approach to the players and media and go out in a blaze of glory? As far as Jackson goes, he said it all on Day 4 when he said everyone was in over their head. That will be rectified should the AFL want it to be.

There is no certainty that an alternative path (coach) will change the situation.

Yes it did, Things became greatly worse. A mistake was made. Recriminations will be unhelpful, but a change now is vital.

It certainly did change things.....terribly and for the worst.

The whole process of Neelds recruitment and his performance as a coach have been totally diabolical.

As Gerard Healy has said MFC is completely bankrupt on the field and needs to act on the coach before it bankrupts us off it.

Maybe cos we hired two untried spuds?

Bring in Choco or Roos and we will start winning

Obviously I agree with you RR but I'm hoping we can put aside how this happened, and get on with the next phase.

No-one acted in bad faith. There were plenty who thought Mark Neeld would be a great appointment. It's awfully unfortunate and no doubt a good deal worse for him.

There is about to be the greatest challenge for us all, to help refix this club. With supporters like you it has a chance.

Any news on who the new coach or caretaker will be PSD?

I'd suggest Craig will be the likely appointment by default IF Neeld is moved on. When asked if he would like to coach again earlier this year he clearly said he didn't want to coach again and was happy in his present role. Now he appears to be the assistant coach or at the very least, Neeld's new 'advisor' during match day as well as a mentor/assistant to the players as they rotate to the bench. Football Director/Assistant Coach?

Regardless his role has changed in the last few weeks to be something much more "hands on" on match day. He's actively involved in some form of coaching of the players and assisting Neeld with match day issues.

Was (also) noteworthy that Neeld was sitting between Mahoney and Viney on Sunday - first time I've seen Viney in the front row like that. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
