Wait so decision making is not the coach's domain?

No its not. It is the players responsibility not to play on when he is about to be tackled.

You can lead a horse you water but you can't make it drink. This applies to the coach and the players and this conversation.

Neeld may be sacked tomorrow, or next week or in 6 months. It won't surprise me nor will it upset me. But he won't be sacked or held accountable for that.

Keep it up mate, your Neeldy positivity campaign is good for a few laughs.

Doubt it will last after Monday night though.

I can't wait for something to happen. Anything. Neeld to go. Players to change. Something.

This is seriously horrible.

I can't stand this. I just can't.

It's not friggin good enough and it's not all the coach, but he certainly isn't helping.

Something's gotta give. These defeats are untenable. This club is untenable.

Your comprehension skills are obviously pretty poor. I am no pro Neeld, and haven't been.

I am pro common sense and rationality.

Blaming a coach for a poor on field decision is ridiculous. So is blaming a coach for being too defensive when we play on and attack more than anyone.

I am happy to discuss any problems or issues rationally but demonland is going crazy with stamp my foot, demands of change from people who are talking rubbish and not making sense.

Did he just say Ling has been working with Trenners and the MFC midfield ??

He was working with him last year too. Perhaps time Trenners sacked him.

Just to stick to the things that don't make me want to top myself:

We've had 178 disposals in a half. Much better than the last few weeks.

We're now leading clearances 20-19, and leading tackles 37-23.

That's about it really. 34 inside 50s to 19, conceding 224 disposals in a half (100+ that quarter) - the usual MFC problems.

It sounds like Neeld put numbers behind the ball. Again. I hate this move. He then uses it to defend the team afterwards ('look, we had to put numbers behind the ball early and we were under the pump all day'). Bailey used to do it too. It never, ever works. All it does is free up a dangerous opposition player to play loose and do what they want. It's an awful strategy. One of the reasons why Neeld isn't good enough.

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
