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.

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
