Real Demon 232 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Hasn't the media nicely sucked you all in.... Absolutely! Hook, line, and sinker!
Young Dee 1,303 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 You just dont understand the game plan. Its all about getting smashed in the first half so they will let their guard down. With the MFC is the second half that counts, if only the boys were a little fitter they would have had them. lol....that would explain our success in the 3rd quarter's this year!
Diablo Deemon 220 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 This grotesque anticipation of someone's demise is so nauseating.

Sir Why You Little 37,461 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Matt Thompson will be beside himself. Nothing has happened!! I hope the meeting goes for hours yet. The club has serious business to attend to. Home delivery tonight.
Clintosaurus 7,953 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 This grotesque anticipation of someone's demise is so nauseating. Sure is. I wonder what percentage of the 1500 AFL accredited journos actually write about matches? Probably a small minority.
Young Dee 1,303 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Absolutely! Hook, line, and sinker! I think I let go of the rod also....

Young Dee 1,303 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 So todays summary: ......... TBA at a later date http://www.afl.com.au/video/2013-06-03/footy-feed-dee-day-crow-concern-and-more http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/football-world-waits-on-neeld-verdict-20130603-2nlfq.html Melbourne coach Mark Neeld has left the club board meeting at the MCG and returned to AAMI Park accompanied by player development manager Todd Viney and high performance manager Neil Craig. There is no word yet on the outcome of the meeting or Neeld's future at the club. Neeld arrived at the monthly board meeting around 2pm, accompanied by sports performance director Neil Craig and football manager Josh Mahoney. Coaches presentations usually take half an hour to complete, but the presentation on Monday took an hour and a half. Though the meeting was scheduled, it was moved to lunchtime from an evening time slot, with many expecting the case for and against retaining Neeld to be the main point of business. Speaking on SEN radio, former Melbourne player David Schwarz said it would be unfair to Neeld, players and supporters if a decision is not made today. It is believed that if Neeld is given his marching orders, his senior assistant Neil Craig will take over as caretaker coach. The large media contingent, some of whom had been outside the club's training base AAMI Park since 6am, has now moved to the MCG. Demons president Don McLardy declined to talk about Neeld’s future when entering the meeting this morning. "It’s a board meeting, mate, it’s been scheduled all year," he said. "No other expectations." Melbourne lost to Hawthorn on Sunday at the MCG by 95 points, kicking just one goal in the first half in fine conditions. It was the club's seventh loss by 10 goals or more this season, and its average losing margin is 76.6 points. Neeld has coached the Demons 32 times, for five wins, with six losses of over 90 points and an average overall losing margin of over ten goals. Commentators including Tim Watson and Kevin Bartlett this morning felt Neeld's position was in jeopardy. Former Carlton, Fitzroy, Brisbane and Richmond coach Robert Walls also felt Neeld's role was under threat. "If the board feel … (it) is falling away and disenchanted, they (will) probably feel compelled to make a move on Mark Neeld. But if they feel that the sponsors will stick fat, (and) the members say, 'We'll support you to the end of the year,' and the players aren’t dead-set against the coach, they might just say, 'Well, we just battle on for the remaining 12 games,'," Walls told SEN radio. Walls said Melbourne's track record could make it hard for the club to attract a well-known coach if it sacked Neeld. "If they sack Mark Neeld, a prospective coach would look at them and say, 'Well, they've sacked Dean Bailey, they've sacked Mark Neeld, they've sacked (former CEO) Cameron Schwab, they've sacked this one (and) that one; I don’t know if I'd want to go into that environment. Walls said if the club axed Neeld, it should target experienced coaches such as Rodney Eade or Mark Williamsas his replacement.
DemonFrog 1,359 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Are the rest of the board still in the meeting? surely they have left! Its the all expenses paid dinner time
Redleg 42,180 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Matt Thompson will be beside himself. Then Clarkson will have 2 people to abuse as cockheads.
Strafford 182 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 You just dont understand the game plan. Its all about getting smashed in the first half so they will let their guard down. With the MFC is the second half that counts, if only the boys were a little fitter they would have had them. A cunning plan then. I propose that we also find someone with the requisIte skills to hack into the MFC computer files and up the games played for all of our players, thus allowing us to say why our players can play good football rather than why they can't. Confidence is a wonderful thing
P-man 13,367 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Matt Thompson could not have a worse head for tv. I'm reluctant to click any link that means having to look at him for an extended period.
daisycutter 30,021 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 well its been nearly 5 hours now and they are bound to be too drunk now to make any decisions
Strafford 182 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 This grotesque anticipation of someone's demise is so nauseating. Not for those who have an emotional investment in it mate. Whatever the decision it will have far reaching implications for our club.
mjt 640 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Matt Thompson could not have a worse head for tv. I'm reluctant to click any link that means having to look at him for an extended period.LOL, that's my real name.
Young Dee 1,303 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Not for those who have an emotional investment in it mate. Whatever the decision it will have far reaching implications for our club. If you think about it Neeld would be stoked to get the sack - a year and a half paid work ($600,000) for nothing! .......maybe he was tanking as coach? - here comes another investigation!
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I've been to meeting about dresses that lasted longer than this. Be patient, this is important.
