PJ staying on is indeed positive news. The AFL will also welcome it and our rewards will come from them, as a result of it.

Don't mind this - we are in charge, not the [censored] media.

The bit I don't like is the disconnect b/n Neeld (the expectations were clear and the board knows where we are) and this statement ("Our on-field performances have not met expectations this year")

They don't meet up and that really worries me... someone's not telling the whole truth here...

how can they be quoting someone who was at the meeting when supposedly the meeting is still going??

In addition, surely there would be confidentiality agreements in place regarding the discussions of those board meetings, and protocols on how information is to be presented.

If someone has leaked information to the media from the meeting, they should be removed from the club immediately.

Fark !! We will have no personnel left ... Who else do we want removed ?? ..As usual all MFC Members kept well and truly in the dark... We will be told soon.... VIA the media !!!

Aparently Neeld was in there for 90min as opposed to his usual 30min. If they were going to fire him surely they wouldn't drag it out, seems like it'd be something they'd get done quickly, unless they were using the 90min to tell him everything he's done wrong.

Clearly just a man saying anything he canto try and keep his job.

Couple of scenarios:

  • Neeld not the immediate FD issue, with others changes to be made while Neeld has remainder of season to prove his value. OR
  • Neeld given tonight to decide how to exit, i.e final game vs Pies, leave tomorrow, stay in caretaker role while replacement found, etc...
  • Neeld offered contract extension, he's deciding on 3 yr or 4 yr extension ;)

Can't find it on their twitter feed #936Hobart... Did you mean that he'd been sacked <via> Twitter??? If that't true then I give up. I just can't believe that we would do that...

Edited to be a bit clearer...

Yes ABC seems to know something everybody else doesn't.

Just when you think you can give the F5 key a rest!

The announcer claims the ABC received the information through Twitter !!! What a totally unreliable source... The Twitter account holder has not been named ..Could be a load of BS !!

I'd hazard to say that is our reward from the AFL.

I'm glad, but not surprised, PJ's staying on longer term. He obviously knows this isn't a job of simply straightening the ship, first he's got to stop it from sinking!

I find this so funny, all these muppets of the media standing outside all day waiting for blood and all they got is jack schitt.......let them wait I say.

Perhaps not a disconnect: what if we are on track with off field kpis and failing on field kpis. Neeld is of the opinion that on field will follow when off field are right, so isn't as concerned with on field kpis. The board have told him today, the onfield kpis just got a while lot more important.

Another sign of weak leadership at the MFC.

Oh well I know what I will be doing with my vote later on this year.

Aren't you happy at least. That the media was wrong again. Also that McLardy said at the presidents lunch that they will look at the FD over the next 2 weeks.

Surprise Surprise he told it as it is and no one listened.

Well that sounds like nothing was decided.

Aside from Jackson staying on.

Spot on Redleg. PJ staying for 18 months was a definite an clearly reflects the size of the task ahead.

Rest is a non decision and everyone and everything still "under assessment".

Not a positive for M Neeld or rest of FD or DMcLardy. Whilst it is good the MFC Board has not been pressured into making a decision tonight for the 6 pm news the absence of any decisions or time line means the speculation and pressure on both the Coach's and President's positions will not stop and may well increase. A poor QBday crowd will add to pressure on AFL to act if MFC Board does not.

He also refused to make comments on Neelds future

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
