Anyone studied Behavioural Sciences of Pyschology!?

Trying to convince the media and himself of our plight...

[Return to Glory 8,442]

Yes I have. I think you'll find that the technical term for this behaviour is raving nut job. I'm not sure of the Latin

[dees64 104]

Just copy & paste....as its the same result each week

Dont know how the club expects us members & supporters put up with garbage results for another 10 weeks?

He said best side for development is to play Collingwood hawthorn etc.. yet why wasn't toumpas kent or blease thrown in the midfield to play on a Swan, Pendles or Sidebottom??!!! Blease was left in the forward line the whole time.. Toumpas was playing a loose half back most of the game, and kent was the same with Blease why pigeon hole them in the one spot give them 10 minutes or so on Swan! Who care if he got another 5O possies it would have been a learning curve! but nope he doesn't know how to develop our young kids!

[Swampfox 190]

Well i think he actually suggested he would axe the repetitive clanger kings

I think what is holding him back is he will have too many young kids on the ground

He needs to at least try it as he is running out of options IMO

What must Couch, Magner, Taggert and Tynan be thinking

Neeld was a midfield coach and how is it that he selects defenders and forwards to do that job ?

[Mongrel Dee 56]

I just feel numb listening to MN, nothing he says means a damn thing to me. Whatever they are doing in the inner sanctum of this club it means absolutely nothing to the club supporters. The club and its supporters are living in a parallel universe.

[Stigga 25]

Yes I have. I think you'll find that the technical term for this behaviour is raving nut job. I'm not sure of the Latin

"Id est quod est..."

[dees64 104]

Why are players like spud Rodan getting games...when you have Couch & Magna getting high possesions each weak?

You would think that they are the future.......

[Suzanna 72]

If talking could win games we would be premiers now. (Sigh) it takes a bit more than that....

[CHAMP 347]

"Id est quod est..."

Or "Ludens ludentem album est album".

[Demonstone 22,567]

I think the appropriate Latin expression is "Illegitimi non carborundum".

[Swampfox 190]

I prefer the french version

Le Imbecile

I found this a very interesting comment. Do we axe the guys who keep turning it over and have a team with next to no experience or stick with the older, harder players and cop the clangers? Personally, I would love to see the "Baby Demons" hit the park later in the year and have a crack at it. You never know, they might surprise a few. Certainly Taggert needs to get a run at some point, probably Davis too although I doubt he'd help the clanger situation. I don't think we'll see Barry this year. Tynan hasn't convinced me. Couch a possibility.

What Neeld is actually saying is none of his list has a clue of how he wants them to play.

and he had a hand in how many ? being there ? just saying lol

yes communication would seem to be a problem

[Mono 455]

Senior players turning it over.....look at the list...only Dunn fits the bill (excluding Jamar who did OK?).

We don't have that many senior players.

lol

He could be talking about Jones.

You do know the Board and coaching staff are a little behind where they wanted to be!

Love to see what their plan actual was?

[Forest Demon 4,681]

For once, he was actually a bit critical and didn't treat us as idiots for at least part of the press conference.

And one senior player he would have been talking about was Jordie McKenzie. In the leadership group so has to be considered 'experienced', and continually fluffed his disposals.

Why does it take so long to see the fricken obvious .

Jack Dyer coined the description "good ordinary player"; McKenzie is an very ordinary ordinary player but he's not alone.

[Wormburner 674]

This is the first week I didn't even bother watching it, as I reckon I've seen him say the same thing after every weekly flogging over the past 18 mths...

[RalphiusMaximus 6,054]

SO, senior players who have been turning it over too much.

Jordie

Dunn

Jamar

Pedersen

Jones

Taking them all out of the side could well improve our disposal efficiency, but it would kill our ability to compete. Who do we have to replace them? Davis is about due for a run, he could come in for Dunn but his kicking is worse. Taggert as well, but there isn't a direct swap in that lot you would make for him. I don't think he has ever played as a HBF before. Couch into the midfield in place of McKenzie? Probably about the same impact, although I trust his kicking more. We have nobody who can ruck like Jamar, although Gawn seems to have a better impact around the ground. PEdersen/Sellar, little difference. Jones is our best player, but he has been missing his targets lately. Even so, no way would you consider dropping him.

[What 18,810]

Dunn and McKenzie wouldn't get a game at any other club

absolute joke they are on our list

and didnt we recently sign McKEnzie for another 3 years?

[Demon16 69]

He also started playing the injury card in this press conference too.
