He clearly loves the club, but he's not the brightest bloke. Prime example, he essentially backed Moloney's Instagram picture, instead of bemoaning it like he rightly should have. Loved him as a player, but is very base level.

I agree with Beamer and the OX.

I reckon Neeld was always going during the bye. The decision was only made officially by the board on Friday, but it was always the most sensible time to sack him. I would have approached the AFL at the start of last week and then sacked Neeld at the end of the week, but this way works as well.

I don't really care about what Brent Moloney does, as a member he wasted my and your money last year intentionally.

What i do like is that the article the Ox wrote for the Geelong Advertiser..(shadow Written or not was 100% spot on the money...Like $cully the Ox has excellent sources...he knows the inner sanctum

Keep him close to the club...he wants success

Sensible in terms of making the board look better is that? Wait until immediately after we've played two top 4 contenders to sack him so they can decry the team's poor form, then get rid of him before we play two teams we might actually beat, thus giving them the opportunity to claim the wins are the result of their decision-making and not anything to do with playing two fellow cellar-dwellers. Pathetic and weak yet again from the board. The sooner we're rid of them the better.

Yes - following our win against GWS I thought we were really only giving Neeld and co a little more breathing space - but this was always going to be the end result.

Our form was hardly red hot before these two games though, was it? I'm with you on the board needing to go, but this decision was a no brainer and it wasn't just because we lost to Collingwood as you are making it sound. I honestly can't see your angle on this one.

I like your optimism, or do you have a crystal ball? I would wait to see what effort the team puts in the next month before I start judging Neeld's performance this year. If by some miracle they actually start playing cohesive football, then I will say the sacking was justified, however if our list is a pack of duds then Jeans, Barassi, Pagen and Smith rolled into one can't save them

I think Peter Jackson would have made the call...doubt the current board hold much grunt anymore...The last 6 years are testimony to that.

See I'd prefer him to stay outside of the club. He can push the success from his media position IMO. I think it's pretty [censored] poor of Moloney, despite not caring what he does on the footy field anymore. He continues to be an ass off it though.

Whether the Ox is inside the club or not...his sources are rock solid...when he speaks i listen to him

Brent Moloney is a [censored], he will burn his own bridges.

If you think the board have the final say on this, it might be worth thinking again. PJ is clearly pulling all the strings. I just hope nepotism doesn't come into his decision for coach like it did with Knights. I can't see him making that mistake again though.

Fair enough, WYL. He was certainly right on the Scully saga, though the way he dealt with it was reasonably counterproductive.

I agree with the Ox when he basically slates the players for not being man enough to respect the coach regardless of whether they like/agree with him.

It had to happen - clearly it was on the cards when Healy said what he did. It proved accurate.

What has amazed me is that in the presser The dud one said "he doesn't know what went wrong"

Really in that case he wouldn't have seen today coming!

Bring on the rest of the season

I enjoyed that bit too, DemonWA.

    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.

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.
