I would prefer it if Schwab was on there...."Your last extension Cameron...Please explain the absolute waste of members $$$$..."

I would prefer Gary answer that question.

Can't see any upside here.

Needs to sleep on it before backing up so soon................surely will deliver a few whacks.

You guys might not be familiar with a Deed of Release. He won't say anything bad about the Dees - otherwise they can get out of paying him.

He is now looking for a job. Best for him that he gets on the front foot.

I've no doubt he will as always be understated and diplomatic and will refuse to point fingers.

I would be thrilled if he cut loose and let the board have it with both barrels.

Understated and diplomatic are certainly not words I would associate with Neeld.

But I would hope he has the good grace and sound judgemental to avoid the cheap swipe. He should move on.

And I agree with poster that suggest Neelds appearances would mitigate any attempt to put the spotlight on Lyon who will once again be hopelessly conflicted.

That's not necessarily true. His payment was for early termination of contract not for what could be said on a footy show unless that is term of the payout. Do you have evidence that he did sign such a Deed?

FWIW, it serves him no purpose to pot anyone.

You would assume a well drafted employment/ coaching contract would include a thorough 'conduct unbecoming' clause that is applicable to any termination/payout.

However this is the MFC so who knows

The MFC has wasted money by extending CS contract. Can blame a person trying to earn an income!

Excellent strategic move by Neeld (assuming he says the right things). He's now looking for a job and this is the best way to advertise his strengths. He knows he's not going to get another senior coaching position, but he would presumably want to show that he's still got what it takes to be an assistant coach. Going on TV on the day he's been sacked shows his strength of character and, if he says the right things, also his strategic skills.

While I'd be interested in what is said, I'd rather cut my testicles off that watch that show with he ambulance chasers, the velvet sledgehammer and Gary "I'll run in, stuff everything up and then bag the club for making mistakes that I told them too but it's not my fault, I have no responsibility" Lyon.

You assume too much and a well drafted contract would not bother with that because once a person is terminated he is paid out his contracted amounts upon termination. So a thorough "conduct unbecoming" clause is like trying to close the gate well after the horse has bolted.

I like Neeld going on Footy Classified, mainly because it means Caro will get less air time.

If Neeld wasn't on, she would've just spent her time going to town on Neeld and raving that MFC shouldn't get a PP.

If I was Mark Neeld, I'd go on there to, Neeld can talk his way around anything, along with Cam Schwab, they should be politicians - not CEO's and Coaches.

I know it was not all MN fault that the MFC is in the trouble it is in.

But I still feel that a public flogging at the next AGM is still deserved. Mr Hogans_Heroes can you use a cat of nine tails?

Oh well I just have to be satified that he been so publicly sacked.

Does the MFC not have lawyers who can draft contracts to protect the financial interests of its members. There must be a way not to pay MN $600K as he has been the worst Senior Coach in the history of the Club, if not the league.

Bye Mark and thanks for all the memories as the Senior Coach. It will take years of intense therapy before I can truly recover.

That finally said I will give my support to Craige as the new temporary Senior Coach of the MFC.

As my Rant is finally over so now on to that 13th Premiership!

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
