Jesus, no more photos of Mark Neeld. I just had a relapse :P

Scary isn't it.

He came highly recommended by Collingwood.

Garry Lyon "helped us out"with that one.

Selective at best...

Quotes from the Sun....

"(Neeld) said he wasn't too happy with the defensive side of my game and I had just had a meeting with the midfield coach prior to meeting who said to me they were extremely happy with defensive side of my game.

"There were a few things that were confusing at Melbourne, but I was a lot more confused that day."

and

"He says he never had words or disagreements with senior coach Neeld, but clearly "the relationship deteriorated" from Neeld's end."

Its inexcusable in a winning or losing side. And Magners issues were not isolated. This has been typical across the playing group.

So you keep telling us, often, ad nauseum and obsessively.

Let us Never forget what can happen if we get the wrong man!

I know it painful but without pain we will never fully recover

In his very own words Magner stated that Mark Neeld told him why he was dropped after round 9 yet people still claim that Neeld did not communicate properly with his player. Those who have a knowledge and a working experience of football clubs where you can only fit 22 into the main team from a list of in excess of 40 will know that these things are commonplace. It happens at successful clubs but the atmosphere is different because the team is winning.

Fair dinkum. They need to put a bubble over this picture with the caption "I told him I wasn't happy with the defensive side of his game".sad_mark_neeld400_18rt112-18rt117.jpg

Magner was under a temporary rookie uplift at the time and he was due to return to that status within a few weeks. He didn't have priority over the team interests but sadly at this club, we developed a soft[censored] attitude over the years that will continue to haunt us unless we get over some of the stupidity expressed in some quarters over this story.

Neeld communicated with the player, but it seems he didn't communicate with his line coach to make sure the message to the player was consistent. Maybe this is one of the things Royal-banshees had been long searching for?

A solid reason why he should've been given the sack a long time ago!

Who knows? But the mixed messages are there, if you believe Magner.

As you say, Magner clearly didn't understand the gravity of his own situation, that being a temporarily upgraded rookie who was giving an average output at AFL level.

I'd say he got some exposure at AFL level, but not enough to really understand what it took to succeed at that level, overestimating his ability to do that.

Why would anyone listen to Royal at all,ever.

Especially given the results he was getting.

Still-gen Y are wagging the dog at other clubs and they were here.

The last of the gen x crew tried to sack the admin also.

GenX should have shown genY how to behave.

They ended up getting a discipline man like Neeld because the leaders wouldn't take control of the youth.

What a mess.

Hardly Royals fault if Neeld did not communicate with line coach????

Some people like you need to be told often.

Try following your own advice and take a well earned hike.

And I trust you don't have to be told often.

It's also possible that Royal was not listening to Neeld and not sticking by the party line.

A bit like when Dad says No and then Mum says Yes because it is non confrontational.

That'll do thanks.

This is a forum and he has a right to say what he said.

You are not a moderator and have no right to tell him to take a hike.

I am and you can take this as a warning. Let's try keeping things civil and on topic please.

And I trust you don't have to be told again.

The picture stood out to me as they appeared to be truely hurt by the Teams performance.

This is the type of supporters we all should love.

Pity our teams was so bad in 2013 and the previous six seasons.

Possible but proof?

As much proof as you have that Neeld didn't convey his message to Royal.

I was not saying that was the case just pointing out there are two possibilities.

So would it be appropriate to direct Demonstrative's original response at me to you?

They are still well and truly on board.

I have met them at the Wharf Hotel a couple of times.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
