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.

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????

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.

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

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

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
