Neeld made a lot of mistakes, but this wasn't one of them

The fault with the censorship of words is with the programming. I haven't the foggiest idea why it would censor the word "[censored]" on this site when we have so many of them posting here :lol:

Great post WJ. I fully support filtering out the undesirables and lowlifes who constantly derail threads.

I didn't say you did, but this useless 'Bailey was bad but not as bad as Neeld' is self serving or naive. Maybe both.

I never said you did. I dont why you were grandstanding such a false argument that no has argued. And your efforts to pontificate "eras" does not hide your inability to distinguish the extent of the disaster between the two coaches.

My original assessment applies. No doubt you will try to parrot it to look clever.

Isn't hindsight marvellous. Shame the hindsight experts spent their time cheerleading Whiteboard Wednesday, draft positioning and stillborn youth policies when they should have had a more critical appreciation of what was really going on. Many knew there was a bad smell around but some influential posters were all to wiling to help paper over the cracks.

Spot on.

Neeld was a mistake!

Flogged each week!

Lost the players!

Player exodus!

PJs open words ... MFC an impediment on the competition.

Need any more evidence!

I hope everyone understands who is being insulted in that last cartoon.

The only identifiable players are Dunn, Toumpas and Jones. Seems like a random selection. At least they are still standing. Those who fell were too ashamed to fall on their faces obviously.

I do WJ

It was us as supporters of the MFC, but revenge will be sweet when it comes in a few seasons time.

I find the comparisons between Neeld and Bailey interesting.

I don't think that a comparison is even possible.

I think that what Neeld wanted to do and what he identified as being wrong was streets ahead of Bailey who seemed happy to let "Same ol same ol" keep rolling on. ( or Bailey was hamstrung by the administration).

However Neeld was spectacularly unsuccessful in implementation and more importantly player buy in. Bailey I think had the players more onside but had very little vision.

Needless to say neither of them will go down as our finest appointments.

I think Bailey had some vision on the playing front but didn't have the steel to take on Schwab and Connolly. If what they are saying about those two is true, he needed to turn around and tell the board 'either they stop what they are doing or I leave'. He was on a hiding to nothing and if he had done that, maybe things would have turned out differently.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
