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.

Very articulate!

"Would you knock him down and rob him enquired the leader of the push?


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.

it's just too depressing to trawl over our recent past, i don't know why you all bother

maybe being an mfc supporter just attracts all the masochists

I always have to have the last bird...

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!

Quality!

You know things are getting better when we can have a laugh on ourselves.


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.

This says it all for the 2013 season

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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
