Neeld weighing up footy comeback

That was like seeing your ex from a relationship that ended horribly. It was very awkward to read and a flood of bad memories accompanied it.
Is Neeldy back in Geelong? Wasn't he the talent manager at Carey? Or Eastern Ranges?

No point sticking the boots into Neeld

No coach would have fared any better with the list and culture we had

And he won the same amount of game in his first year at the MFC as Roos did

You're joking aren't you? You used to carry on like a six year old who had dropped his wowwy pop into the dirt every time his name was mentioned in 2013.

So the MFC went from 8.5 wins in the season before he coached to a 4 win team (3 wins to the expansion teams),

It my understanding that his behaviour towards the MFC team in one particular game is now used as a teaching aid on how not to behave towards AFL teams.

No coach can succeed without the full support of their team. Unfortunately Neeld did not understand this most basic of coaching fundamentals which made him a terrible senior coach.

Can you elaborate a little on the specifics?

Candidate for best people skills he is not.

I agree with what Neeld says.

Just a pity he did not see Ollie Wines as a NEED for the MFC when he was sitting right under our noses.

Well he banged on about wanting players with 'grunt' didn't he, and then didn't actually follow his own philosophy.

Demonland is where all the big questions get asked and answered. Sometimes. So what's a wowwy pop?

It is how a young child with limited pronunciation skills might say 'lolly pop'.

Last I checked Todd Viney selected Toumpas over Wines.

He might have been involved in announcing the selection but he certainly didnt advocate it. So your point would be

Yes I think Todd has to carry the can for the Toump decision over Wines, can't let Neeldy be the decoy.

Where's the proof then? unless you have a direct quote from Viney saying it wasn't his decision I think its people trying to find more excuses on Neeld.

I remember hearing Wines mother get interviewed by ABC grandstand last year and she said the most clubs that showed a lot of interest were St Kilda and Hawthorn. to the point where they drove up to Echuca and did numerous of interviews. No mention of the dees whatsoever.

This story has been going around for a while and no one has come up with any proof of it being correct. I'm happy to can Neeld for the things he got wrong and if this is one of them so be it but at the moment it sits as Viney's decision.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
