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.

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
