Isn't David King coach of Carey? How will that work. Also APS schools paying former AFL players/coaches to coach the team is a bit of a [censored]. Just get one of the PE teachers who was a decent local footy and involved in local footy to do it. These AFL guys bring in all their terminology and training methods that should be kept away from kids who should focus on schooling. The elite ones can get footy knowledge from their TAC teams.

David King was one of the few commentators to put his balls on the line early and call for his sacking in 2012…for memory.

School kids better come with the right coloured laces to training from now on; is my tip. Also, the canteen better have David King bring Neeldy the mandatory 10 lollies in the coaches tent.

    Wishing Carey and Neeld all the best.

    Was Garry on the selection panel?

    Will Neeld copy and paste Collingwood's 2010 premiership game plan to Casey, like he did with us?

    Casey? Come in 2014.....

    Neeld was on of the worst things ever to happen to our club. F him. Forget him.

    The man tried his best. Didn't work out. His disastrous reign led to one of the best things to happen to our club in years: Paul Roos. Can't complain about that.

    Without Mark Neeld that would never have happened.

    He should be back in the AFL system as an assistant, this is what he does well.

    He wasn't a senior coach at this level, many aren't. He was part of a disastrous period in this clubs history, he wasn't the only problem and not even the major problem but a problem non the less.

    Quite so, if we'd had some mediocre success under Neeld instead of abject failure the Club might have now been heading towards an inevitable doom.

    They were the two years of horror we had to have. I can see the blue skies that Bailey was glimpsing.

    And without Mark Neeld.....a successful team.....more members....more wins.....better development.....better game plan.....

    The question I have is what the hell happened over the 2012/2013 off season??? To loose the first two games of the season by 79 and 148 points respectively.....and to win two games for the year....

    complete failure who we all supported and gave time to and believed in. He let us down....let's hope we stick it up him by having a good season. Fk u Neeld.

    Tomic has just pulled the pin against Nadal !! Groin issue apparently. He did something in the first game but this is not going to help his image. I have a feeling Hewitt with the same injury would have gone down like the black knight in Monty Python. They would carried him out horizontal. But that is not our Bernard. He was playing quite well I thought, maybe it was just bad luck but then Bernie needs to look at all these early retirements and losses due to injury.

    Rumour going around that he's about to be appointed Bernard Tomic's tennis coach.

    Viney worked with the Scud from memory-along with some other not so good coaches.

    I understand that if you frequent night clubs often enough, it's possible that you develop groin issues.

    I feel sorry for him.

    Another Mark Neeld thread!

    Can we not move on and forget the worst ever MFC coach.

    IMO 2014 should be about positive thinking,

    Well at least until the season starts and then we can all get depressed again.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
