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?

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.

Last I checked Todd Viney selected Toumpas over Wines.

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'.

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.

I heard somewhere Viney and Neeld nearly got into a punch up over this draft debacle. Neeld won on seniority.

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.

It's an exclamation made by the many adoring young females who lust after me at the gym.

I think the "wowwy" bit you hear might be the sound of vomiting.

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
