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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
