I'm in Shock! Development is a surprise.

Just when you thought Essendon couldn't get any weirder ... :o

Mark Neeld plus Essendon is a recipe for a very dangerous Demonland thread.


I hope that Steven Dank also can source some valium. If so, then it mightn't be such a bad appointment.

It is what it is.

Ha nearly fell off my chair.

Good luck!!!!!!!


cant wait for the "reality bus" to hit the bumbas!

I wonder if the Bombers have their own version of Matt Burgan. He will need to be debriefed prior to interviews with Neeldy. I was always worried he was going to jump the desk and bite Burgo's face off ala Hannibal Lecter during those interviews!

head of development hey what an oxymoron that is!

Give me a break guys, talk about looking in the rear-vision mirror and hitting the tree.

I can tell you from a personal level, Neeld was out of his depth 1 month in at this club - he personally told me. If you think that the win/loss impact of Roos (who according to the associated avatars on this forum has more nous than any coach going around) was $equivalently different from what Mark Neeld delivered, then shoot me down. The guy had his reputation, his career and his income smashed in the experience at MFC and just for your info, he was on pretty low $. Maybe that's all he deserved I hear you saying.....get a life, move on and leave the poor bloke alone. If you want to blast me, maybe focus the replies on Lyon and co who decided he was the man for the job.

I'm out, you guys are a pack of rabid drifters - and if you need to learn the definition of a drifter, read some Napoleon Hill

I don't think there were too many complaints about Neeld the assistant coach, which is effectively what he will be (if this is true).

I've got no problem with that and good luck to him. He wont get (or want) another senior coaching gig, nor should he.

If it doesn't work out and the bummers go backwards, even better.

Is there a bit of a pattern developing maybe, with the appointment of disciplinarians as development coaches?

I think this is a good appointment. Yes he failed as senior coach but was a good assistant and there's no reason he can't go back to being one. He was out of his depth in our mess and it's taken a couple of years and still counting for us to unravel it.

He was hit by more than the reality bus when he was at Melbourne. Good luck to him.

Another classic Mark line. Good one!

Give me a break part 2

This bloke took on the job, he thought he had the goods and he was found to be an absolute shocker. In fact he may go down as the worst coach ever of the MFC.

As much as I think Lyon and others stuffed up in recommending him, this bloke thought he was God's gift to coaching! Ask some of the players about his people management!!

It was very poor indeed ! Nup don't paint him as anything else than a woulda, shoulda, coulda!! Our gain at not having him around is exquisitely Essendopes further sinking into the Abyss!

love it!

Good post. Most posters here sprinkle their narrative with some puerile reference to Neeld. Move on.

Great Mark! Keep up the personal insults. They make you look so good!

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
