Mark Neeld and Neil Craig glad to be back together at Essendon ... Hnmm

I wonder how many Bummer fans with long memories are uncomfortable with the appointment of Whelan the Wrecker to their staff after his treatment of their Golden Boy in a final . Personally , I would be devastated if , for example, Dean Wallis ever got a gig with us after his targetting of the teenage Brad Green in the 2000 G.F.

Don't you remember the cream for Trengove leg which was supplied by dank

I remember that, but what involvement, if any, did Neeld and Craig have in that action? I thought the doctor acted on his own. Your post suggests that Neeld and Craig were somehow directly involved in the matter. I'm not sure that they were.

when did recommended/offered become supplied?

i believe(?) also that in cream form it can just be obtained by prescription

It was for the foot.

We demand a refund!

I personally rate Craig as a coach and person, he's a good man and knows his stuff.

Neeld was a the wrong fit for our club, but Collingwood can't speak highly enough of him even now so he may do well,

I have a lot of time for Neil Craig. Top Bloke, but i wish he had stood up and taken more control once Neeld had lost the players.

He even admitted the same. He was too passive

Always rated Craig as a good sergeant.

Some people are just good at certain things and should never be given the reins.

I think Craigy did the best with what he had when he was caretaker. He was given a bum hand and there wasn't much he could have done to turn the place around.

You are right WYL. I remember Craig saying at a presser that he could see things going wrong during Neeld's tenure and that he wish he had said more. The question that would need to be asked though is: would Neeld have listened?

Neeld should have had no choice but to listen.

Craig was there as a mentor. But he was too nice.

He genuinely loved the players and probably got on well with Neeld and co.

Probably too well. He should have stood up after Round 2 2013.

It wasn't hard to see the club was in crisis from that moment.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
