Maybe I've missed something, but what's this about?

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

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.

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?

They're not monsters. Neeld was merely incompetent - the club made the mistake of appointing him. I suspect that Craig was so excited by the lifestyle of a real city that he took his eyes off the ball (and got falconned).

They're the drug cheats problem now.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
