The worst pre-match speech ever

Would be interested to see how he would have gone with the list we have now.

The game plan was garbage, but who knows how he saw it developing once we had the list he envisaged.

 

 

Wait, thinking about it more, we would have been in even more trouble, as the game has travelled in a 180 degree direction from where he has us heading.

Imagine playing today's top teams, with a list full of Mortons/Bleases/Gysberts etc. OMG, horrific.

 

Poor bastard really was out of his depth.

Speech written by Mel Brooks originally for Gene Wilder in the Frisco Kid.

Flogging a dead horse here don't you think

Jeepers Jacka for the first time in a decade I'm in a pretty happy place with this footy club and you have to take us back to the nightmare.

No the question is what is the point of this thread?

Can a dead  horse be flogged twice? This is the pre game speech when we lost to Essendon  by 148 points.

That's depressing stuff. Worse to lose to their seconds team this year.

[picket fence 17,169]

laughable! at best, at worst an indication of why and how this guy ever ever got selected as coach! Period!

[Little Goffy 14,546]

Ahhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiit.

I couldn't bring myself to get through either of them all the way.

[WattsGawnOn 122]

Spine tingling stuff

[dazzledavey36 54,944]

This is a pretty [censored] poor thread. I was not a Mark Neeld fan but to start a thread purely to [censored] kick him is [censored] weak. Mark Neeld has moved on and so have we. 

Paul Roos was right all along with the negative veil that supporters still carry.

 

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Haven't watched them. Not going to. Why bother? We've moved on.

[Sir Why You Little 37,038]

Tough Job being a coach. 

I feel sorry for him watching that

[Hulett Packard III 166]

Is there any vision around of Paul Roos' pre match speech from last weekend?

[Phadraig 760]

I don't think Neeld was much of a coach but I think Roos put it succinctly when he said on the couch that it isn't all about the coach, it's about the people around the whole club. There's a reason that he brought over all the assistant coaches that he knew.

[Pates 9,660]

Why the hell with the club going in such a positive direction would anyone want to dredge this cr@p up? Seriously it's in the past, it was a terrible time, why do we need to relive that horror show?

Part of me has sympathy for Neeld. Another time, another place he might've been a good coach. For us he wasn't what we needed at the time.

Fuc# I hate him... Dont think too many have could done  a better job but he had no idea... Literally sent our club back 2-3 years

Not by himself he didn't. Even on the coaching team, what the f was Neil Craig doing, yet alone others in the FD, the Board, the Admin?

If there's one thing Roos has shown (us) is that it's not just the coach, it's the people around him, and the whole club, from the President down. Kicking Neeld like this misses the point. Also, it's not Neeld's fault he was appointed to a position that was (probably) beyond him in the first place. I've hired people who weren't up to it, but have never blamed them but looked at what I did wrong to let that happen.

Anyway, agree with much of the above, this is water well under the bridge now, and thankfully we have people at the club who know what they're doing (especially PJ).

[Adzman 2,154]

Makes me ill.  We were in such a dark place back then.

Hard to forget history though.

Negativity will be lifted when we can beat the wooden spoon team or are no longer completely lost on the other side of town (docklands).

If clubs put these video's out for public consumption, they are fair game to comment on.

For sure.  Regurgitating ancient history purely for the sake of reminding us how painful it was doesn't help anybody though.

Nah its actually quite easy to forgeg when you know your team is on the up ready for success over the next few years.

But hey if you want to keep bathing yourself in negative past tense then run wild..

Me? I'd rather watch YouTube video's on our win against Hawthorn Collingwood Port knowing the only way is up from here and the exciting talent we have on board.
