Don't know about you, but I loved seeing the vision of Mark Neeld giving instruction to Woosher in the box.

We should thank him for Pedo, don't think anyone envisaged him playing a role at the club in 2017 after his first diabolical season with us, but he's been a handy pick up.

Why?

Because he's now influencing Essendon's future and not ours.

I would prefer it Neeld wasn't on tv, reminds me of dark times that I am trying to forget.

I had a good chuckle, forgot he was allowed at another club.

I think Neil Craig is there too.

Hes at Carlton


I bet he didn't see that coming!

That's only fair.

We still owe them for Barry.

First time we've won since he joined Essendon. Ironically, it was the player he almost broke (Watts) and of his most questionable recruits (Pederson) that shone for us.

I wonder if Mark is showing Woosher where the nearest 'Reality Bus' stop is...

Neeld has the runs on the board as an assistant, and from what I've heard from a couple of Essendon-supporting mates, he's appreciated at the Dons, as he was at Collingwood. OK, he was a out of his depth as a senior coach, but no shame in that. You could make the same argument re Brendan McCartney.

nice measured response @bing181

Interesting that all the highly ranked assistants to Malthouse collingwood era failed as senior coaches, whereas Clarkson's are thriving.  I think that was the different leadership by both senior coaches.

Clarkson seems to let people take control within his coaching structure, whereas Malthouse was his way or no way from what I know.  Not all assistants can make it as a senior coach, but the AFL now recognise the value of highly skilled assistants that will remain within a club and make it successful, roles like senior assistant etc have been created.  However in a different development environment would Neeld and the other ex-pies assistant performed better as a head coach? 

 

 

 

Seems to be the trend that the coach should be in his forties and the assistant in his 50's.

Mid to late thirties is too young to coach Too close to players age.

I think Eade is a better assistant than senior coach.He is too old to connect with the ice generation .

I suspect B Mc might have been deemed too old school for a senior spot,same with Neil Craig.

You may be right Biff. 

I have trouble connecting to the man bun. 

It is too humorous!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
