You may be right Biff. 

I have trouble connecting to the man bun. 

It is too humorous!

I have trouble connecting with their needs and feelings.

When I was in my twenties feeling good was good enough .

Now they want houses,job security,careers.

"Social media guru" or "tattoo artist"  or"Vlogger" are the preferred avenues to obtaining such things.

I get way more joy in knowing that BP is recruiting manager at North, than Mark Neeld being at the Dons.

Didn't know that. When was BP appointed?

My bad, he is a part of their recruiting team, not their head recruiter.

He's there so they know who not to pick (unless it's a ruckman)

I never want to see Neeld ever again but like Freddy Kruegar, he keeps coming back.

It is what it is but at least it's not what it was.

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.

What I find interesting is that once a senior coach fails once they are rarely given a second opportunity. This is despite the fact that they will have lessons learned from the first experience as well as new ideas and experience from their subsequent assistance roles under new coaches and regimes.

Walls, Malthouse & even Norm Smith didn't experience success at their first clubs but subsequently overcame this. John Northey came close after his first stint at Sydney would be considered a failure. Malcolm Blight also struggled in his one year at North Melbourne, didn't win the ultimate at Geelong but then went on to succeed at Adelaide.

I'm not saying for 1 minute that Neeld should be a senior coach again, but I think there are a number of assistants that have previously coached that could be worth another look.

Of course Rodney Eade is the exception to prove the rule given he's with his 3rd club now, yet he has only ever been to the big dance once way back in his very first year as a senior coach.

Good point. I think there would be some coaches that had moderate success that could give it another go. Mathew knights and Sanderson to name a couple.

the problem is that club boards are too conservative.

if they pick a coach a second time round and it doesn't work out then they have to face the backlash and criticism.

If a first up coach doesn't work out I think there is less criticism.

Neeld was handed the poison chalice. Whoever got the job under the then current administration would have drank the poison. The club was disfunctional at every level and needed a clean out from the top down. Good thing the AFL intervened. That he still can hold down a job in the game shows he wasn't a total loser.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
