Well this should be interesting.

Pretty brave effort for him to appear on this show,  I doubt Mike will go easy on him. I didn't think he'd be sighted ever again.

    Why oh why would it be this week. I know it's relevant now but surely they'd wait till GF week for maximum negative Fugazi impact on this club.

    This will have absolutely no bearing on how the team prepares and plays.

    Heres a thought... Don’t watch it.

    Yep, won’t watch it. Might watch it online in the off season if I feel like I but highly doubt it.

    Fucken scummy journos bringing up all this shite in the lead up to the game can eat a bag full and jump off a building.

    MudDogs you are some kind of graphic artist, that is a special piece of work there.

    The way the fox halo hovers over Mikes head is remarkable. A deft hand, hard to see how you did that.

    I won't be watching this.  There is no need.  Nothing he says can justify or change what he did to the club in his time there.

    How about the favorite questions we'd like Mike to ask him?

    Ive got a few.

    1. Do you think sacking the ENTIRE leadership group in your first pre season was wise for a rookie coach ? 

    2. Do you think your complete and almost total lack of emotional skills in any way impacted your capacity to inspire? 

    3. In hindsight, given you were the worst coach in living memory, do you think  you were merely part of Mick Malthouses grand attempt to shore up his own reputation by recommending you as one of his assistants. 

    4. What do you make of the fact that the  bombers suddenly started winning when you left? 

    5. Are you in fact really just an undercover Collingwood operative..sent to rival teams to destroy them?

    I think this will be interesting. Id love to hear his side of the story on how his relationship was with some of the players. 

    Look when he came to the club I thought great, he has been under mick, been part of a premiership team and had other credentials. I just think our list wasn't that great at the time and he was asking to much. 

    I also think some of these players couldn't handle being yelled at or maybe didn't like what they were hearing.

    Im sure Mike will ask him about the 2 young captains as well. 

    But being at essendon will feature a bit as well.

    Great coach just went to the wrong team, nothing was his fault, players were turned against him by inside forces, secret forces unnamed faceless people.

    Some other time perhaps. Not this week.

    I'm not defending Neeld, I didn't like him from his first presser when appointed but it's never just one man.  The whole club was toxic and divided and the list was terrible.  He put the explanation mark on a terrible period.  

    Nobody at the Club intended to hurt it, they were just out of their depth.  I'll watch with interest, it's part of our history and just highlights the strides we've made and the wonderful contributions of all involved since PJ was appointed.

    But IMO it's time to put the knives away for the Stynes/McLardy era and enjoy our growth both on and off the field.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
